I’d really like to compile a soundtrack describing the every facet of my life. All the different stages of my life; the feelings and emotions I so often find myself experiencing. In the last year or so, I’ve become really picky about what I listen to. There are several aspects to music I like to consider when making the ultimate decision to make them part of my collection. Musicianship. Unique in sound. Quality and tolerance of voice. I say “tolerance” because, while there are many awesome voices out there, many of them will begin to rub me the wrong way if I listen to them for too long or too often. The following, while they are great voices and fun to listen to, tend to get “old” after a while:
While there are others that never bring me to that edge. A few examples are:
– Coldplay
Alright. Shall I make a weak attempt at compiling a list of songs by various artists that best describe many of my emotions, feelings, desires, passions, and everything in between?
“Everybody’s Free” – Quindon Tarver
“True Colors” – Cyndi Lauper
“Clocks” – Coldplay
“More Than Words” – Extreme
“Hey Jude” – Paul McCartney
“Pink Moon” – Nick Drake
“Bye Bye Blackbird” – Joe Cocker
“Bartender” – Dave Matthews Band
“This Is Your Life” – Switchfoot
“White Days” – The Juliana Theory
“Angel” – Gavin Friday
“A Kiss to Build A Dream On” – Louis Armstrong
