Songs for a Strange Time #MusicMovesMe

It's Sunday, and it's time for music.  Again, I'm posting a day early (which kind of reminds me of the idiom "a day late and a dollar short" for some reason) because tomorrow is Pi Day, and you may want to check out my post tomorrow celebrating (as we write it in the United States) 3/14.

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!)   Our head is the incomparable XmasDolly.  Her co-hosts are the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, the artistic Cathy from Curious as a Cathy,  and little ol' me.  Joining us also is Sandee from Comedy Plus, who hosts several weekly memes on her blog, including the Wednesday Wordless Wednesday meme I participate in.  Welcome, Sandee!  And a shoutout to all those bloggers who participate in Music Moves Me!

We'd love more music lovers to join our fun group.  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).  That's it!

Each month, except December, we have a guest conductor. For the month of March, our guest conductor will be none other than Xmas Dolly, Marie, herself! Today, Xmas Dolly has chosen "You Pick" - we do whatever we want (musically, that is).

I'm in a bit of a strange mood this week, and some of my songs will reflect that. Most of my selections are going to be deviating from my normal.  These are songs I like when I am in strange moods.

First, the Rolling Stones, with Street Fighting Man.  Fun fact, this song was not played by a number of stations because of its lyrics.

If I have the Rolling Stones I have to haveThe Beatles.  Here they are with Revolution.

I grew up in New York City listening to WABC radio and the station wouldn't play the last two verses of this song, possibly because they made the song too long.  Or maybe for another reason?  Or both?  This song was a groundbreaker in 1965:  Bob Dylan and Like a Rolling Stone.

Push is a song by the Christian rock group Thousand Foot Krutch. This is not worship music, but it is inspirational in its own way.

 Bring Me the Horizon is a British group whose musical styles have changed over the years.  This first song is from 2020, but it was written, as I understand, pre-COVID-19.  Still, the lyrics are oddly prescient.  And chilling.

My final selection is Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold.  The last two minutes of the video is silent, so it isn't as long as you think.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a wrap.

Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
