I don’t know how to like music
I have a confession, you guys. I don’t know how to like music. I can’t casually think that a song is kind of ok. If you ask me if I like a song and I say, “It’s not bad,” I’m totally lying to you because I think it’s rude to say, “Ewww seriously? That makes me want to stab myself in the ears.”
My only settings with music are LOVELOVELOVE and no thanks. When I love a song, I LOOOOOVE a song. I insert myself into the song. I direct and star in the music video. I find every way that it relates to my life. I turn it into an anthem. I dive right in and wiggle around until it surrounds me with sheer awesomeness.
Don’t get me wrong…I’m fully aware that music is subjective and not everyone loves what I love. I’m perfectly ok with that and I make no apologies for my taste in music, no matter how misguided. Music snobs hate me. The music that I love doesn’t need to be obscure! I love what I love, and I love where it takes me.
So today I present you with my current loves.
And always and forever…
Which songs take you away? Tell me your favorites!
Edit: OK…WHY are my YouTubes not working today? Is it just my computer? Can you see them?
This song fills me with such intense emotion that I have never been able to sing it ever. I choke every time.
That’s the sign of a truly amazing song.
OMG. I didn’t realize what song that was until I came back to listen to it just now. I LOVE THAT SONG!
Oh Twinsie…thank you for being you.
Don’t it just make your whole heart ache? And it means so, so much more now with babies.
Exactly. Babies give me goosebumps of joy and the deep need to keep them safe from everything in the world ever.
Mumford and Sons ‘I will wait’ is pretty high up there. For some reason right now Depeche Mode’s ‘Here is the house’ is doing stuff for me.
And then of course there’s always Florence. You know the one…
YES YES YES!!! I Will Wait is totally on my list, as well. And Florence. So much Florence. Of course OUR Florence, but also so many more of her songs…
Yes indeed. I’m liking ‘dog days are over’ as well.
I LOVE THAT SONG!
See? THAT is how I feel about music.
That you put that in all caps is what makes me love you even harder.
How do you feel about Skunk Anansie?
I LOVE CAPS!!!
I don’t know Skunk Anansie.
I LOVE YOU!

‘You Saved Me’ is someday gonna be my wedding song.
Skin’s voice is all kinds of awesome. She did a duet with Luciano Pavarotti for the SA song ‘You’ll follow me down’ which gives me gooseflesh every time.
Couple more…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxngWOmTYE0 (the pavarotti duet)
See…I didn’t love those ones. I really wanted to hear the duet, but my silly computer is telling me that this video does not exist. Sad.
It’s ok you don’t love them. Skunk Anansie is my ‘go to’ driving music. I love her voice.
And just you watch, even if you don’t love it, you’ll love it when you’re at my wedding and I’m all beautiful when I dedicate ‘You Saved Me’ to my husband.
OF COURSE!!! It will be PERFECT then!

And you’ll love it even more when I dedicate it to you because YOU save me all the time.
In totally unrelated comments, here’s a link that made me think of you. Gave up sink shining long ago (but I did have a cleaner come in while I was on my trip and that’s a habit that is definitely going to continue), but these things work for me…
