Who are the members of Music Moves Me ? We are bloggers who blog with music each Monday. If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only- Please post containing links to You Tube or Vimeo for actual music. Other posts are subject to removal or labeling as "No Music".) Every other week we have a theme and on alternate weeks we have "You Pick".
Our conductors? First, there is XmasDolly. Her chief co-conductor is Cathy of Curious as a Cathy. Her other co-conductors are Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, and me.
For April, our guest conductor is Binky the Cat and his Granny at their blog Angelswhisper2011. Their theme for today: Angels in song titles or lyrics.
But this is W day, meaning I have to find at least one song beginning with W. And I actually did that.
William the Angel is a song about an Angel trying to convince the world of God's love - something he has failed at. This is his story. I wasn't familiar with the song or the singer, but this man has (I think) an incredible voice.
Some of my other Angel favorites:
Angel of Harlem - U2. I can't say this is my absolute favorite U2 song, but it's right up there. I love the lyrics.
Johnny Angel - Shelley Fabares, from 1961.
Send Me An Angel by Real Life, originally released in 1983, but this is a later remix, I believe. This 80's music fan loves this song.
I will end the angel songs with this beautiful ABBA song "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room".
Time enough for one bonus song - the video of the world during the COVID-19 lockdown to Disturbed's cover of Sounds of Silence is back up! Copyright issues are resolved and some different footage had to be inserted, but the video and song are both so powerful, it's well worth your time.
And that's a wrap.
Join me again next Monday - same time, same place, for more Music.
Great selection, happy music Monday!
ReplyDeleteW is for Women
Interesting playlist. I don’t know most of the songs.
ReplyDeleteVery eclectic playlist here. Like you, the artist and song, "William the Angel", are new to me but most enjoyable. I always smile when I see videos of songs from the late 50's and early sixties. They were so clean and simple. Thanks for sharing the dance floor. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteVery nice songs. Enjoyed them all.
ReplyDeleteI've heard Johnny Angel before to cute, and Send me an Angel & Abba's tune has been used a few times, but William the Angel what a wonderful story I never heard this tune before. Very nice. Thank you for sharing. Be healthy and stay safe! hugs
ReplyDeleteThe COVID Sound of Silence was chilling. I had to share it on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That William an Angel was really great, we didn't know the song nor the singer. U2 is one of our favourite bands, and so are their songs. In short we liked your playlist, thank you for the mewsic, Alana😸Clean Pawkisses for a Happy Wednesday. Stay Safe Healthy and Yourselfie🙏🐾😽💞
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteNice song set. I have to agree Disturb's mewsic video is chilling. It sure makes the words of the song more profound. Tennessee will begin reopening business the first of May. Let's pray there won't be a significant resurge in the virus. I think it will rear its head but hopefully with little to no fatalities. I believe Covid-19 is forever apart of the world illnesses just like the common cold and flu. Be well, my dear. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with me. ;)
Thanks for this post. Of course, the two songs I recognized were Johnny Angel (and I remember playing it on that very same Victrola!) and of course, the Sounds of Silence... Never heard the rest of them, but they were a delight to behold.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Angel Song choices, Alana! I'm with Cathy - the Disturb's music video is chilling. Hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy! <3
