My Running Commentary

…pen work and scribbles

Playlist Loves II

I’m moving on to what I call (on my laptop at least) my ‘other’ music. Don’t try to decode. It’s just my word for it. I also warn that I’m a bit of a stick in the mud when it’s this kind of music so you’ll hardly see new stuff with me except it has been ‘recommended’. That said, I now begin.

1)      Anything by Adele

I just got to really listen to her sound a little over a month ago so I guess I’m still in the ‘in-love’ phase where she can do no wrong and I’ll accept crap as long as it’s her. I’ll soon be out of it though. And then, young lady (she’s 23, by the way), you’d better shape up.

2)      Twork it out from Usher’s 8701 album

Do I need to explain this one?

3)      When I see you – Fantasia Barrino

This one just gets me for some reason I can’t explain.

4)      Most things by M.I with the exception of a (very) few

5)      Your Love – Nicki Minaj

Yes, I know, she’s Barbie doll-ish and all that crap but I just enjoy this one.

6)      The Man Who Can’t be Moved – Script

My ex-neighbour, F- , introduced me to this one…on his repeat playlist. I have forgiven him though. *adjusts halo*

7)      I’m yours – Jason Mraz

8)      You are my kind – Seal and Carlos Santana

9)      You gotta be – Des’ree

For those days…

10)   Party rocker anthem and Windeck

Just for danceability.

 

So this is the end of my music tale. I hope you have found it interesting. If not…well. I’m going to start next week by telling a story about bellybuttons. Till then, have a great weekend. J

Playlist Loves I

This is an all-about-my-likes post so if you already have a pretty interesting life yourself, you might want to skip it but if you’d prefer to stay and read it, (afterall, you have come this far. You might as well go all the way.) Let me first say that I am by no means a music connoisseur but I know what I like. And I begin!

I’d like to start with my Christian selection. First, because I listen to them more and second because I want to and this is my post. So there.

1)      Anything from the four albums (so far) of Casting Crowns

I absolutely love, love, love this Christian rock group. I never really thought I was a true rock fan until I heard their sound and their lyrics and their lyrics are simply divine (literally and figuratively).

2)      The Offerings II album of Third Day

This is another rock group I’m simply loving. I have them on repeat a lot along with Casting Crowns. I actually cried the first time I heard Nothing Compares from that album. It was – in a word – awesome.

3)      Faithful to believe – Byron Cage

This is another special. Just love how it’s so upbeat and it really picks me up.

4)      Joyous Salvation album by Joann Rosario

And my personal favourite is Restore to Me. I love this one for the same reason – very upbeat.

5)      The two albums by Sinach

Inspiring and uplifting. Something in the lines of Cece Winans. Beautiful stuff.

6)      Eledumare – KORE

7)      Don’t Leave Me – Dietrich Haddon

8)      Dawolemi (Not sure about who sang this one)

9)      Pour My Love on You, Let My Words Be Few – Craig and Dean Phillips

10)   Greenland album by T.Y.Bello

You will, of course, have noticed I didn’t mention Cece Winans. Not because she didn’t make this list but in fact, because she tops it. It would be really superfluous to mention her when I have ALL her albums. There are a bunch of others I really like but playtimes are few. Please comment and let me know if you agree with the selection and what you like instead if you disagree. Have a lovely day.
