It’s the end of the 30 Day Song Challenge and here is my complete list with some thoughts thrown in here and there. Enjoy!
day 01 – your favorite song ~ Glenn Lewis: Beautiful Eyes
-This is a song from the mid to late nineties. my brother had this cd and I fell in love with Glenn Lewis. For a short while I made this my theme song on myspace and it was my title for the page
day 02 – your least favorite song~ Rebecca Black: Friday
-I detest this song with a passion enough said. My opinion, you ain’t gotta like it.
day 03 – a song that makes you happy~ Myron Butler & Levi: Set Me Free; J. Moss: Jump, Jump
- I had tons of choices to choose from, well because music in general makes me happy. If it’s got a good beat and meaning behind it then I’m a happy little girl. but these songs make me happy because my kids from H.O.P so wanted to make a dance out these two songs. Unfortunately I was not so compliant. Either way these two make me happy (yes I know I’m supposed to choose 1)
day 04 – a song that makes you sad~ I want to see Jesus
-This is the song that my pastor sang at my dad’s funeral. It was my dad’s favorite song so it was fitting to sing it there, but from now on this song will always make me cry
day 05 – a song that reminds you of someone~Brooke Fraser: Deciphering Me
-So this song reminds me of my friend Joseph. Here’s why; He introduced me to Brooke Fraser’s music, also for some reason we tend to spend a lot of time talking outside, in parking lots and lastly because he see’s me when I try to hide and put on this facade that everything is ok. He saw through my toughness when I was going through some pretty rough stuff and we weren’t as close of friends as we are now(he told me this a couple of months ago ). He’s also the only person that I have wanted to consciously or unconsciously figure out and get to know.So yeah this song reminds me of him.
day 06 – a song that reminds you of somewhere~Hine Ma Tov
-Oddly enough this song reminds me of Montreal, Canada. Weird right? I remember singing this song, on the bus to the Montreal train station, to some friends to prove to them that I knew a song in Hebrew. So whenever I sing/hum this song I think of the Canada trip in `98
day 07 – a song that reminds you of a certain event~ The Crests: Sixteen Candles
-So on this song, I was turning 16 and my family felt that I needed to have my “first” dance. However, my dad was not a dancer and he was not going to dance with me which now, I kinda regret that I didn’t push for my dad to dance with me that night. I will not have the chance to dance with him ever again. Am I sad about that? Yeah. Anywho, My second oldest brother danced with me instead and that was sweet of him. He even went out to find the music for my party(he and his wife hosted the party actually). I’m quite fond of him for dancing with me (I’m fond of all my brothers I love them all the same(that’s pure truth)). Therefore this song reminds me of my sweet 16 and dancing with that brother of mine.
day 08 – a song that you know all the words to~ Billie Holiday: Pennies From Heaven
-There are a lot of songs that I know the words to. I just recently figured this out. But this one particular song, is my ultimate favorite jazz song that Billie Holiday sings. A lot of people through the years have sung this song but I love Ms. Holiday’s voice. she has this amazingly raspy voice that just fits this song. I have this song on a cd in my car right now and when I travel up down the lonely highways, I turn this song on, roll down my windows and sing with Billie Holiday (awkwardly hoping that when I come to a stop light that whomever is next to me might just hear me)
day 09 – a song that you can dance to~ Willow Smith: Whip My Hair
-I am not that much of a dancer, kinda dance illiterate. But I have bunches of hair that is whip-able. And yes I can move awkwardly around like I am dancing, but not that many people get to see that. for their good I don’t really dance I might hurt myself or someone
day 10 – a song that makes you fall asleep~Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata
-Yeah so I LOVE classical music. That is all
day 11 – a song from your favorite band~The Civil Wars: To Whom It May Concern, I’ve Got This Friend
-This band is my current favorite. I was introduced to them by my bestie and then I started my own personal campaign to enlighten the world to all that is The Civil Wars. Just about every song I have listened to that is sung by them is my favorite. Some not so much but hey on several they hit it out of the park. I just might post two songs
day 12 – a song from a band you hate~Justin Bieber: Baby
-I’m not so sure that one person is considered a band, but I’m not really concerned about that. I do not care about Bieber and that is just a personal preference. If I offend, then I am sorry. Not really
day 13 – a song that is a guilty pleasure~John Legend: Dont you worry about a thing
-I listen to John Legend. a lot. and not many ppl like him but I really like his voice. and then sometimes the songs irritate but that’s another story . yeah this is my guilty pleasure song. I could have chosen P.D.A. but then I would have offended some. oh well
day 14 – a song that no one would expect you to love~ Michael Jackson: I’m Bad
-I have no other reason, other than that I like this song. oh and it makes me smile
day 15 – a song that describes you
-As I thought it would be, this was a rather difficult task. A few people had different ideas as to which song best described me. I think it’s Somewhere Over the Rainbow as sung by Ella Fitzgerald or Little Bitty Pretty One by Thurston Harris. Michelle Ma Belle by the Beatles was suggested by my SISFAM. Or Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner.Or maybe even KT Tunsell’s Suddenly I See. My other bestie voted for Independent by Lil Phat. King of Anything by Sara Barallies. I still have no clue so I think I will go with all of them. Yep that’s what Imma do and I think I’m able to since its me we are describing here. And the Charlie Brown’s Peanut’s Song, Tal Bachman’s She So High.
