A Song From My Childhood - Day 29

Believe it or not, when I was little all we ever really listened to was my dad's kind of music. You know, like The Association, The Beatles, The Tokens, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash... all those kinds of singers and groups.

However, we also got into folk music when I was around 7 or 8, so we also listened to a bunch - and I mean a BUNCH - of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.

So, a song I remember quite fondly from my childhood would be this one, sung by Tommy Makem and accompanied by Liam Clancy.

Tomorrow is the last day for this contest. I can't even begin to describe how AWESOME that is.

Until tomorrow, hope you enjoyed this post. :)

God bless!

A Song That Makes Me Feel Guilty - Day 28

Okay, I'll admit it here and now.

I have a terrible addiction to Iron Man. Mainly the first movie, but I admit to liking all three. I really LOVE Iron Man.

I love the suit, I love his character arc, I love all the unexpected traits that come out through the course of the movies that show him to be a more vulnerable person than he pretends to be. And all the unexpected things he does that show he's also a much less selfish person than he pretends to be.

So I give you one of the songs from the Iron Man 1 soundtrack (yes, I own it), which is something I'll listen to when I'm driving, or feeling in a rage, or have a need to vent.

There you go. A Song That Makes Me Feel Guilty. Done.

I'm going to be so glad when this challenge is over, you guys. ;) I'm getting brain-sore from posting so much. :P

Ta!

God bless.

A Song That I Wish I Could Play - Day 27

This was a hard one, since I was waffling between songs I'd like to be able to play on the piano, and songs I'd like to play AND sing at the same time. :)

LAAAAAAAAAAAALAAAAAAAAAAALAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I decided I wanted to post a song I wish I could play and sing to. And since it's only two months until Christmas, I'm posting this very lovely song by Hayley Westenra.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

HAYLEY WESTENRA

Coloured lights upon the tree
Rocking horse and snow fairy.

Gathered 'round the fire at night
Carols sung by candlelight.

Watch the snowflakes touch the ground
Falling softly on the town

Frosted windows in the morn
Woolly jumpers newly worn.

Friends and Family pass around
Presents brought from out of town.
Listen to the joyful sound of morning.

Trinkets hung upon the tree
Candy canes so sugary.
Waiting for the house to wake at dawning.

Tinsel hung from wall to wall
Mistletoe upon the door.

Mugs of cocoa, steaming hot.
Eggnog ladled from the pot.

Friends and Family pass around
Presents brought from out of town.

Listen to the joyful sounds
Of morning.

Trinkets hung upon the tree.
Candy canes so sugary.

Waiting for the house to wake
At dawning.

That's all I've got. Until next time, God bless.

Merry Christmas. ;)
