Good Tunes - What I'm Listening to This Month (#1)

I am somewhat of a music junkie.

And, I don't fit any mold.

I am a classically trained vocalist and pianist, but I love a good techno beat.

I can fall asleep listening to Debussy or Cold Play.

I don't care if it is popular (and everyone likes it) or if it is from an obscure artist.

When it comes to music, I am a soul-searcher. I search for how a song moves my emotions and moods; how it communicates - both lyrically, musically, and rhythmically.

So, for those of you out there who love to try new tunes, here is what I've been listening to this month!
  • Geronimo by Sheppard (This is my family's current dance in the living room/ in the car with windows down; hair blowing song!)
  • Riptide by Vance Joy (love the term "Left-Hand Man")
  • Budapest by George Ezra (just makes me happy)
  • Work Song by Hozier (for the true romantic)
  • Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol (an oldie by a goodie)
  • Lay Me Down by Sam Smith (no one can argue, this guy's set of pipes is phenomenal)
  • Glitter in the Air by Pink (I sang this at a recent concert, and it's my current favorite to sing)
  • Sailor Man by Ewert and the Two Dragons (popular Estonian band)
  • Touch the Sky by Hillsong United
  • Prince of Peace by Hillsong United
  • I Surrender All sung by Jadon Lavik
  • Come Thou Fount sung by David Crowder
  • Look How He Lifted Me by Elevation Worship
  • I Believe that Your Love Never Fails by River Valley Church
  • Your Promises by Elevation Worship
  • Wave After Wave by River Valley Church
  • My constant playlist staple - Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay. You can read the poem I wrote about that song by clicking here.
If you are a member of Spotify, these are all available online!  

Happy listening!  Take time to drive this Spring with your window down and sing/dance for the drivers passing you! Don't let such great chances to make life fun pass you by!
