A brief intro to Music Moves Me:

And now for some colorful music!
A Whiter Shade of Pale, which has been covered by many artists since its May 1967 release by the British band Procul Harum. I love the intricacy of the music and the lyrics just as much now as I did back when I first heard it in 1967.
Behind Blue Eyes by the Who.
Paint It Black (also known as Paint It, Black), by the Rolling Stones, released in 1966. It has become associated with various Vietnam themed movies and TV shows. This is another song that has been covered over and over again.
And finally, Greensleeves, performed here by the King's Singers. Yes, this isn't rock. But the human voice, after all, is the ultimate musical instrument, and this song, hundred of years old, is a song I have loved since I was a child.
I liked the entire selection. Although I am more than bored with the endless versions of Greensleeves that permeate the airwaves.
ReplyDeleteGreat classic songs. I enjoyed all of them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love these songs and the theme. It's never too late for color songs!
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteGreat songs! "Greensleeves" is a pretty song. The King's Singers do a fabulous job! Thanks for joining us on the dance floor, my friend!
Great selection of color theme songs. I love them all, well not so much Pearl Jam but all the others! I really enjoy the old videos. Running in the field?
ReplyDeleteThose were some great choices!
ReplyDeleteLove the old memories that these songs carry.
ReplyDeleteGreat song selection, Alana! Loved listening to each of them today. Seems quite a few people extended the theme for an additional week.

Well, look at you! I know today was a FREEBIE & you can post what you like & girl you have rocked the house, but you made me go check to see what the theme was I thought I was mistaken cuz another gal did the same think!!! hahahaha hey to each their own right. Luvin' all your choices. THANKS Havin' the flu you need some smoother tunes to listen too ya know!!! hugs
ReplyDeleteA nice selection of music - we must have similar tastes in rock (I also listen to a lot of jazz and classical). I've seen three of those bands live here in Colorado :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome songs!
ReplyDeleteHi Alana,
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of songs. I wasn't familiar with Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter" so that was interesting to hear.
I too love the "Greensleeves" song and especially enjoyed the King's Singers performance. Fabulous vocal harmonies. I recognized the melody right away but never knew of the song as Greensleeves. I've always associated it with the Christmas song "What Child is This?" so it was very cool to discover that it's actually an old English folk song.
Isn't this color theme fun? I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one doing a color post today! :)
Have a great week,
