Welcome to Music Moves Me!
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.
I want to thank those who have joined us for our weeks of holiday music, and hope you will stay on for 2022. 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).
Each month, except December, we have a guest conductor. For January, our guest conductor is our very own Cathy at Curious as a Cathy.
Cathy has chosen the theme for this week: "Winter theme songs/band names relating to arctic animals, snow/snowmen, hibernation. Feel free to expand on the idea." Well, this is going to have some different music - I hope you like my selections.
Why not start with "A Winter's Tale" from 2003, by the Moody Blues?
Let's continue with "Song for a Winter's Night" covered by Gordon Lightfoot, originally released in 1967. This has been covered by various artists.
Animals? Can't resist that 50's music. From 1955, "Earth Angel" by the Penguins.
Names? Johnny Winter, older brother of Edgar Winter, was a blues guitarist known for his covers. A song that has nothing to do with winter is my selection: Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo, also features Rick Derringer.
Not really a winter song, either, but I love it so "Snow (Hey Oh) from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Back to arctic animals. Not a real arctic animal, but let's listen to the Arctic Monkeys and one of their hits, "Do I Wanna Know?"
I am going to wrap this up with my take on hibernation - a Canadian indie group called Wintersleep and a nice, catchy song: "Weighty Ghost".
And that's a wrap!
"See" you again next week, same time, same place, for another episode of Music Moves Me.
Alana,
ReplyDeleteI thought about the Winters brothers and as tempted as I was to use them I stayed away. Arctic Monkeys was a group I purposely didn't pick because I was certain someone would get them since they are quite popular. That's great you found a song that fits the 'hibernation' category. Excellent song set, my dear. Have a boogietastic week! Try to stay warm. ;)
Wow, what a great playlist
ReplyDeleteSo many goodies here! Thank you, Alana!
ReplyDeleteYou had Johnny Winter, I had Edgar. Nice playlist!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Edgar Winter had a musical brother, must run in the family.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I'm so enjoying everyone's take on the themes. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week filled with wonderful music. ♥
Nice choices. I know most of the groups, but all the songs are new to me.
