Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me on Sunday! It’s the start of the third week of April with half of the month gone. Time sure flies when you’re having fun or too busy to keep track. I’m not sure which one applies to me.
Today is gonna be a double feature post with 4M and BoTB. First things first and that’s to reveal this week’s theme suggested is by our honorary co-host “song where a particular instrument has moved you – whether it’s a favorite vocal sound, bass line, drumming/beats, piano, guitar solo, …’. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with this theme but luckily, AngelsWhisper2011 introduced me to my song pick today last month.
This song moves my entire soul, filling it with a sense of relaxation and happiness. I encourage you to listen to more of Asher Quinn’s mewsic. It’s really quite beautiful.
On behalf of the 4M crew (the first six spots), you’re invited to hit the dance floor! 😘
🎶 This is a mewsic linky party, all other posts are subjected for removal or labeled – NO MUSIC! 🎶

For those new to the Battle of the Bands (#BoTB) showdowns, it is open to anyone with an opinion. You do have one, right? If you said yes, then give voice to yours. All there is to it is listen to two cover artists singing the same song then you just vote (in comments) for your favorite. Simple, right?
If you haven’t figured out from my meme creation, I’m using my A2Z theme for another inspired battle song. One of my favorite songs from The Little Mermaid animated movie is Under the Sea (original not included in battle) performed by Sebastian (Samuel E. Wright).
In today’s showdown, I picked two new-to-me artists both with fun mewsic videos. Close your eyes to listen to the audio to decide which singer you like before you actually watch the video. 😉
The first contender is an American artist known for his cover of popular & classic Disney song, Jonathan Young on YT.
Next up is British born, now an American citizen (2012) singer/actor Alex Boye. In 2017 he was named the ‘2017 Rising Artist of the Year’ sponsored by Pepsi and Hard Rock Cafe. Boye lives in Utah, married, and the father of six with another on the way.
While listening to covers, I found a metal guitarist (instrumental only) that I thought some of my blog mates might like to hear, so for your entertainment only you’re welcome to listen to this version but keep in mind voting is not allowed on this one.
You’ll find more awesome battles underway at some of these blog listed below (not everyone is doing the bi-monthly showdowns) and if you’d like to be included in the fun, then contact Stephen requesting to be added to the list.
✩ai loves music✩ (Amy), Angels Bark (Michele), Cherdo on the Flipside, The Doglady’s Den (Debbie), Jingle Jangle Jungle (Mary), Mike’s Ramblings, STMcC Presents BoTB (Stephen, BoTB Manager), The Sound of One Hand Typing (John), & Tossing It Out (Lee)
**POLLS CLOSE NOON(EST) APRIL 20th!**
Don’t forget to tell me in comments who you like the best, Jonathan or Alex! 😉
