There’s Plenty of Music Waiting for You on the Dance Floor

Awww Mondays

It’s a brand new month.  I decided to make some changes with Monday’s Music Moves Me format at least for October.  It remains to be seen if these will become permanent down the line.  The first thing you probably picked up on is my time slot.  Yesterday, I provided the link up for the early party goers and turned off comments with no music with the hopes to get folks back today. Another thing is, there won’t be an honorary co-host for this month. Over the summer, I requested theme suggestions and mentioned credit will be given to the blogger for his/her contribution.    

This week’s theme is offered from Sandee from Comedy-Plus “Bounty”She didn’t elaborate but mentioned October is the month of bounty which got the ole gears turning.  Soon other words popped inside my head plentiful, blessings, harvest,… so don’t restrict yourself, get creative! Find ways to expand the prompt.  You’re not limited to song titles. Song lyrics and artist/band names are options to consider. Whatever you do, just have fun with it! 

I try to put my own spin on the theme. I was convinced I’d find plenty of “bounty” song titles but there weren’t so my song harvest came up short. I got hits with “bounty” in song lyrics and for musicians/bands. In my first song pick, I thought I found the latter but it turns out what I was reading is the name of a video game. The female vocalist, Alina Gingertail, below singing “Greflet’s Song” is from the video game King’s Bounty II.

I like ‘plentiful’. It looks a bit challenging. When I searched YouTube, I got song titles with ‘plenty’. I was very intrigued when Leonard Cohen came up. His voice is a bit creepy at times, so I was very surprised that I liked “The Land of Plenty”

Continuing on this path of ‘plenty’ I pulled together a short playlist of all new-to-me tunes.

Song tracks 1: Bruce Smeaton “Music from Plenty” 2. Steve Winwood ft. Des’ree “Plenty of Lovin'” 3. James Newton Hoard “Horn of Plenty” from the Hunger Games 4. Anita Baker “Plenty of Room” 5. Tenement Halls “Plenty is Never Enough”

Songs of harvest has been used in the past and I was sure to not find anything new when I spotted Nightwish. I featured this Finnish band on CAAC a few times over the years and I always enjoy listening to them when I stumble on their music. Here they are with “Harvest”.

Okie dokie, that’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed my song picks. Remember this a music party and if you have it to share feel free to join us on the dance floor. 😉


Update…..I apologize to everyone who signed up but I was messing around at LinkyTools and accidentally deleted the code. *bad head on table* Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to reconstruct it because of DS’s wedding this weekend.  Please add your URL in comments for others to find you.  I’m really sorry for the screw up! 

This is a music linky party.  Your co-hostess are StacyAlana, and Me.   Every other week we have a suggested music theme (see weekly prompts here) to build your song set around and all participants share YouTube or Vimeo videos for our music enthusiasts.  Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.
