It's the last month of the year, and it's time to start reflecting on the best music of 2016. Though it wasn't the greatest year on record for music, it did have its moments, like this one from Drake, which was, and still is, a groovalicious and infectious jam. Check out One Dance...
It seems that lots of Christmas decorating was going on this weekend, at least as far as I could see from my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds. Well, it is December 5th, and Christmas is less than three weeks away, so here is a beautiful holiday song for you from that angelic-voiced quintet known as Pentatonix. Check out their beautiful rendition of a classic...
I've been wanting to post this tune for awhile now...so appropriate for this time we're all living in. That's why I love music so much. It has a way of giving us truth in such a way that seems to carry a different mode of meaning than, say, just words on a paper. Please listen, really listen, to the beautiful Holy War...
I love inspirational music and Emeli Sandé has become a master at inspiration. In the midst of the early life of her second album, Long Live the Angels, Emeli seems to have fine-tuned herself and her sound, with a collection of fifteen new tunes that all seem a step above those found on her first record, Our Version of Events. Case in point, this four-minute nugget is inspiration at its best, with beautiful lyrics, an ethereal and gospel feel, and of course her heavenly voice. Check out Breathing Underwater...
Here's a classic jam to get your weekend started. This one is the title track from David Guetta's 2009 gem of a record and features British songstress Estelle on vocals. This one epitomizes the type of quality dance music that characterized the album and spawned a sound that would last for at least a few years on. Check out One Love...
I've been listening to a lot of songs lately from a list on my iPod I like to call All Time Faves, Oh, so many great tunes there! Anyway, here's a P!nk classic...high energy and so much fun! Happy Thursday!
Today is my birthday. I wasn't exactly sure how to approach it this year, at least on here. I haven't been in a good place lately so I don't really feel too much like celebrating. I thought about not posting at all today, but I just can't seem to skip a day. So once I decided to go ahead and post, I set off to find a song to fit my life the way I feel today.
I don't feel like I've been living a lot lately. Too many things on my plate these days and literally very little time to sit back and enjoy life even if it's just in bits and pieces. No, no time for anything but work and driving and more work...at school and at home. And even when I do find some time to myself, like after my class last night, I was simply too tired and went to sleep early...something that seems to happen often lately.
So my song choice is meant to remind me that I have lived life, just not lately, and I will have the chance to live it again sometime in the near future. This craziness of life has just got me feeling stuck, that's all. Anyway, happy birthday to me! Enjoy the song...
