Yeah, yeah I know, it's been a minute since I decided to do this Musical Monday thing, and I did it once, then disappeared. But I'm back, and more consistent writing more often so hopefully, I'll be able to get back on somewhat of a schedule. We shall see....we shaaaaaalll see. Anyways, on to the music. Here is my new obsession. His name is Alex Clare, he is amazing. Not only is he a very handsome Ginger, but his voice is just so.....just soooo....swooooooooooooooon. Take a listen and judge for yourself. Here we go....
The last of the songs just melts my soul. This mans voice just makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy too.
So since Monday starts with M and so does music, and I've been wanting to do a music portion on my blog for a while now, I figured I'd kill a couple birds with one bat. Let's face it, I suck at throwing rocks. and I like to his as many things as I can with one swing, so let me introduce you to...
Music Monday.
****clapping and cheering****
Maybe sometime soon I'll be able to come up with some sort of cool little logo for it, but for now, this works. This is where I will share my loooove and sometimes hate for music, it's a complicated relationship, but I'd die without it.
Literally...
Die!!!
Today I would like to share with you one of my first loves. This is one of the first songs that I can remember obsessing over. I was probably six or so, with my grandmas big headphones on, with the stereo cranked to: Dolly Parton - Jolene
I love this song. I love Dolly. Amen!
Then a girl named Mindy Smith came along and redid it. And even though, Miss Dolly herself, was in the video, and I liked the video. I did not approve of the remake of the song itself. At all...
Then, another of my favorite bands did it, and let me tell you how terrified I was to give it a listen... Then without a choice. I was in love with this version by The White Stripes. I love his voice with this song, and the way they put an edginess to it. Give it a listen, you just might like it.
I love how a song from my childhood has made it through the years, and inspired so many different artists to creatively twist a timeless classic.
I hope you enjoyed today's post. I can't wait for next weeks.
