"Let It Be" by The Beatles
What's your favorite song about letting go?
I thought of this song tonight because I was a little frustrated. Angry with the state of the world. A sort of victimhood sort of crept into my being and I didn't know what to do with that feeling.
I'm going to disconnect and just listen to the message of this song.
"Dancing With Myself (EP Version)" by Billy Idol & Generation X
What song makes you want to dance alone in your room?
This and White Wedding are the only songs that I know from Billy Idol.
Honestly, I should just dance more often and as the saying goes dance like no one is watching.
"Lucky" by Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat
Share a song that captures the feeling of being understood.
I feel that a lot of songs about understanding are about being _mis_understood. I like this one because it talks about the joy of having someone who understands you.
"Get the Party Started" by P!nk
What’s the first song you’d play at a party?
My first instinct is the play Let's get this party started by the black eyed peas, but I feel that it's probably a song that you want to save for later in the party. This one has the same message and is big hit.
"Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder
What's a song you associate with your favorite photograph?
I think this is a perfect song for when I look at pictures of my daughters.
"Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles
What's a song you'd want to hear while watching the sunrise?
I think this is a nice way to start the day. Nice, calm, and joyful.
"Roar" by Katy Perry
Share a song that captures the feeling of being brave.
They play this a lot at sports ball games. Katty Perry had a string of hits and now she can be fearless in the studio.
I was going to use Sara Bareilles' Brave but I had already used that.
I took a moment and just admired this tree and sky.
"L-O-V-E" by Nat "King" Cole
What song makes you want to write poetry?
This song reminds me of all the acrostic poems that I would make in elementary (aka primary) school when I was younger. The teacher would all have us do Mom and Dad. I took for granted that I was lucky to have them both.
"Love Don't Cost a Thing" by Jennifer Lopez
What song do you associate with the current season?
We're getting real close to Valentine's Day. I still need to go out and get a gift!
