I didn’t watch the Grammy’s last night but I managed to keep up with the awards online.  I was very happy for Lorde and Daft Punk.  In fact I was planning to post Daft Punk’s performance of Get Lucky from the show.  Hey, the beat just gets under your skin and you find yourself caughtContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 27-Cop Car”

We sang a new song at church today.  

Speaking of Zedd.  This is a song that’s been around for a while.  Not sure why I didn’t share it sooner because I really like it.  I like singing along when it comes on the radio.  I don’t necessarily hit the high notes as well as Foxes, but that’s never stopped me before…  Just beContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 25-Clarity”

My niece got me hooked on Young Adult Literature.  Think Twilight, Hunger Games.  Of course I mention those because they’re the most popular, but, interestingly, I’ve not read either series.  I watched the movies when they came out and loved the soundtracks.  I discovered all sorts of artists from those soundtracks and I even sharedContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 24-Find You”

Ok, so here’s how I came by today’s song.  It started with an article I read about Pitbull’s song “We are One” being selected as the official song for the 2014 World Cup Soccer tournament which kicks off June 12.  The article went on and talked about the song being released late last year, sungContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 23-The World Is Ours”

Was looking back at my list from 2012 and realizing I only posted one song from this group… and it wasn’t even one of their “hits.”  My great-niece, Kyla, was playing one of their songs, Radioactive, every time I was around her.  I think it was because I heard it so much, I didn’t wantContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 22-Demons”

Thought I would provide a brief update on my dad.  Thank you for your prayers.  He’s coming home this Friday.  He still has some mobility issues, but he’s actually getting around much better than expected.  I’m not sure what all the doctors have said, but he’ll have some physical therapy and a visiting nurse whoContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 21-Giving Tree”

Another song from Lorde.  I find myself humming it over and over.   

I love hearing old hymns that have been set to new music.  Ancient texts have been given new life it would seem and a new audience that hears the wonderful words in a modern musical context.  This is one of those songs.  

This is another song that I should have posted on last year.  It’s just fun to listen to.  It hooks you and doesn’t let go until the very end.  I heard it earlier today and want to make sure it’s included in this year’s set.  Now that it’s posted, I’m going to bed.
