Friday Favourites!

I have a new favourite song. 

Do you ever hear a song that just grabs you? A song that picks you up and makes you pay attention? A song that has so much meaning and heart that you just smile? Perhaps even find a tear in your eye because you can relate so deeply?

This song..... is beautiful ...

 

Much Love!!!

Pandora - The Matchmaker

Pandora. I love you. 

If you have never heard of or used Pandora, you are missing out if you are a lover of music! It not only plays music that you love, but depending on what artist you input, it will grab other interesting musical similarities to your choice and play that for you too. This is a wonderful way to happen upon new music that you may never have otherwise been introduced to. 

I have found so many artists and songs that I adore through Pandora. I'm at the point I may have to upgrade for the paid version. I use it that much. I haven't yet because...well....I'm just stingy...lol! 

You can create your own music stations and play music you love all day long. (You only get so many hours per month for free - I think it's 30, or you can upgrade to allow more play). If while you are playing a station and a song plays that you don't like, you just click the thumbs down button and it won't play again. It's another way to help it determine your liking! 

Today I came across a band I had never heard before and I absolutely LOVE them!! Mumford and Sons, an English folk rock band from London!

Here is a bit of an introduction for them...a humble band who loves what they do! 

The instrumentation in this video is brilliant. Although the words are not for the wee ones....it's an amazing composition...

Kinda wants to make you up and dance a little jig... :)

You can't get much more real than this.... Incredible! 

There are a ton more videos out on You Tube if you care to see more. I'm grabbing the album tonight. 

Real music. Beautiful voices..... what's not to love!?

Much Love!!!

I Will Not Say Goodbye

Every year, in the itty bitty town I live in, there is a "festival" that brings in musicians.  Sometimes they are local or just starting out but sometimes they bring in great well known bands!! Last year it I got to see Zac Brown Band who was a lot of fun. However, this year they brought in Danny Gokey! {Be still my heart!}

I've followed Danny since he audition on American Idol. I remember getting chills when he sang that first time for the judges and making the statement that I knew he would go far. His story choked me up and despite his hardship, he stood strong, he held his head high and he was true to who he is. Even now while he is in the spotlight he hasn't lost what is important. He's true and he's real and such an inspiration and I adore him for that. Someday, I will meet him and give him a big hug. :)

I Will Not Say Goodbye is one of my favourite songs and he performed it last night. It gives me the chills every time. I can relate in so many ways....



Much Love!!!
