"Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior
What’s the last song you discovered and loved instantly?
I've already mentioned a couple during other prompts, but this one needs a moment to shine. This song was originally on the groups demo track and was strong enough that they got a record deal. I know they have at least two albums but I only remember this song.
There's a really good remake of it in the first Trolls movie that I prefer a little more because they add other songs in the mix.
"Candy Rain" by Soul for Real
What’s a lyric that resonates deeply with you and why?
The song starts off incredibly strong and I find myself singing it every once in a while.
My love, do you ever dream of Candy-coated raindrops? You're the same, my candy rain
My family tends to tease me about the fact that it's a love song that heavily features a 15 year old boy. Hey! We should be so lucky as to find love!
"It's the Hard-Knock Life" by Andrea McArdle & The Orphans from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of "Annie"
If your life were a movie, what would its theme song be?
Based on current events.
Part of me knows I should be grateful that it's not worse. It's just hard to have so many obstacles in life.
"My Little Pony Theme Song (Extended Version)" by Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack & My Little Pony
A song from a genre you didn’t think you’d like—what changed?
I didn't think that I would like the music that my children listened to when they were small. Now, I like to sprinkle the soundtrack in a playlist when I know that the girls are going to be listening.
I was in a car collision. The whole family is banged up and it just sucks all around.
I’m just thankful to be alive.
"Bounce" by Emotional Oranges
How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?
I usually find music from tv and movies. Sometimes, I even find it on the radio. The best recommendations are from family and I found this one to be very soothing.
"Human Nature" by Michael Jackson
What song makes you feel connected to nature?
If they say why? (Why?) Why? (Why?) Tell 'em that it's human nature
There's something about the way that Michael just does the various runs during the song. I feel that it just lulls me into a peaceful mood.
"Waiting for a Girl Like You" by Foreigner
Share a song that perfectly captures anticipation.
Right now, I'm waiting for my family to get ready so that I can take them somewhere. We were supposed to leave an hour ago.
"Bitch" by Meredith Brooks
What's a song you associate with your favorite person?
There are so many aspects of a person that goes into being a whole human being. Sometimes you have to assert yourself and others might not like that.
Classic song and I think it really shows the positives of the b word.
"Midnight Train to Georgia (Single Version)" by Gladys Knight & The Pips
What is a song that feels like home to you?
I think of this song when I'm going to my parents. They would have a lot of music playing and this was one of them that I remember. Although it wasn't in regular rotation, it was notable in the way that there was a sort of call and response and the way that Gladys' voice just commanded attention.
