Summer is ending, time to get back to school

Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee from Comedy Plus.

Howdy-hi, folks! I hope all of my bloggy friends in the path of Ida are safe today. We watched a little of the storm coverage as it made landfall in Louisiana yesterday. Not a lot was going on at that time and I hope this hurricane isn’t too destructive. Okay, it’s Monday and it’s the last one for August. Wasn’t it just yesterday we saw the beginning of the month roll in? It sure feels like it and now we’re less than 48 hours away from the start of September. Time ain’t gonna wait for no man, so let’s not waste another second by getting this week’s Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me party going. Alana’s last theme for the month is songs about school or the end of summer, pick or mix. You decide!

I couldn’t decide or plain didn’t want to so I’m bringing to you a mix of songs covering both themes with my Summer’s End/Back2School playlist. Hit play to enjoy the tunes!

Summer’s End/Back2School Playlist: 1. Summertime Sadness ~Harddope & Lunis 2. Summer Love ~One Direction 3. Summer’s Almost Gone ~The Doors 4. Summer’s End ~Foo Fighters 5. Summer’s End (John Prine Cover) ~Brandi Carlile 6. Summer Love ~Donald Byrd & The Blackbyrds(1974) 7. Don’t Stand So Close To Me ~The Police 8. Mutha (Don’t want to go to school today) ~Extreme 9. Teach Your Children ~Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 10. Cool Kids ~Echosmith

What songs do you associate with from your youth as ‘end of summer’ or ‘back to school’? How about now, do you have new songs linked to these points in time or is your mind still hooked on past songs?

This month’s honorary co-hostess is Alana from Ramblin with AM

This is a mewsic linky party. Every other week we have a suggested mewsic theme (see side menu) to build your song set around and all participants share YouTube or Vimeo videos for our mewsic enthusiasts. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.

Not only is the end of summer in sight, so is my summer blogging routine. You’ll find me back on Wednesday with September 1st Battle of the Bands, so please stop in to cast your vote for your favorite cover artist! That’s a wrap for now. Have a boogietastic week! XX, Cathy

Summer’s Ending

CAAC — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 10:00:30 +0000

Summer fun memory from 1992 for Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee from Comedy Plus.

Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me! This week’s theme is songs about the end of summer. Living in the south, but thankfully not the deep south, we still have more summer days to go. With the heat and humidity feeling pretty intolerable for a month or more, I for one, am looking forward to the end of summer that is until winter’s frigid chill bites my fingers and toes. Join me now for an all new-to-me song collection and I hope you enjoy the tunes!

I pulled my Summer’s ending song picks from this thread discussion to build today’s playlist which includes these titles:

SUMMER’S END ~ John Prine
THE END OF THE SUMMER ~Frank Black
SUMMER’S END ~ Foo Fighters
LONG HOT SUMMER ~ Girls Aloud
END OF THE SUMMER ~ Dar Williams

This month’s co-hostess is Stacy Uncorked

DISCLOSURE…this is a mewsic linky party, which means all participates are sharing songs that one can listen to from YouTube or Vimeo and a not a post about mewsic or mewsicians. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.

Before I leave you, I want to pass to you a new calendar page creation for the upcoming month. Feel free to download (button on toolbar above calendar) a copy for yourself.

A special thanks to Stacy for pulling together some awesome mewsic themes for August. Next time, we meet on the dance floor it’ll be a new month with a new honorary co-hostess, little ole me! I’ll be back tomorrow for my September 1st edition of Battle of the Bands, so please pop over to cast your vote. Here’s to a boogietastic day, my friends! XX, Cathy

#FooFighters ‘February Stars’ & a new-to-me YT #songs playlist

CAAC — Sun, 24 Feb 2019 05:00:30 +0000

Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee at Comedy Plus

The second month of the new year coming to a close, Kittens & Dawgs as this is the last week of February. The good mews is spring is drawer closer and if you’re like me then you’re more than ready for it.

I’m glad you stopped by to boogie this morning and hope that your weekend was relaxing. This is a no theme week, so it’s ‘your choice‘ song picks. Be prepared to go where the mewsic takes you, as my selections are totally random. Are you ready to groove to some mewsic?

Missing U released as a lead single last August from Swedish singer/songwriter Robyn’s album, Honey, and is her first solo in eight years. The song made the US Hot Dance chart at #18.

