Music Share Time

Okay...I'm seriously having Candy Overload and still trying to recover from all the Halloween fun last night.

And, with a big day ahead (a pageant dress fitting this afternoon and high school football game tonight)... I thought I would shift gears a little bit and share four songs that are totally making me happy this Thursday morning!

And be warned ahead of time...there is major EYE CANDY in all of these (since we've had enough of the regular kind)!

First off, I love this new song by Matchbox Twenty. Great anthem, and yeah, yummy!!! ("You're welcome!")



Next is my current favorite country song. It embodies everything that's good about country music...yep, it puts a little tear in your eye.



And then I LOVE this song, "Apologize."A new band to me, but love the sound and the looks of it. It just makes me totally happy...



And then when I first heard that last song I thought to myself, "George Michael would have so sung that back in the 90s." Which made me think of this song, which I still think is one of the most perfectly balanced compositions to ever hit the Top 40 airwaves. And, hey, "America's Top Model" has nothing on the supermodels appearing here...



I LOVE music of all kinds. On any given day, I will listen to Top 40 Pop, Old 80s rock, Contemporary Christian, Jazz, Country, Showtunes, Old Punk or New Age, Mellow 70s stuff, even some Hip Hop. Music just makes me happy, and I absolutely love to discover new music.

So, what are you listening to these days? Recommend what you're lovin' so I can go check it out if I've missed it. (One thing I love about the Internet is you can find music fast!)

And, yes, you can thank me for making you have George Michael in your head all day long...

Oh niiiice, we have candy overload and now you are trying to ply us with video and music overload. I could get drunk on this or worse yet - dizzy with dancing.
Lol at Gary being 16 last week. If that is true then I was a pumpkin yesterday. Ummmm hold up!!! ...... ;-)

~Nancy~ said...

Mz.Elle said...

LOL,I'm totally thinking of George Michael!

I'm really enjoying BuckCherry and Richard (or Dick) Cheese. He takes contemporary songs and redoes them with a lounge act sound,too much fun!

Monogram Queen said...

I can't even think of my favorite song right now..... I am in a Christmas mood. What's my favorite Christmas song you ask? Traditional- "O Holy Night"
Fun-"I want a hippopotamus for christmas".

Kingc--Yep, drunk from candy is about right!! I've eaten too much chocolate today already!! And I don't think I really need to know Gary as a 16-year-old. he would have been too dangerous for me!!

Nancy--I love Avril's new songs. Good choice!!

Kathy--I knew YOU would love that choice!!you'll have to let me know if the whole CD is that good!

Greta--The big hair worked for me too! I loved Guns n Roses the best!

Patti--Oh boy. Now you've got me humming Christmas songs!!!

Mississippi Songbird said...

Thank you, Thank you,Thank you..Bunhces of hugs...lol

Adriann said...

The video direction on Apologize is AWESOME!!! Lately, I've been listenting to mix of Michael Franks, Jill Scott and the Spinners. All three are at in different directions musically, but like you, I listen to all types of music.

Bella said...

Cheryl, you have GREAT taste in music! I LOVE MB20 (and their new song). Rob Thomas is HOT!

:) Bella

Mandy said...

I have a very wide range of faves...right now I'm listening to Little Big Town, my Phantom of the Opera soundtrack (since we just saw the show in Bham), Josh Groban's new Christmas album and some old Eagles songs (I haven't bought the new CD yet).

Also, I just had to get a Roll Tide in before the weekend. I cannot wait. We are going to the pep rally tomorrow night and the game on Saturday. I sure hope we win!

Katrin said...

The video of Apologize is beautiful. On the other hand, I don't really feel "happy" after listening to it... :) I might make a friend of mine listen to this song, maybe then she'll finally see that she should get over her ex! I guess you know, what kind of songs I listen to right now.

Cinderella said...

That 'Don't Blink' song is soooo true. It makes me sad everytime I hear it.

My music selections depend on my mood. I do however, loveee all different types of music. I don't discriminate. :)

Oh my, I am a music JUNKIE! I remember when I was a teenager and I'd get put on punishment/grounded...unlike other teenagers who couldn't talk on the phone, watch TV or go out. My punishment was no radio. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment!!! SHEESH!!! I considered running away one time...I couldn't have my radio for 2 weeks! That's 2 WHOLE weeks mind you...14 WHOLE days! It's a miracle that I'm still alive today, LOL.
