Music and Song (a need)

The discovery of song and the creation of musical instruments both owed their origin to a human impulse which lies much deeper than conscious intention: the need for rhythm in life… the need is a deep one, transcending thought, and disregarded at our peril. ~Richard Baker





I decided to share some music today. These are songs I listened to multiple times today. Ones that I loved today. How could there ever be life without music? Without a song? It's wonderfully moving and touching even when there are no words, even when the words are not yours. It can bring a smile to your lips or open your soul with laughter. It can pull a tear down your face or force a sob from your body.
Here are a few that move me. So hard to pick a few!
The videos at the bottom are Little Joy that I just discovered and thought the video was well done. And Adele Daydreamer just because I like the song : )!
Please enjoy. Close your eyes and enjoy. ♥em

Em - I can't tell you how this moved me. I am such a music addict it's almost shameful. My husband bought me an iPod Nano for my birthday back in October and I don't think I've had the earbuds out of my ears since then.

My most recent (and recently remembered) love is the Original London Cast recording of Phantom of the Opera. Right now (it's 7:20 AM) I've got an old Depeche Mode album playing in my ears.

It's the BEST!

Thank you for sharing, though I'm going to have to wait until I get home to listen to what you posted because the wonderful IT Gurus at my office have seen fit to block live streaming, music, or anything remotely fun.

Guess I need to consider myself lucky that I can blog at work!

Hope you are well!

OK - I'm at home now and needed to write another LONG comment. I'm sorry. Maybe you should give me your email address to avoid these things on your blog!!! :) (Mine is jshell73ATgmailDOTcom.

I've now listened to the songs you posted on your blog today and let me just say - WOW! (If I could make those capital letters any larger I would!)

Those songs are absolutely right up my alley! I've written them all down and will find them on iTunes the next time I get paid and have some extra $$ floating around! :)

If you like those songs, you may like these:

1) Colors by Amos Lee (My personal fav)

2) On Saturday Afternoons in 1963 by Rickie Lee Jones (aahh...)

3) Come to Jesus by Mindy Smith (very uplifting and wonderful)

4) Cut by Plumb (not uplifting but definitely a very moving song - it's on the Chaotic Resolve album)

5) Anything Toni Childs, but especially House of Hope.

You may or may not have heard of these - maybe some, maybe none...

But if you get a chance to check them out, they come HIGHLY recommended by me.

Not that I have a perfect ear, but I know what I like.

Have a WONDERFUL evening!

Beautiful song choices. "Hallelujah" has been one of my favorites for a long time.
