Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me, friends! This week’s theme is whatever music moves you. The National Day Calendar shows today as National Bucket List Day. I don’t do “bucket lists”. That implies I have one foot in grave, but I do like keeping a wish list. I’ve done that before so why not go with…things NOT on my wish (bucket) list?
- Skydiving
- Rock climbing
- Driving a fast car
- Downhill skiing
- Traveling by airplane
- Sailing across the sea
I came up with a 10-song playlist base on these things you won’t find me wishing to do.
The featured songs I went with are mostly based on the song title. I included track two, Awake by Full Tilt, (The Climber’s Anthem) because of the videography of climbers. I like a good thrill but preferably the kind that doesn’t put me at risk. My playlist is a mix of songs I know and new discoveries. I love challenging myself and I hope you enjoyed the music. Do you have a bucket list? What is one thing, we won’t find on yours?
This is a music link up. Your 4M party hostess are now featured in my right side menu near the top. Every other week we have a suggested music theme to build your song set around and all participants share YouTube or Vimeo videos for our music enthusiasts. Themes aren’t mandatory to gain access to the dance floor but failure to meet the basic guideline (post must contain music) puts your URL in danger of being labeled – NO MUSIC.
Today’s Spark…
The roller-coaster is my life; life is a fast, dizzying game; life is a parachute jump; it’s taking chances, falling over and getting up again; it’s mountaineering; it’s wanting to get to the very top of yourself and feeling angry and dissatisfied when you don’t manage it. ~ Paulo Coelho
Before I forget, let me share my mid-month BOTB results. JHM Jams started off strong in this battle staying in the leading. I began thinking they’d win without a problem but then an amazing thing happened the votes came in for Acoustic Guitars.
Vote recap… Birgit, Ellen, Eugi, Diedre, & Stephen went with Acoustic Guitars and Tom, Lee, Brian, Mimi, John, and Marie went with JHM Jams. The final count 5 to 6 giving JHM Jams a narrow victory in this Battle of the Bands round!
If you enjoyed this as much as I did, I hope you’ll make time to sample more of JHM Jams covers on YT.
Originally when I composed this post I thought my battle ended in a tie and with no clear winner, I thought I’d share one more Oops I Did It Again cover by another band. Anyway I thought I’ go ahead with sharing my discovery. When I first heard it, it sounded a little creepy and then it turned almost comical, but I think that’s the intent of the metal band, Children of Bodom. 🙂
Thanks to everyone who played along. My next BOTB is set for May 1st. I’ll be sharing another chapter from my Maine photo memories with the Wordless Wednesday community. I’ll see you then. 😉 This is CAAC signing off, have a boogietastic day. X💋X💋, Cathy
