Music to My Ears

In a previous post, I mentioned that I had some new tunes.  I love music, what it represents, and how it makes me feel.  The reality of a complete stranger, from a seemly different world, relating to my unique experiences.  Oh, the joy that music brings. 
So, here’s what I’ve been listening to…
1.) Kandi Koated, Kandi Burruss.  Kandi is one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and she’s about as real as they come.  This album is one of my favorites because there are a variety of songs that range from heartache, to cheating, to being a single mother in search of love.  If you check out her website, here’s a hint: scroll to the bottom of the page and pause the Google Ads.

2.) Mission Bell, Amos Lee.  This album is sweet and mellow, with strong, powerful lyrics.  I stumbled upon Amos Lee while listening to music on Pandora, and after hearing one song I was completely hooked!

3.) Kaleidoscope Heart , Sara Bareilles.  Kaledoscope Heart sums up the entire album. 

4.) Hundred More Years, Francesca Battistelli.  This album reminds me that there is nothing that can ever separate me from the love of God.

5.) God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise, Ray Lamontagne.  Soulful and sultry.  Anyone who is familiar with Ray Lamontagne understands the aesthetics of his music.

6.) Move, Third Day.  Wonderful praise and worship music.

7.) Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj.  My very favorite album!! I'm a HUGE Nicki fan, and I love the album's mix of rap and R & B.


8.) Tonight, Toby Mac.  I bought this album thinking it would be awesome, but unfortunately I'm not all that impressed.  There are literally only 2 out 14 songs that I like.  I didn't realize the songs would be mostly hard rock.  Oh well.

So that completes my music list.  What have you been listening to?

Hello Sunshine


Hello sunshine it's been too long
since I felt your beautiful warmth upon my face
And how much have I missed
'Cause I've been focused on everything wrong
This road just felt so long
I forgot to lift my head to see you

Oh my lovely shining for me
Let my eyes see all the beauty
Oh-oh

Hello sunshine since the moment
That I felt your beautiful warmth
I knew that I'd do anything
To keep this feeling of you
My heart comes alive
Oh who could add a day to this life
By drowning every dark sky

Oh my lovely shining for me
Let my eyes see all the beauty
Oh-oh

Fill my dark skies
Make me see the light
Life is fine so bring in the sunshine
Oh-oh

Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Let in the sunshine

Another Random Moment

Let me start off by saying that today is an absolutely gorgeous day! The warm weather is sticking around and the sun is out shining again today. This makes for a happy day, although I am drop dead tired! I'm hoping to get to bed early tonight because I have to be at the office very early tomorrow. I have a very important staff meeting in the morning, so I need to be on my game. My body is really having a difficult time adjusting to the time change. It already demands more sleep, so I feel like I'm starting all over again with learning how to control the fatigue. I'm all about spring, but the rain is a different story. I hate rain; thunderstorms (they scare me), mud (gets all over everything), and dark skies (I need sun remember). Not to mention how the rain makes me feel; blah. Now, I love the sound of rain just as much as the next person, but I would prefer it at night (without the thunder and lightning of course), and gone by the morning! That would suit me just fine.

I have terrific news; Nehemiah slept in his room all night long! I had to put the nightlight back in his room, and….I had to be a meany and put the gate up. He was so angry about the gate (he yelled at Miss Cinnamon like it was her fault), but he fell asleep shortly after. He was still asleep when I got up this morning! When I saw his handsome face once he woke up, he was wearing the biggest smile. "I slept in my room all night," was the first thing he said to me. According to Nana, Nehemiah is having an excellent day. See what a good night's rest can do!

----------------------------------

Now onto the thinkpink247 random moment. Have you ever heard a song on the radio that made you turn up your nose because of the lyrics? I love music and you can see from my sidebar that I like a wide variety of sounds. On my way home from the office yesterday, I heard a song about a sponsor. The chic was singing about how her sponsor pays her rent and puts money in her bank account and crap like that. Let me say that when I hear the word "sponsor," I think about the people you give money to because they are doing something like running a race for a good cause. When I heard this song, I came up with the image of an old nasty rich guy buying stuff for this girl. I don't even want to know what the girl had to do to keep her sponsor. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but whatever happened to women being empowered all on their own? Would I like to have someone pay my bills, of course (it would make life much easier for sure), but I don't like the idea of being dependent on someone else. Especially not being dependent on some guy who I don't even love. I have always held the theory that I can do whatever needs to be done on my own. It may take me a little longer and it may wear me out, but in the end I can say that I did it on my own. That's such a good feeling.

There are so many stupid song lyrics, and this sponsor song is definitely going on the list!
