It's Monday, and it's time for music.
Today I am joining up with other Music Moves Me bloggers (and you can join us at the linky above). We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.)
Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and, last but not least, me.
Every other week we have a theme, and this is one of those weeks. Today, our theme is "The Bikini debited in 1948 this month. Let's celebrate the occasion with song picks about swimwear and/or water fun."
I've traveled to cities and towns in the Finger Lakes region of New York State a number of times, and when I see the sailboats in various of the Finger Lakes, I think "I wonder how I would like being on one." I'm prone to seasickness, but still, there is just something about a sailboat that seems so fun and so peaceful.
Or perhaps it's about the dream of getting on a boat and just escaping all your responsibilities.
So today, I am going to make my theme sailing or songs that have the word "sail" or "sailing" in them. Maybe I'm deviating from the theme today but it's what moves me.
First up - Enya and her 1988 earworm "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)".
Styx and their 1977 hit "Come Sail Away" True, this song is not about sailing, but space travel, but it has the word "sail" in it.
We can't neglect Christopher Cross and "Sailing" from 1980.
Or Crosby, Stills and Nash and "Southern Cross".
Finally, a song more about surviving life's storms, here are the Beach Boys and Sail On Sailor"
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me. I hope it moves you, too.
The one I always think of is Rod Stewart's version of 'Sailing.'
ReplyDelete...the Beach Boys' Sail On Sailor is new for me.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the theme and I love your song choices
ReplyDeleteGreat blog
ReplyDeleteSongs about sailing says summer for sure. In our early years of marriage on occasion, we went out on DH's brother's ski boat. It was great to be on the water and in the sun. The outdoor activity was exhausting fun, often times resulting in sunburns and injury. I was terrible skier. You won't catch me doing that these days but it's nice to reflect on times when I was able to do these things. I loved Christopher Cross and Styx back in the day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for these. Many happy memories there...
ReplyDeleteLove these songs! Come Sail Away is a great song that was often played when I went on this ride called " The Blizzard" it would go around in a circle with some small ups and downs but go faster and faster until I got squished by my friend or vice versa
ReplyDelete"Orinoco Flow" and "Sailing" are the two that I really like here. The rest are OK. Nice selection, anyway!
