🎶✨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! 💜

@caitbird, I was thinking about going through a larger declutter sesh later in the month with that as my background (motivational) music. 😄🎵🎶🎵🎶

[caitbird]

@itsfi  that sounds like a fantastic plan! Always important to have that motivational soundtrack when tackling projects 😂

[itsfi]

This may be before your time @caitbird, but it'll remind me of little Kevin McAllister racing home to set his trap for the Wet Bandits in the original Home Alone movie. 😂🤣😂 

[caitbird]

@itsfi  you know, I still have never seen Home Alone...I know of it through cultural osmosis, but haven't actually watched it myself. I guess it's on the never-ending list of "movies to see...someday" 😅

@caitbird - A couple of my faves are

- Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses

- Father Christmas by The Kinks

[caitbird]

@Titian06  I don't think I know either of those ones, I will definitely check them out! I'm always on the hunt for new Christmas/holiday music this time of year. Thanks for the recommendations!

[CynthieLu]

Fun question @caitbird  Growing up I loved Angles We Have Heard On High 🕊️ 🎄 what about you?

[caitbird]

@CynthieLu  when I was a kid I liked The First Noel, I think. Now one of my favorites is 'Zat You, Santa Clause? by Louis Armstrong, it's so fun!

Such a great topic and never thought of  a song of the day topic.. how awesome .😃

@caitbird  so hard to pick a song of the day but  my song of the day is  Sailing by Christopher Cross such a beautiful zen ballad  also I love his song Ride Like The Wind... 

#YachtRock  #besides beauty 

[caitbird]

@CocoLancome28  glad you like the thread, and thanks for joining in! I'm not familiar with this song, I will definitely check it out! I've been getting so many great song/artist recs from this thread!

[Titian06]

@CocoLancome28 - Love Ride Like the Wind and Don't Pay the Ferryman! 🎵🎤🎧

[CocoLancome28]

I haven't heard Don't Pay The Ferryman in forever ..such a rare gem by Chris Deburgh ...   @Titian06 

I also like  the song Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel ...  also I like  Dua Lipa she's not only a talented singer/actress she's also the face of YSL ads for the Libre scent and the loveshine lipstick.. love her song Houdini 🎵.. 

[Titian06]

Ooopsie, @CocoLancome28 !  You're right!  I had the wrong Chris! 😆  Thanks for straightening me out.  I'm not familiar with Dua Lipa, but a few people have mentioned her.  I'm going to have to take a listen!

Peter Gabriel!  Yes!  Love his music!  I first heard him when he was with Genesis.  Another great band...and Phil Collins could sing the phone book! **sigh**

[CynthieLu]

Thank you for starting this thread @caitbird 🙏 I'm kinda excited to share some music with everyone. Maybe it's not to everyone's taste buttttt..

Being that it's December I've got Christmas music on my mind. One I like a lot is Fairytale of New York by the Pouges. There's been a lot of covers of this song, a beautiful one I stumbled across was by Walk Of The Earth. It's not so raw and it's a little more easy listening than the original, thou I still like that one best. ❄️

[caitbird]

@CynthieLu  I love Fairytale of New York! I have not heard of this cover, I will definitely have to check it out!

[CynthieLu]

It's a beautiful one right? I remember the first time I heard it. We were driving home late at night from somewhere far and it was so snowy. This song was so memorable. ❄️🎶 @caitbird 

[caitbird]

Today's song of the day is:

Eilen Jewell - Santa Fe

My parents have gone to see Eilen Jewell live at least 7 or 8 times (I've lost count by this point, and so have they), most recently a week ago for my dad's birthday. Apparently she does this song every time. It's a good one!

[CynthieLu]

This is a fun thread @caitbird what a great idea!! I'm going to go look up this song. 🎶 🎵

[makeitup305]

Current ear worm- "Messy" by Lola Young. One of the artists I've discovered through TikTok.

[caitbird]

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")

[Titian06]

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.
