• L is for Lady Antebellum. . .


    I listened to this song so much when it came out, I had to put it away for a while.

    But within the past few weeks, it landed BACK on my iPhone playlist.

    Crazy, I know? Gosh, I played this song so much I thought my husband was going to scratch his ears off when it came on.

    And I don’t even like country music that much!

    There’s just something about this tune. Smooth, intense, and of course, the HEA (Happily Ever After). I’m all about that…And after yesterday’s song, we ALL NEED that!

     

    What’s a song you recently put BACK on your playlist?

  • Throwback Thursday–Week of Love


    Love Songs . . . The’ve been around forever. Some good ones, some great ones, some with great lyrics, some from great movies.

    I’m guest blogging today to give you my top 10 love songs. When I hear these, I think of the wonderful woman I married 14 years ago.

    I hope some of these remind you of your special someone too.

    10. Giving You the Best that I Got, by Anita Baker. Her unique voice has always intrigued me. The lyrics of this song are strong. Perfect theme song for a marriage.

    9. More Than a Woman, by the Bee Gees. I know it’s disco, in fact it’s from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Listen to the lyrics on this one. Great words a husband would say to his wife.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK67GCIPaF4]

    8. I Melt With You, by Modern English. Another movie song. Can you name it? Yep “Valley Girl”. Premise of the song: I would stop everything to be with you. Pretty cool. Great one hit wonder by the way.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuN6gs0AJls]

    7. Biggest Part of Me, by Ambrosia. First of all I think David Pack has one of the best pop voices ofall time. This song has got to be on you “Light Hits of the 70’s” CD

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QIWtY7gzvA]

    6. Endless Love, sung by 2 powerhouses–Lionel Richie and Diana Ross. Also a movie song. But WOW, so powerful.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnfwnOp6uek]

    5. I Love You More Today than Yesterday, by Spiral Staircase. Up beat catchy tune, but great lyrics. Older song, hopefully some of you remember it.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuqHlv1YPe0]

    4. Tender Love, by Force MCs. Something about it. Just a real simpletune. Some songs you can tell are sung from the heart….this is one of them.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x0T5UIBngQ]

    3. I Live For Your Love, by Natalie Cole. If I had to guess I would say this song was personal for her. It came out in the late 80’s. Cole had struggled with addiction, etc and this song most likely was about someone special in her life.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zroDrTwgRTw]

    2. The Closer I Get to You, by Roberta Flack and Donnie Hathaway. “by giving me all you’ve got….your love has captured me” Powerful lyrics. Flack’s voice is beautiful. I almost put this at number 1.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T7NLqMGEck]

    1. True, by Spandau Ballet. Chosen more for the production than the lyrics. Love the bass line, but love the lyric: “head over heels when toe to toe…this is the sound of my soul” the lead singer seems to bare his soul when singing this.

  • MUSICAL MONDAYS–week of love


    Until the End of Time, by Foreigner

    ***

    heart1This week’s posts will be dedicated to LOVE. You may be asking, “But Valentine’s Day has already passed, what are you doing?”

    True, true. It has passed. But everyone did love posts last week, I didn’t want to blend in. See, I’m a rebel that way… **LOL**

    So, I chose Until the End of Time because it is near and dear to my heart.

    It was the song my sweet hubby and I danced to at our wedding reception. Our “first song” —ahhhhh

    I didn’t post the video because it really doesn’t represent how I view the song. Feel free to check it out yourself if you want, but the lyrics mean something different to us (me and my hubby).

    Specifically,

    “Never will I lose this heart’s desire. Ever will I feel your love’s fire only when I know that you’ll be mine until the end of time.”

    And,

    “And when I see the light of live shine in your eyes when they meet mine, only then I’ll know it’s you and I until the end of time.”
