Year 4, Day 320

Hello. So today's song is I Do by Colbie Caillat.

Thanks to choir there is a special place in my heart for songs by Colbie. Ever since I had to learn one of her songs and sing it for our pops project I've appreciated her voice. I had never heard of her before that moment. The songs are happy and feel good which helps set the mood for the day while I'm still in the neutral zone. It's working for me right now and hopefully it'll work for you too.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 319

Hey guys. Today I give you Sweet Friend by the Orion Experience.

I've posted a lot of songs by the Orion Experience and for good reason: they're a great band. I love this song the most. I can't explain why. I mean it's a simple song and shorter than the average, but the simplicity is what makes it beautiful. Plus it's right in my range so I can sing along easily. I wont do the full spiel about the band again because I've done it before, so I'll just leave this song for you guys and hope it makes you smile.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 318

Hi. So today's song is Break Up With Him by Old Dominion.

This song falls squarely into the new country genre, meaning that it's a mix of country music with another genre as an undertone. This band formed in Nashville (the apparent heart of country) but oddly enough all the members have a claim to Virginia. So that's why the band is named how it is. Old Dominion is a reference to the Virginia state. The members have a lot of co-writing credits with some pretty big name stars from their early years as a group before they moved on to writing their own stuff. This song was the first released from their album and hit number one for obvious reasons. Hope you like it.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 317

What Up. Today I give you Last Of The Red Hot Fools by The Jitters.

Here's another Canadian band that pretty much ruled the eighties. If you aren't Canadian it's possible you wouldn't know these guys, but props if you do. They were only really a thing for a decade before leaving the music scene, but the were efficient in those ten years. They toured constantly, released two albums and were nominated at the Juno Awards for Most Promising Group of the Year. This is another of those songs from my childhood that is seared into my brain and isn't gonna go away anytime soon. Thanks for that mom and dad. I will admit that I enjoy the song, although the music video (while probably cool in its time) gives me creep vibes now. Listen and watch if you like.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 316

Hey. So today's song is Everybody's Got Somebody But Me by Hunter Hayes featuring Jason Mraz.

I'm excited to finally feature this one because I love it so much. It's a great duet. I mean it doesn't hurt that the song is relate-able for my forever alone ass, but still if you look at it objectively the tune is beautiful. I also have a lot of respect for Hunter Hayes because he seems like an unproblematic celebrity. I've never heard anything bad about him, which is rare for people in our age group. So hooray for unproblematic people and I hope you enjoy the song.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 315

Hello. So today's song is My Window Faces The South by Brad Paisley and Asleep At The Wheel.

This is one of those songs that is sung by everyone and their moms so you can find a ton of different versions. It's not quite at Christmas covers level, but it's up there. This version is the one I always had saved to show you, but in the time that I found it and am posting it, I've had to relink it several times. I guess the copyright is strong with this one. So fair warning that there is a possibility that the link will die after only one day. I mean I expect things like that which is why I always write out the title and artist so if the link craps out you guys can go look it up yourselves. I try and keep an eye on them though. Let's just all send good vibes and hope that this one stays live for awhile.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 314

Hiya. So today's song is All About The Girl by Jordan McIntosh.

Alright we're barely into the new year, but I just woke up so I'm going to write this out and not have to worry about it for the rest of the day. I'm trying to set the mood for this next year with the first song (while still finishing the country set list I've got going on.) It's upbeat and feel good so it's the song for today in hopes that I can keep my year upbeat too. Wish me luck.

Peace.
