Music Monday -- 101 Faves Love Songs Edition
As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time. To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account. Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme. Enjoy!
Joshua Radin feat. Schuyler Fisk "Paperweight" -- First encountered this song on the Last Kiss soundtrack. Fell in love with Joshua Radin right then. His music is just gorgeous.
Relient K "Be My Escape" -- A slightly odd choice, but I really love the lyrics to this song. Relient K was on heavy rotation in my classroom a few years ago. I always had requests and even got some students singing along. Regular and acoustic versions for your enjoyment (I think I like the acoustic version better...).
Dido "Here with Me" -- One of my absolute favorites. I adore this song so much. Every time I listen, I return to the late 1990s and it makes me feel happy.
Tyler Hilton "I Believe in You" -- A fairly new discovery. Nevertheless, I love Hilton's voice. A couple of different versions for you to enjoy.
Josh Kelley "Two Cups of Coffee" -- The only way to listen to this song is the acoustic version. I saw Josh Kelley sometime around 2005? and he debuted this song as an acoustic version. I immediately fell in love with it. I had to include an acoustic version for you.
Music Monday - Josh Kelley
Josh Kelley (you know the guy married to Katherine Heigl and brother to Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum)... I absolutely adore him, have adored him since his first big album "For the Ride Home" came out in 2003. I don't like every song he has, but I do like the majority of them. That's something for me. I rarely like almost everything an artist puts out. I like how versatile he is. One album is pop, the next is bluegrass, then jazzy, and his newest "Georgia Clay" is country. I love it all. Instead of trying to pick one or two songs, I decided to highlight a couple of favorites. I love all these (and YouTube let me embed these, extra score!). If you like any of this, check out "Georgia Clay" releasing March 22, 2011.
"Hey Katie" - written for guess who
"Home to Me" - just beautiful
"Almost Famous" - definitely in my top 5
"Unfair" - so simplistic, but still awesome
"Scrumptious" - just for fun
