🎶✨Song of the Day and Music Thread!✨🎶

caitbird — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 00:24:44 GMT

Hello BIC beauties! 😊 I realized we don't have an active music thread here in BIC (there seem to be a few different short-lived threads from years past, but nothing recent as far as I could find), and I thought it would be fun to have a place to recommend our favorite artists and songs, chat about what we've been listening to lately, post our song of the day or anything else music related! Everyone is welcome to join in however you like, however often you like, and all types of music are welcome! 💜

@caitbird I've been on a Spanish music kick lately. I'm a native Spanish speaker but usually listen to mostly music in English. However, over the past few months I've discovered a couple of Spanish-speaking artists that have really drawn me in. The song that's stuck in my head today is "Tuvimos Futuro" by Lagos. It translates to "We had a future" and it's about reminiscing a past relationship about a point in time where they stayed quiet and, because they didn't talk it out, everything ended.

@caitbird Wonderful thread idea! I have been enjoying Drifting by Tiesto, Poppy Baskcomb. It gets me pumped up. Cute photo! Is that your kitty? I wonder what song he/she is listening to?

Great idea for a thread, @caitbird ! I love music. It's really hard for me to keep up with current music. About the only time I have time to listen to music is in the car on the way to and from work and running errands. Then I flip through stations looking for something I like! Today I heard Aerosmith Walk This Way (I was in 7th or 8th grade when this was popular) and found out Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album was released 50 years ago today (this was 5th or 6th grade). Yea, I'm old! 😄

Edit: Love the pic! 🥰🐈🐾🎧

Today’s earworm is “No se acaba hasta que acabe” by Lagos ft. Reik. It translates to “it’s not over til it’s over”. I’ve been singing the chorus all day.

It's been jazz for me most mornings this week while I get ready for the day @caitbird.

@makeitup305 I will have to check this song/artist out, it sounds so interesting! I love songs that tell some kind of story - I listen to a lot of traditional folk music, ballads, that sort of thing. I only speak English but I've always wanted to learn more about music from other languages and cultures.

@Mellmars1185 thank you! I will add this song to my list of music to check out, I can always use more pump up songs haha! Not my kitty, just a pic I found on Pinterest. I imagine he/she is listening to something relaxing and mellow.

@Titian06 thank you! 💜 I am glad to hear someone else still listens to the radio in the car, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't moved over to Spotify lol. I don't think I know that Aerosmith song, I will have to give it a listen.

@makeitup305 thanks for sharing, I will check it out! 😊

@itsfi jazz is so underrated, I think! I can see it making for great getting ready music. Do you listen to more classic 20th century jazz, or contemporary artists, or both? I love a lot of Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, oldies like that. My parents like jazz a lot, they went to a Jane Monheit show just last night.

P.S. love the pic! Is that the new Merit perfume?

Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread so far, I love hearing about what you all are listening to, and getting recommendations for new music to check out! 💜

Today's song of the day is:

Kate Rusby - Only Desire What You Have

I love Kate Rusby, I have ever since I was a little kid listening to her first CD that my mom had! She's probably my favorite musical artist - I think she could sing anything and I'd love it. Seeing her live is definitely on my bucket list!

@itsfi Great photo. I am noticing the new ..how are you liking it?

Re: 🎶✨Song of the Day and Music Thread!✨🎶

itsfi — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 16:57:28 GMT

Agree @caitbird! I listen to a little of both, but mostly the classics, like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Nina Simone. Oh, what a fun night for your parents! I was with some friends and they had Jane Monheit playing.

Thank you! I've been working on some non-staged shots - not sure what that would be called - like candids but not of people. Anyhow, sorta in that vein - I did move up my phone so it appeared in the frame and turned a couple of the products around so you could see the name. Yes, that's the new - the presentation is visually stunning; the scent grew on me. I first tried it in store and wasn't sure about it, but I received a sample with a purchase from the brand and after wearing it a few times, really came to like it. Then went searching a couple of my local stores for it during the sale because it quickly flew off the shelves. It's woody, fruity and floral; I find the particular combination of notes in this one to be unique.

Thank you @Mellmars1185, I've been trying out different ways to shoot things. I'm liking the Merit - some days the initial spritz is a little much for me but the dry down has been one I've enjoyed from the beginning. The opening is growing on me. The first time I tried it though it was too much; the woodiness came through pretty quick and prominently, but since then, it's really been a nice. I think weather had a lot to do with it. It's happened with a couple of different fragrances where they were not that attractive to me in the warm months and then the weather cooled and I tried it again and ... oooooh, it was wonderful.

Mellmars1185 — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 22:15:48 GMT

@itsfi @ I understand. I used to wash off a scent if I didnt like it initially. The other day, I tried a sample of a Killian perfume and it grew on me through the day. It is interesting how that works!

@caitbird Fun thread! Lately I've been listening to Too Sweet by Hozier, Stay Golden by Saint Motel, Routines in the Night by 21 Pilots and It's Tricky by Run DMC

@Samtian Hozier is amazing. It's hard to find a song of his I don't enjoy.
