musical appreciation

Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music

The definition above is a bit too literal for me so here is how I feel about Music I FUCKING love it! There are oh so many songs that get my emotions going in whirlwinds.  Although I have a super hard shell, I am actually a huge softy- a lot of songs can make me cry in an instant and I kinda love that :] It's amazing how a song can bring me back to a special memory, a cool ass event, a sad not so pleasant time and most of all give me goose bumps all over.

You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' by The Righteous Brothers, TOP GUN baby!!! It's just un-American to not enjoy this song when it comes on the radio & it is from a pretty classic movie.

Then He Kissed Me by The Crystals, holy hell this song is from back in the day and I am guessing surprising that it made my list of songs I love. Any time I hear this song I am instantly remind of the movie Goodfellas when Ray Liotta's character takes his love interest to dinner where it is completely booked but he manages to get a table taken to the front of the room where the two can enjoy entertainment and food ;] GREAT MOVIE

INGRID MICHAELSON .... my oh my, I LOVE this woman and her musical genius. Can't Stop Falling in Love (the song I will walk down the aisle to), You And I, which is ironically the theme song to my employer Lowe's latest commercial on the tele. Once Was Love, a feel good song!

Sexy and I Know It by LMAFO, I mean the title is self explanatory. This song makes me want to WORK OUT, dance in my room naked, belt out the lyrics in the car when I am on the move and the video c'mon, hilarious!!

Cherry Waves by Deftones .... there is a lot going on in this song for me & I will always love it till my dying days. I believe I got my fiance to love it as well, and he does not listen to this type of music.

Wild Horses by The Sundays -There are so many versions of this classic song but this is my favorite version because it is played during the roller coaster scene of the movie Fear. This scene is awesome, nuff said!

If I had the opportunity to switch lives with a song artist it would definitely be Zooey Deschanel ;] oh, you didn't realize that this vintage, unique beauty is not only an actress but sings as well??  LOVE her!
