Music Monday - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

This is the last Music Monday in my Year of Love and what a wonderful year it has been.

It truly is a wonderful world when you choose to see it that way. Be grateful for all that you have and for all that you are because if you dream it, you can be it.

Music Monday - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

This is my favorite Christmas song! It's cheerful and fun.

Music Monday - Merry Christmas from the Family

I am something of a Scrooge at Christmas time so here's a funny song to try to get me in a jolly mood. Note: This is not for you. This is for me!

Bah Humbug!

Music Monday - Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer

It's the second Monday after Thanksgiving, the first Monday in December and I'm sure you have already been inundated with Christmas decorations, music and more. I have exactly 3 Monday's until Christmas so I guess I'll jump on the band wagon. And maybe, just maybe, it will help me get my Bah-humbug-self in the mood for some Christmas cheer! Hey Rudolph! That's my favorite part of this song. :)

Music Monday - Just A Kiss

XOX

Music Monday - Family Portrait

I'm a big P!nk fan and could have picked a number of her songs but I love this. It has so much of her soul in it. I love that not only does she have the showmanship that it takes today to put on a concert but that she has the voice to back it up.

Music Monday - Remind Me

I still can't get enough of you. Even on day 154. Or 5 months. I never want to lose this feeling. I'm so happy. So, promise to remind me.

Music Monday - So Pure

I always liked this song but I fell in love with the video.

I broke the country cycle. But, it probably won't last long.

Music Monday - Take a Back Road

5 weeks of country music...

Happy Birthday, Drew! I can't believe 11 years has gone by since I held you in the blue light of the cloud lamp in your first bedroom. You were such a sweet baby and you've grown into being such a sweet boy.

Music Monday - Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not

I love the phrase "Shut up and kiss me" which is not in this song but I still love it. The End. Now enjoy the song.

Music Monday - Don't You Wanna Stay

Yes, I do wanna stay.

Music Monday - Crazy Girl

:)

Music Monday - Honey Bee

I am on a serious country kick lately which I love since I grew up loving country music.

Music Monday - Home

I love this song because it embodies how it should feel to be in love. It doesn't matter where we are as long as we are with our loved ones.

Music Monday - Here for A Good Time

I am loving this song. It makes me happy because one time, when I was riding in the front passenger seat, the two teenagers in the back were singing along with the radio and it was pure greatness. :)

Music Monday - New York

This video was shot four days prior to the WTC attacks. The song is actually about a difficult relationship that happened in New York but after 9/11 the meaning of the song, for listeners, came to mean something different. New Yorkers love their city. I won't ramble but I do see a painting in my future influenced from this video.

Music Monday - And She Was

Just a fun song and it reminds me of when I was younger and always dreamed of being able to float above the world. I could fly in my dreams. I haven't had a flying dream in a long time. What does it mean?

Music Monday - Lover Lay Down

Dave Matthews Band has been a favorite of mine for a long time. So many instruments and elements to their music. I've seen Dave Matthews in concert a few times but my favorite time was when he was with Tim Reynolds. It was hard to choose just one song but I love the music in this one.

Music Monday - Wave on Wave

I'm just looking for a happy ending. I forget how much I like this song.


I was going to marry Pat Green until I found out that he was already married.

Music Monday - Jimmy Buffett

Two weeks in a row of having to pick just one song from an artist I love. I have a dream of going to some beach resort and just happening to meet Jimmy Buffett. We'll strike up a conversation and talk about the philosphy of life and we'll become fast friends and I'll design an album cover for him.

It could happen.

There are so many good songs to choose from- funny songs, introspective songs, sweet songs... but I chose Knees of My Heart because 2011 is the Year of Love.