Limitless is from JLo’s romantic comedy film soundtrack, Second Act, (debuted in theaters this past Dec. 21st). Jennifer premiered the Sia-penned song on the American Music Awards last year, the single released the following month. No billboard chart info at this time.

This Time Around is taken from L.A. indie singer/songwriter, Jessica Pratt, 2019 Quiet Signs album. The song has a surreal melody that casts a mellow mood over the listener.

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon the Madeline Kenny song Bad Idea. According to one source they described as Kenny’s signature murky dreamscape style. It has a weird essence about it for sure and it’s from her sophomore album Perfect Shapes which incidentally is named from the feature track. The indie artist has a different resonance, unlike my usual mewsic preference.

When I’m With Him (Empress Of) released last August. It sounds a bit familiar but I’m not sure why. This song did make the cut for Billboard’s 100 Best Songs of 2018: Critics’ Picks at #72. Maybe, I heard it on the radio or on someone’s blog but the pop song has the potential of being a hit even though it hasn’t charted yet.

High Horse (Kacey Musgraves) is a song I definitely remember hearing and I believe it wasn’t too long ago that Stacy shared the tune on her blog. Musgrave hit the Top 100 at #21 last April with this ditty. Another Musgraves title, a less produced song I stumbled across that caught my ear is Somewhere Only We Know.

R&B singer/songwriter Kali Uchis debuted the mewsic industry in 2012. Feel Like A Foo is from her April 2018 album, Isolation. While the song hasn’t appeared on the charts it did make Billboard’s 50 Best Albums of 2018: Critics’ Picks at #16. I’m not sure what this means when an artist or a song that makes Billboard’s lists but I guess time will tell if it does well in commercial sales.

Please join XmasDolly (4M Brain Child) and my fellow 4M Co-hostesses Stacy, Alana, & Colette on the dance floor.

This is a MEWSIC ONLY linky party. All non-mewsic posts are subjected for removal or labeled – NO MEWSIC

Next time we meet, it’ll be a brand new month with a brand new honorary co-host. Patrick from Adventures in Weseland first theme choice is ‘‘How Mewsic Educates Us’‘. Get those thinking caps on and have fun with it! I’m boogieing over to see you soon. Have a sparkletastic day!

XX, Cathy

To My Children, I love you!

CAAC — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 04:00:33 +0000

Thank you for joining me on the dance floor this morning, Kittens & Dawgs! Are y’all doing the A2Z Challenge next month? I am and if you’re looking for my theme reveal today, it is HERE. Alrighty it’s to crank up the volume. This is “freebie” week, so the theme is your choice. Sometime last year, someone came up with the weekly prompt of using song titles featuring female or male names. I created a post using my children’s names for inspiration and for some reason it just stayed in “drafts” and since I’m on a time crunch to get my A2Z posts done being the genius that I am decided to put it in cue. Although my song choices (all new-to-me) are written from non-motherly perspective I found a phrase in each that spoke to me and so I dedicate this morning’s mewsic to: Brittany, Nicole, and Austin – I love you!

Everybody’s heart breaks, everybody falls down
Sticks and stones baby won’t break your bones
You think you’re on your own
Well Brittany, you’re not alone

Oh, Nicole
My sweet Nicole
Oh, Nicole
Sweet, sweet Nicole

If your callin’ ’bout the car I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I’m bowlin’
If you’ve got somethin’ to sell your wastin’ your time, I’m not buyin’
If it’s anybody else wait for the tone you know what to do
And P.S. if this is Austin I still love you

I never had trouble expressing how I felt about my children and told them often but you can’t say “I love you” enough. This little tender diddy is so sweet and so, I’ll have to say I LOVE YOU in a song, my dear children!

Please join my fellow co-hosts: XmasDolly, Stacy, & usually Colette helps out but she’s on blog leave tending to health issues. Continue to keep her in prayer. Meanwhile, we have our fabulous friend, Michelle, returning as co-host. It’s great having you onboard! Now, step out on the dance floor with the 4M gang, just link your mewsic post below.

I invite you to plug-in with the “Sparks” community hosted by good pal, Annie at McGuffy’s Reader where you can energize your soul and make the world a little better with sparks of encouragement. Let’s make the world a better place, one person at a time beginning with #1!

Did you vote in my latest BoTB? If not, then you’re cordinally invited to cast yours, HERE! Thanks for joining in on the fun today, I’ll leave you with one more song for my DSIL because I love him, too!
