🎶✨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! 💜

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!

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!

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

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")

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!

@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!
