Inspired by January #MusicMovesMe

It's Monday and it's time for music!

But first, who are the Music Moves Me Bloggers? 

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.)   We have occasional theme weeks, but you are welcome to ignore the theme and use music of your choice.  Why not join us?  You don't have to sing, or play an instrument.  All music lovers are welcome.  

Our optional theme for this week is: "Learn something about this first month of the new year and build your playlist around that for your music inspiration." 

Here are some facts about January, as discovered by using AI.

January is named after Janus, the two-faced Roman god of beginnings, transitions, and doorways, looking to the past and future. 

The Anglo-Saxons called it Wulfmonath (Wolf Month) because hungry wolves roamed for food. 

In the Northern Hemisphere, where I live, January is considered the coldest month of the year.

So, what songs am I inspired to feature this January Monday?

For beginnings: Chicago and their 1969 hit Beginnings.  


For changes:  Like a Rolling Stone, the 1965 hit from Bob Dylan.  How I loved this song when it came out, especially when one of the New York City radio stations played all six minutes of it. 

Two faces:  Smiling Faces, from 1971 with The Undisputed Truth covering a song by The Temptations. 

Wolf: 1982 brought us Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran. 

Cold:  The Rolling Stones - She's So Cold 

Foreigner - Cold as Ice.
