I want to start out by saying I love music! Music is a daily part of my life. I listen to music in the car, at work and I always have a radio playing at home. I have always said my perfect job would be a radio disc jockey, but it doesn't pay well. I would never be able to pin down my favorite genre. I listen to all types of music. Each type of music genre makes me feel differently. Instead of posting a link to a favorite group I thought I would post a link to three of my favorite songs that are different.
The first is A River Flows in You by Yiruma. I was exposed to this song in the movie Twilight and instantly feel in love with it. The simplicity of the music has mesmerized me. I love the rhythm and pitch of the piano. Lay your head back, close your eyes and feel the music...relaxing.

The second one is Knockin by the Carolina Chocolate Drops. They are a group of young black musicians who studied from an older black fiddler, Joe Thompson who handed down musical traditions from generations of musicians that he had learned from. I interpret this music as a jazzy, blues style. This music just makes me happy and feel good. I think its wonderful they want to continue a tradition that is dated back to slavery days. When I first heard Adele's song Rolling in the Deep I instantly thought of this song.

The last one is Put a Spell on you by Natacha Atlas. This is the same song that Bette Mittler did in Hocus Pocus. I find this one more interesting because it is sang in two different languages. I also admire her for the ability to become a famous female singer in the middle east. My dance instructor is a wealth of information and turned me onto this song. We have a dance choreography to this song.

Ok, so I was going to stop at 3 put wanted to put one that my 17 year old son came in and ask if I had heard. I of course said yes, and I love that song. Haven't quite figured out the lyrics yet. I think a class mate I posted on already would enjoy this song also.
