It's Monday and it's time for Music!
But first, a note: today is the 15th of the month and time for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. If you are here and looking for flowers (or even if you are not) you can click here to see what I have blooming.
Music lover? If so, away we go!
Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers? We are bloggers who blog about music each 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!) First, there is XmasDolly. Her co-hosts are: Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, and me.
We'd
love more music lovers to join us. It's easy! All you have to do is
join the linky above with a music post that contains at least one music
video (there must be a music video). And that's it!
Each month we have a guest conductor. Today, for the month of November, we once more welcome Driller from Driller's Place.
Driller's theme for today is"You Pick". I'm picking songs that bring back personal memories. I've done this before, and maybe I'm even picking out the same songs, but this is what moves me today.
First off, this is a brand new song, but it brings back memories of all the times I listened to Tears for Fears. They have now released a new album, their first since 2004. They've aged a bit, but their musicality hasn't suffered at all. This song is called "The Tipping Point".
This song brings back memories of traveling to Iowa in 1977 to visit my aunt. This song is actually from 1976, but I remember it from 1977.
This song, because one of the Music Moves Me bloggers did a post on Tommy James not that long ago, and I ached to hear this song again. Here's Tommy James and Shondells doing "Sweet Cherry Wine".
A sad memory, perhaps, but this song reminds me of the months after my Mom died, when I would stay up late at night and listen to the music survey that came out every Tuesday evening on WABC radio in New York City. I decided to use this Dave Letterman clip from 1987 for Sonny and Cher and "I've Got You Babe". Here is one of those surveys.
And finally, Fairfield, Iowa being in the news recently brought back a lot of memories. I heard the album this song is on for the first time in Fairfield, and it was instant love. I now bring you Synergy (Larry Fast) and "Relay Breakdown". One of the commenters on You Tube remembered it being used as background music in Disney's Tomorrow Land.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week, same time, same place, for another episode of Music Moves Me.
...I remember few if any of these.
ReplyDeleteVery nice playlist. It’s wonderful how music and memory are linked
ReplyDeleteOkay, I teared up watching Sonny and Cher.
ReplyDeleteMusic brings back SUCH special memories. Ohmyword!
I always learn something new when I visit here! I love everything from heavy metal to blue grass!
ReplyDeleteI GUESS I'M WITH TOM... I remember some, but not all...Sonny & Cher - definitely hehehe! I saw that Cher on the Tonight Show. It was really cute. It's a shame that Sonny died the way he did. Poor fella. Did you see Cher when she tried to deliver the eulogy (sorry about the spelling it's late & I'm pooped). Had to deliver some food to my daughter because my grandson has Covid. Please keep my boy in your prayers. He's only 15 yrs. old and my daughter is keeping him home. I pray the rest of the family doesn't get either. Actually they all had it already so many prayers are needed. Thank you my friend. Take care... I'M POOPED! Off to bed. Goodnight my friend! HUGS
ReplyDeleteSongs I never heard- and songs that reverberated (Hornsby/Stewart) for years. Great combination. Even the bubble gum yum (Shondells). And an off key Sonny.
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly sure I left a comment last week. Can you check your spam folder? I think my browser is having issues with Blogger/Google, so I'm not sure what to make of it. Just let me know if you would. Thanks!
