🎶✨Song of the Day and Music Thread!✨🎶

[caitbird]

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! 💜

I listen to a lot of traditional folk music, and today I've been listening to a bunch of Archie Fisher, among other artists. So today's song of the day is:

Archie Fisher - The Witch of the West-Mer-Lands

Kate Rusby does a lovely version of this song as well, and so does the great Stan Rogers (both as "The Witch of the Westmorland")

I've been meaning to post, I've been listening to Subways of Your Mind by FEX, the most mysterious song on the internet, along with the three other songs posted on YT.  It was finally solved earlier this month.  I like Talking Hands even better.

[makeitup305]

@Titian06I really like Talking Heads. They're songs are so catchy.

[Titian06]

Talking Heads is a great band, @makeitup305 !  Life During Wartime is my fave of their songs. 🎵

[caitbird]

Today's song of the day is an oldie but goodie:

The Who - Baba O'Riley

I find this to be a great uplifting song 💜 🎶

[Titian06]

Great song, @caitbird !  The Who is my fave band! 🎵🎼🎧

[caitbird]

@Titian06  thank you! They are a great band for sure! Do you have a favorite song of theirs? I like the Who songs that I know but I feel like I'm only scratching the surface.

[Titian06]

@caitbird - A couple of my faves are Long Live Rock and 5:15. 😎🎸🎤

[caitbird]

@Titian06  I will definitely check those out!

[Samtian]

@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

[caitbird]

@Samtian @makeitup305  oh I love Hozier! I remember discovering him years ago and raving to my best friend about his music and she was like "oh yeah Hozier, I like him" and I was like "WHAT you mean you've been listening to this and DIDN't TELL ME?!" lol 🤣

anyway thanks for the recommendations, will definitely check them out!

[Samtian]

@caitbird haha yep! Hope you enjoy them!

[makeitup305]

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

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 He is! I wish I could see him live.

[makeitup305]

@Samtian I saw him at a music festival forever ago and he was great. I would love to be able to see him in concert again!

[caitbird]

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!

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

@itsfi Great photo. I am noticing the new MERIT Retrospect™ L’Extrait de Parfum 1 oz / 30 mL parfum spray ..how are you liking it?

[itsfi]

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]

@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]

@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?
