"Careless Whisper" by George Michael
Share a song you call something other than its official title. What do you call it?
I thought this song was called "Never gonna dance again". Maybe that's why I had trouble finding it for my music collection. My favorite part of trivia about the song was that the saxophonist didn't believe that they could make it the way that George Michael wanted.
"Crazy" by Seal
What song has the same vibe as your favorite book? Which book?
I can't think of what my favorite book is at the moment, but I'm currently reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I think this song goes hand in hand with the things that happen in the book.
"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head (Rerecorded)" by B.J. Thomas
Post one of your favorite songs about rain.
I think about this as we move closer and closer to having a rain storm.
"Another Day in Paradise (2016 Remastered)" by Phil Collins
What song makes you feel like you're in a dream?
I sometimes feel like this is the song for people who say that they "don't want to get political". I guess that's one of those things that happen when you have the privilege of things working out for you.
Why does it make me feel like I'm in a dream? It's the fact that I feel powerless sometimes. I think of it as if it were nightmare or bad movie. I can do something and I am called to action. I just wish more people were equally as motivated.
"Jolene" by Dolly Parton
The Dolly Parton song that means the most to you.
I like this song because I heard it performed on the first season of the American version of The Voice by Vicci Martinez. I honestly thought she was going to win. That season allowed the contestants to perform their own songs on the show.
I enjoy talking about the subject of the song as well. I emphasize to my children that if someone is in this kind of situation, then Jolene is not the main problem.
"Cinderella" by Remi Wolf
I’ve been meaning to bring up this song. FutureBird was talking about how funk is making a come back. Some would say it never left, I feel that in light of all the algorithmically generated music, people are appreciating what a band can do.
"Walkin' On the Sun" by Smash Mouth
What would you put on for a long brisk walk?
A song not exactly about walking. I remember Smash Mouth as being one of those bands that had the special something that made you notice them.
"Eins, Zwei, Drei" by LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER
What’s a great song where the lyrics include counting ‘1, 2, 3, 4’?
I don’t remember how this came onto my radar. I was looking for the perfect prompt and it came up.
It reminds me of luff balloons and da, da, da.
Plus the name of the group is perfect for the times we live in.
"Another Sad Love Song" by Toni Braxton
Post one of your favorite sad songs.
I really like Toni Braxton. I wish there were more singers in this register.
"Fell In Love With a Boy" by Joss Stone
Share a song you discovered via another artist's song (cover, sample, featured artist, etc)
For me, I think Jose Stone is one of those artists that should have more success. She has a wonderful voice that I don’t hear enough of on the radio.
