It's Monday, which means it's time for music!
Who
are the Music Moves Me bloggers? We are bloggers who blog about music
each Sunday or 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 hostess is Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, and she is joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and (last but not least) me.
Why
not join our music loving folks? It's so easy. All you have to do is
join the linky above with a music post that contains at least one music
video. Without a music video, the post may be removed, or may be labeled *NO
MUSIC*.
Every other week is Free Choice, and on non-free choice weeks, we invite anyone
(that means anyone) to suggest a theme. There are still several weeks without
themes available for someone to suggest a theme for. The 2023 themes so
far can be found here.
Today's theme is chosen by Angelswhisper (Granny with her cats Peachy & Stippie): "love songs with Valentine’s Day coming up. Other options are to pick Valentine song titles or band names or you can even do a Valentine’s Day musical acrostic."
How about some love songs?
I'm starting today with one of the most beautiful love songs of my childhood - 1965's The Righteous Brothers and Unchained Melody.
Percy Sledge's When A Man Loves a Woman was not a song I warmed to right away, but over the years, this 1966 hit has become a classic for my listening. Maybe, in 1966, I was too young to understand.
1984's I Want to Know What Love Is, from Foreigner.
From 1988, Never Tear Us Apart by INXS, is just one of my favorite songs, period.
God Only Know from the Beach Boys is also a beloved song for me.
Silly Love Songs - 1976 from Paul McCartney and Wings, was a reaction to criticism of what some considered "soppy songs" Paul was writing. The message here is "what's wrong with that?". Fun fact, Paul loved God Only Knows, the song above this one.
Last but not least - Your Song, from Elton John
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me!
The righteous brothers sing good memorable songs
ReplyDelete...Unchained Melody is a classic.
ReplyDeleteYou always choose great songs.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices, there are just so many love songs to love.
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteForeigner "I Want To Know What Love Is" and "Silly Love Song" are great songs to share today. Foreigner is one of my favorite oldie bands. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with me. Have a boogietastic week, ole pal! XO
Not familiar with the INXS song, but the others are ALL favourites! (And PAUL, I love soppy love songs!)
ReplyDeleteNice assortment.
ReplyDeleteLove Unchained Melody!! I too, love INXS and was sad when he died. I believe he didn't commit suicide but was doing that sex thing where you, apparently, get more sexusl gratification when you choke yourself. David Carradine did the same thing. I just shake my head anyway, lovevthat Ecole cd! Great list.
ReplyDeleteA great selection of songs here! I really like INXS and particularly that song. Oh, and it was John Lennon that called Paul's songs "silly love songs," and the song is kind of a dig back at him. Friends can do that...
ReplyDeleteRighteous Brothers is a favorite! Love all your picks! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list. I almost picked the Foreigner song
ReplyDeleteGreat song choises, Alana, they all brought back some memories, especially Percy Sledge😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead🐾😽💞
ReplyDeleteLoved every one of these- even the INXS one (with great musical background, that I don't recall hearing before). Perfect music to put a smile on our faces.
