It's Monday and it's time to dance to the music!
Before I begin, I've been somewhat absent from the Internet the last couple of days. It's a long story that involves needing a computer repair on my laptop (and its speakers aren't working, a side effect of the repair, that I can't attend to right now), having to change a password, some problems commenting on some Blogger blogs, and some other minor things. If I am late to commenting on your blog, please excuse me.
Anyway.....
Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers? We are bloggers who blog about music
each Sunday or Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most
welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video,
please!) Our head hostess is Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, and she is joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and (last but not least) me.
Why
not join our music loving folks? It's so easy. All you have to do is
join the linky above with a music post that contains at least one music
video. Without a music video, the post may be removed, or may be labeled *NO
MUSIC*.
Every other week is Free Choice, and on non-free choice weeks like this one, we invite anyone (that means anyone) to suggest a theme. That person could be you!
Today, our theme is is brought to us by some cats and a human, Granny: "Celestial as in the sky/outer space or belonging to or relating to heaven or relating to anything supremely good/beautiful. Inspired by our friends at Angelswhisper2011"OK, let's begin! I'm not sure I am hitting the target here, but I'll give it a try.
From 1976, Tavares and Heaven Must be Missing an Angel.
Louis Armstrong and his 1967-1968 classic, What A Wonderful World. This was a cover of a 1960 Sam Cooke song and the song has an interesting history.
Let's head to 1986 with True Colors from Cyndi Lauper. This is such an inspiring song.
Beauty doesn't have to be straightforward. This is from a 1980's group I've grown to love in recent years, Echo and the Bunnymen. Here is "The Killing Moon", a song that so many are still trying to understand.
We'll end today's set with Knocking on Heaven's Door. As much as I love Bob Dylan's original, I decided on a cover by Warren Zevon, who was dying from lung cancer when he made this 2003 recording.
And that is a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
Interesting interpretation of the theme. Nice choices.
ReplyDeleteKnocking on heaven's door sounds really good. I am in love with it
ReplyDelete...Warren Zevon was an interesting character.
ReplyDeleteLove your playlist here. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteAh, is it technically difficulty week? I hate it when that happens.
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteThe sound of 70s with Tavares and "Heaven Must be Missing an Angel". Gosh, it's been a long time since I've heard this song - great choice!
How sad to read that Warren Zwvon recorded "Knocking on Heaven's Door" near the end of his life. I hope he got his affairs in order with our Heavenly Father before his time was up. This song always makes me a bit sad and I know we'll find ourselves in this same situation one day. On a happier note, I just love "What a Beautiful World" which is beautifully inspiring and uplifting for the soul! Have a boogietastic week, my dear!
Don't know the Bunnymen. And, until I heard your first choice, I was going to say I didn't know them either- wrong. Thanks for making the last week of the month (Heberw) and Washington's Birthday with your great musical selections.
ReplyDeleteNice playlist!
