Today is Good Friday and I should probably be posting some really amazing hymns or thought-provoking songs reminding us about Jesus and His sacrifice. But no, today, you get bubblegum pop. :)
Up first: JBiebs
I really love this song - and am almost embarrassed by that. But 14-year old Ashlea thinks its totally cool and she wins this round. :)
It actually reminds me (and many others) of this little song from when I actually was 14.
Now who doesn't miss a good NSYNC song? :)
And anyone else find it awkward watching Lance in this video now that we totally know he'd rather be singing a song about a boyfriend? :)
My musical tastes this week are a little bit on the funky side. A little modern, a little pop, and a whole lotta bluegrass. :)
First - Gotye, Someone I Used to Know. The video is just as odd as the song. And I am very distracted by this guy's mouth and teeth. Anyway...
Next - A little bit of pop for ya - I have loved Train since their Meet Virginia days - seriously, my first year of Spanish in high school I picked the name Virginia, not realizing until it was too late that it was pronounced vir-heen-ee-ya en the espanol. I switched names the next year. lol
And another weird aside - Does anyone else think that Pat Monahan looks like he could be Ian Somerhalder's dad, or less hot older brother?
Next up a little bit of bluegrass! This song was played Sunday at church during a video and I loved it sooooo much that I downloaded the whole album. I felt like it goes back to my roots a little bit and I just love Rhonda Vincent's voice.
And finally, my newest musical love affair. The Civil Wars. I really had a hard, hard time picking which song to post because their entire album is phenomenal. Seriously - there is not one bad song. Not even a mediocre song. It's like the Adele album in that there is not one bad song. I love them all. Go buy it. Now.
This week my "critera" for my song choices were the 2 songs that caused me to roll down my windows and sing at the top of my lungs. It was lovely.
First song is a oldie, but goodie, Garth Brooks song and my second pick is Adele's Rumor Has It (both videos are live versions this week!). Enjoy! :)
I am trying something new here kids! I am going to try to feature a couple songs every Friday that I have really been digging throughout the week. They may be new/current songs or something more old school. I am going to try to post every week for awhile and see how it is received.
This week I was apparently drawn to songs with haunting quality. First one is And the World Turns by the Gabe Dixon Band. This popped up on one of my Pandora stations and just loved it. What do you think?
And song #2 is Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars, Safe and Sound. I am probably loving it so much because it is the Hunger Games song. So excited to see this movie!!! Right AlliFerg? :) Thoughts on this one?
Well, I hope you like my "Friday Feature!" And if you do, tell me about it! :)
Well, since this blog is a place I get to explore my passions in life I am actually a little surprised that I haven't talked more about music. It's actually quite important to me and I love music. I have little to no talent for it - just ask my college roomies - but it still remains something I love. I enjoy singing to the radio in the car. I have music on all day long at work. I get ready to music in the mornings. Worship is my favorite party of church. There is just something about music that moves me. Now, don't get me wrong, my taste in music is nothing progressive or cutting edge. I like songs that get played on the radio. I love pop, country, rock and roll, and some oldies - everything from Cash to Ke$ha.
I am going to try something new and post a song of the week for awhile and see how it goes. This week I am loving Beautiful Things by Gungor. I am actually going to a Gungor concert at the end of the month and am pretty excited about it. This was just one of those songs this week that I heard exactly when I needed too.
Hello lovelies! I'm just a single 20-something figuring out my life. I started this blog to share my passions which include my furballs (2 poodle-mixes), interior decorating, fashion, and books. I should probably mention Netflix in there somewhere too. Thanks for stopping by!
