30 Days of Music - Week 5

Last week of my month of music
I had good fun doing this and hope you enjoy my picks!

A Song That Reminds You Of The Most Important Event In Your Life....

Creed Arms Wide Open
Paul played this song alot while I was pregnant
I began to really love it and the lyrics where beautiful
We would sing along and our little boy would kick along!
When Oisin was born and the midwife left us
Paul and I sang the lyric
"Welcome to place, We will show love, we will show you everything"
It was the most beautiful moment and this song will forever
be the song of the birth of our little boy

A Song That Helps Clear Your Head.....

Josh Groban You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)

I lost myself for a while when my brother passed away

I didn't listen to music and my life became quite silent

I think Paul knew that because he came home from work one day

with one of my favourite artist Josh Groban new album at that time

Later I plugged in my headphones and listened the first song that came on

was this one, the lyrics, his voice it was like a message that it was going to be okay

So whenever life gets to much or I need to clear my head I go back to this song

A Song That's A Cover....

Kate Bush Rocket Man

I don't normally like cover songs

I like no one can compare to the originals so I don't really listen to covers

but I do love Kate Bush's version on Rocket Man

She makes it a different reggae/celtic version as only she can

I often have this playing loud while I do house work

A Song That Makes You Turn Up The Radio.....

 Guns & Roses Sweet Child Of Mine

From the first few cords of the song

the volume always gets turned up!

And of course the dancing from me and Oisin starts!

A Song With My Name In.....

Cat Stephens Sad Lisa

There isn't much songs with the name Lisa in it

My Dad when I was younger would sing Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole to me

But I never really heard another song with my name in it till

I started to work at my local music store in my teens

We were aloud to pick what music was played over the speakers in the store

One day this song came on and I really like it

A Song That Holds Extra Special Meaning To You...

Sarah Brightman & Steve Barton All I Ask Of You

When I discovered The Phantom of the Opera back when I was 13

My little teenage dream was someone would sing this beautiful song to me and mean it

It's such a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics and Sarah Brightman's soaring soprano voice

Years later I met Paul some years after that he brought me to London to see the show

We heard this song live he became our song. When he proposed in Vegas this song was playing

over the Venetian hotel, we went to see the show that night in Vegas.

When we got married it was this song I walked up the aisle to, its on our wedding DVD

So the little 13 year old version of myself got her wish!

A Song That Has An Awesome Music Video...

Kate Bush Hounds Of Love

While I love Kate's other video masterpiece Cloudbusting

It's this video and song I find fascinating 

A song about being afraid of love and it's pitfalls 

I love Kate's vocals on this song

The video its settling is the 1950's it's costumes, and direction make it

look like a mini movie. As Kate makes a chase for her man in the end of course

she gets him....no one can fight the charms of Ms Bush for long!

Song You Would Like Played At Your Funeral...

Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli Time To Say Goodbye

A beautiful song which I think the lyrics do the talking!
