A collection of random new-to-me music...

Since I've finished my 101 Faves series for Music Monday, I thought I would do something complete different. I turned on my iPod, hit shuffle, and recorded my first 5 songs. I'm thinking of making this a monthly feature... This shuffle is mostly older, but much loved songs. Enjoy!

Allison Krauss and Brad Paisley "Whiskey Lullaby"

I recently picked up the new The Civil Wars album. And the first song is just amazing. I had to share it with you today. I love the voice combination of Joy Williams and John Paul White. Just gorgeous!
Lyrics:
I never meant to get us in this deep I never meant for this to mean a thing Oh, I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away
I got caught up by the chase And you got high on every little game I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away
Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing gone without a trace Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away
I miss the way you wanted me When I was staying just out of your reach Begging for the slightest touch Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm
Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing gone without a trace Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away
Got away from me Got away from me Before anybody has to bleed
Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing gone without a trace Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face I wish you were the one I wish you were the one Oh, I wish you were the one I wish you were the one that got away
While sifting through all our music, I came across a ton of songs (over 1000) that I wanted to add to my 101 Favorite Songs list. I had to narrow it down. As part of my narrowing, I decide to delete all covers from the list. But those are some great songs, ones I really love. So, I decided to give them their own series on Music Monday. If you like covers, stay tuned for some good ones. Part I,Part II,Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI.

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.
