It's Monday and it's time for music!
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 is free choice, and I did some free form association in my mind. I actually started with the last song, and worked backwards, because why not?
From the Australian group, INXS, The One Thing, from 1982.
From 1983, Howard Jones and What Is Love.
Depeche Mode - Strangelove.
Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth) - George Harrison
Under the Milky Way-The Church.
Last, but not least, "You Don't Own Me" was first recorded in 1963 by singer Leslie Gore, when she was 17 years ago. It became her second hit. Her real name was Leslie Sue Goldstein and she was from Brooklyn (a borough of New York City). Gore was a junior in high school, with no professional singing experience when she had her first hit "It's My Party". But, she would outdo herself with her second hit.
I consider it a love song, and am including it. After all, if we don't love ourselves, how can we give love to others?
And that's a wrap.
Join us again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
I enjoyed all of these tunes, but only remember George Harrison's and Leslie Gore's, an old favourite. Yes, those are excellent lyrics, for the times. Depeche Mode and The Church both have cool sounds. Off to YouTube for more...
ReplyDeleteINXS is cool. I never knew about it. Now it is on my music list
ReplyDelete...George Harrison and Lesley Gore are the only ones that I know.
ReplyDeleteLeslie Gore brings back so many memories. /CarolC
ReplyDeleteI'm with Tom. The only ones familiar were George Harrison's and Leslie Gore's. I love these little glimpses, Alana! I always come away a little more knowledgeable.
ReplyDeleteAnd with a tune in my head!
Alana,
ReplyDeleteThe Church "Under the Milky Way" came to my attention after I began blogging. I was pregnant with our first daughter, so maybe between the hormones and working it just escapes my memory. Leslie Gore's hit is such a classic. All the others just flew over my head somehow. You'd think I lived under a rock in the 80s. lol Have a boogietastic week, my friend!
These are great and love INXs and Depeche. A harken vack to the 80s. Love that last song which is timeless.
ReplyDeleteGreat songs, all of them!
ReplyDeleteI love the leslie gore song.

ReplyDeleteVery cool. Love Howard Jones and I picked The Church last week.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't actually familiar with these but I love that.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love your playlist, Alana! We forgot about the song of George Harrison, but so glad we found it here again. It still is so touching😻Granny always thought that Lesli sang 'you don't know me', so that's what she sang about 60 years (she was 5 when the song came out)🙊Double Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend🐾😽💞 Ps we stopped by at your other bloggie on the way the mewsic hop.
