Haven't done one of these posts in ages.

One of my favorite new discoveries of last year was She & Him. I love multi-talented people and Zooey Deschanel definitely fits into that category. This is a fun video and I love all the dancing. :)

It's officially Monday here on the west coast and I'm itching to post this. *g*

Little known fact about me...I love Sam Cooke's music. :)

My parents brought me up on Patti Page's version of this song, but me? I like this one better! Ha! You can groove to this one! *dances* Enjoy! :D

Here's the song on Grooveshark if you can't view the video (or want to hear the original studio version):



As a bonus, here's another of my favorite songs by Sam Cooke.

Haven't done one of these posts in a while, but I just had a moment and felt the need to share.

My dad and I often shared tastes in music. We would swap music tracks or albums back and forth, and even talk about them. It's different with my mom and I. I'll listen to her music, but she very rarely will stand for any of mine. In this respect my dad and I were closer.

This song came on my music player just now and for some reason I thought of him. I think he would've liked this song, this group, even though he died before they came on the scene. I guess it just hit me that I can't talk to him about music anymore. That and his birthday is coming up near the end of August. Getting a little tearful just thinking about it all.

Five years without him.
I miss you, Daddy. This one's for you. ♥

For this week's post I fired up the Favorites over at Grooveshark, put it on shuffle and decided to post the first song that played.

This is a beautiful song (as all of the songs by this group are) and I equated it a lot with the Season 5 storyline of SPN. Apocalypse, death, end of times, all that is here, along with the longing to be home at the end of your life.



I have this song if anyone wants the download. Just let me know. ;)

I keep asking myself why I go on with these posts. Seems nobody cares about my music tastes except for me. Meh. Oh, well.

I fell head over heels in love with this song after hearing it used in last week's The Vampire Diaries. So beautiful. Delicate yet powerful. Amazing that she's only 14 years old. And, yes...I know this is a cover. I've heard the original and you know what? I like this version much better.
The video is very nicely done as well. :)

I happened to be listening to music from a certain folder on my PC while I wrap things up online & came across this gem of a song. I grew up listening to The Mills Brothers and this song has always been one of my all-time favorites. It's sooo beautiful, gentle, sweet, and has some the best harmonies you'll hear anywhere.

Hopeful, wistful, maybe a little sad, but like a lullaby...I give you "Yellow Bird"...

Grooveshark has the original recording:

I think I'm finally ready to get back to these posts.

Been listening to the Vancouver, BC station Shore 104 FM online tonight and they played this song. They'd played it before and I'd liked it, but this time I took the time to look it up online. I found this lovely official music video. Enjoy! :D

A little late with today's post, but that's the way things go.

I didn't watch the AMA last night, but I sure read about this standout performance by NKOTB & BSB! I was a huge NKOTB fan back in the day, going to several concerts, meeting their parents, and with my bedroom walls covered with their pictures from floor to ceiling. I'm a lesser fan of BSB, though I do have their greatest hits album from several years ago. I like some of their songs, including the 2 they performed last night.

These 2 groups make a great pairing! Woot! :D

Sorry I'm late with this today. Was gone most of the day.

Since I'm in a rush, I fired up Grooveshark, pulled up my Favorites, put them on shuffle and decided to post the first song that started playing. This was it. Love that line about not letting the demons pull you down. Very positive, upbeat song.

If you can watch the video, it's a nice little homage to the Busby Berkley movies of the 1930s. :)

Here's the song on the Grooveshark player, too.

Sorry I missed posting music last week. Totally slipped my mind until about mid-week. :P

Feelin' a little mellow, so I thought I'd share a Michael Buble' song. He is one of my favorite singers and I know I'm not the only one who has him on their playlists. ;)



As always, if you want the download of this song, just let me know. :)
