To put it simply, music moves people. This blog is a collection of songs to move to, in some fashion or another. Whether it's physical - running, dancing, driving or what have you - or mental, music plays a tremendous role in many peoples' day to day lives. Some of these songs you'll probably have heard. Others will be completely new to you. Others still may be rediscoveries. My hope is to bring you a song each day that is not only enjoyable to listen to, but may also make your day just a little better.
Nick Lowe
"So It Goes"
This is one of my favorite songs, one of many that came up last night in conversation with @gracewitheface. Enjoy, one and all.
“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is one of my favorite songs from the 80s, and I happened to hear it on the radio this morning, so I figured “hey, why not?”
Talking Heads
"Once in a Lifetime"
Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime [New Wave]
Oh David Byrne, you wily scamp.
Elvis Costello
"I'm Not Angry"
Elvis Costello - I’m Not Angry [Punk / New Wave]
If I could meet any musician, living or dead, I’m pretty sure Elvis Costello would be my choice.
Prince
"Take Me With U"
Prince & The Revolution - Take Me with U [New Wave]
Not going to explain this one. If you get it, you get it, if not, well, that’s fine too. Happy Wednesday everyone.
Elvis Costello
"Welcome to the Working Week"
Elvis Costello - Welcome to the Working Week [New Wave / Pub Rock]
Started my new job today. Busy, lots of time standing. It’ll toughen my feet up again though.
The Police - Born in the 50’s [New Wave]
I went out to pick up food for my family earlier tonight and heard seven Police songs on the radio, between four stations, in a 20 minute time period. This wasn’t one of them. (So Lonely, Message In a Bottle, King of Pain, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Every Breath You Take, Roxanne, and Synchronicity II)
Under-rated classic, this is though. Love the rhythm.
