TUNES

Day 3, Post 3: TUNES, Music that moves me...

I am an odd duck on this one (okay, I am probably an odd duck on more than just this - but this is my blog and that is what I am saying today!)

Mo told me to post about some of the songs on my ipod and in return get some songs to try out or add.

I have a very eclectic taste in music. Everybody that knows me will tell you I know some pretty obscure songs and for some reason I just know ALOT of lyrics. Music moves me - I find passion in music. Music is my security blanket. When I am sad, happy, mad, stressed, angry - music can make me feel better.

I associate just about every memory to a song. I will never be able to hear "Dreams of Effin an R & B B..." without thinking of @kellyk_C or "Put it in Your Mouth" and not think of @garb76. "One More Chance" makes me remember my trip to Robert Morris in the summer of 1995. And just recently I will never be able to hear "Strokin'" and not think of @slorunnermom.

I know that alot of people need a good beat to feel energized when exercising. That is not the case for me. If I can sing along it energizes me. Good music just motivates me, doesn't have to be the beat. I'm also an equal opportunist. I like Rap, R&B, funk, soul, country, pop, classic rock, Motown, reggae. My true heart is R&B and that is what you will find me listening to the most, but really I love all.

I'm just going to list the top 10 for this Saturday (and I think I just may do this every Saturday!)

* "My Love" - Jill Scott
*"Sumthin' Sumthin" - Maxwell
* "Gotta Get: Closer" - Maxwell
*"Love No Limit" - Mary J. Blige
