Songs I Love to Listen to or Sing along with...

Blogging Circle of Friends: DAY 3421 July 2, 2022

Music: 💙 Carly-wrimo 2024 mentioned she likes to sing to lift her spirits. What song lifts your spirits? Do you play the song or do you just sing it yourself?

I will make up my own words or belt out songs with the radio (in my car or at home).

The one song that always used to make me smile... when I was frustrated by my (now ex) husband.
You are my Sunshine.... only I changed the words:

You are my asshole
My only asshole
You frustrate me
Beyond belief.

You are my asshole
My only asshole
Please go take
A flying leap.

These words change at times, but the sentiment is there. It got so I could hum it with him in the room and he had no clue what words I was really thinking!

But other than that... I am open to an eclectic taste in music. As I have gotten older I tended to listen to Contemporary Christian music.... not the gospel stuff - that stuff is a bit much.
The commonality in all these songs... is their lyrics. I love the words, the melody and the harmony.... it just resonates with me and my soul.

Here is a sampling:
Nichole Nordeman's Brave

Lauren Daigle's You Say

Laura Story's Blessings



This one is a favourite these days: Christina Perri - A thousand Years.


You Are The Reason - Leona Lewis & Calum Scott


I love this song - Love Me Like You Do - combined with Pride and Prejudice.... I love this movie.