day 16 – a song that you used to love but now hate~ You Dont Know My Name: Alicia Keys
- I used to sing this all the time until one day I noticed that I was annoyed with the talking part of the song. From there I was just annoyed with the song. when I hear the opening beat I turn the station without hesitation.
day 17 – a song that you hear often on the radio~Owl City: Fireflies
-I like this song and know almost all the words, mainly I just hum along but…when the radio is on, I hear this song, even at work.
day 18 – a song that you wish you heard on the radio~Corrine Bailey Rae: Call Me When You Get This
-I decided to put this one up since I got slightly confused on FaceyourBook (my word don’t hate). But I like this song and do wish that it was played on the radio. I don’t really know, it could be and I just am not hearing it because I rarely listen to the radio. I have a couple of playlist’s and Pandora. Besides I listen to cd’s in my car. yep.
day 19 – a song from your favorite album~Alicia Keys: Un-Thinkable(I’m Ready)//Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir:Days of Elijah
-Can I just say that this a really nifty song. and my only question is….Does she go out to him?
-I really love B.T.C., we listened to this choir for almost forever and we would sing their songs at church. this song I have always wanted to sing, maybe I will someday
day 20 – a song that you listen to when you’re angry~Skillet: Its Not Me It’s You
-I don’t listen to music when I am angry I tend to seclude myself and write or rant about whatever has me upset to someone to get it out. I figured that if I did listen to music whilst in angst I would probably listen to Skillet or something similar
day 21 – a song that you listen to when you’re happy~ 21:03 : You
-I generally listen to music when happy but I really like music that has dance-ability. yep this song has that potential as well as The Fox by Nickle Creek, Mundian to Bach Ke by the Punjabi DJ
day 22 – a song that you listen to when you’re sad~Carrie Underwood: Just a dream
-This song is pure sadness, tears and sorrow. now I am sad and crying with a headache
day 23 – a song that you want to play at your wedding~Pachelbel’s Canon in D
-Because I’m a classy kinda girl. I would love fr this to be played for the wedding party to walk into the church or outside wherever the ceremony will be held I would like the guys and gals to walk down to this and the little ones too.
day 24 – a song that you want to play at your funeral~It is well with my soul
-This song is sad yet beautiful and the occasion of my funeral will be sad but the idea of my soul being at peace, rejoicing and praising my heavenly Father and walking with Jesus and my dad and those that have gone before me and after me in Heaven is beautiful(feels slightly morbid but that’s ok the idea of death used to scare me but it hasn’t in a long while)
day 25 – a song that makes you laugh~Ho Ho Hosanna
-Unless you have your emotions on lock down there is no way to sing this song without getting ticked. I mean really you’re saying, ho ho, ha ha, he he…you’re gonna laugh
day 26 – a song that you can play on an instrument~Beethoven: Fur Elise
-At one point in time I could play the entire movement not anymore I haven’t practiced on the piano in years and believe me it’s just like riding a bike if you stay off of it for years you will fall over
day 27 – a song that you wish you could play~Nickel Creek: Pastures New
-This song I listen to on the way home most of the time and it’s just beautiful and quiet. Dangerous to listen to since it’s so peaceful, it can lead to sleepiness. beautiful all the same
day 28 – a song that makes you feel guilty~Bess Rogers: I would Never
-I have
day 29 – a song from your childhood~I am a Promise I am a possibility
-I had to sing this song at my kindergarten graduation and because I loved to sing this song I would ask to sing it at church all the time until my parents told me no more. tis my fave childhood song and shall forever be.
day 30 – your favorite song at this time last year~Anberlin: Paper thin Hymn & Brooke Fraser: Arithmetic
-Well I have liked Anberlin for a while now and this was the very first song that I had heard from them. Brooke Fraser I was introduced to her last year and this was and is one of my favorites of her’s and probably will always be
So yeah thanks for joining me in this adventure of music its been great. and now back to my regular blogging schedule!
