🎶✨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! 💜

That's so fun that you're humming the song when you make tea @caitbird! There's that super cute mug of yours. Have you been to his shows?

Ok ok @caitbird . Song of the  month( I can't do a song a day just to much for me) for me . This month of May is Rebel Rebel by David Bowie.  Great song. Some would say it was the end of Glam Music. At least for David Bowie.  Song rocks. 

[caitbird]

@sissyboi72  I love that song! It's one of my favorites by David Bowie. He has some great ones.

And don't worry about posting a song every day - I don't post a song every day either, just whenever I feel like it! You are welcome to participate as much or as little as you want!

Today's song of the day is:

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

[itsfi]

Ahhhh, Pink Floyd!!! They've put out so many great hits @caitbird! 

[caitbird]

@itsfi  yes, definitely a band that has a great catalog of songs!

[Titian06]

@caitbird - I heard this song on Friday.  I love Pink Floyd! 🐖

[caitbird]

@Titian06  it's a classic! Pink Floyd has some great songs for sure!

Today's song of the day is:

Dori Freeman - Go On Lovin'

If you haven't heard Dori Freeman yet, go check her out! She's amazing 💜

[itsfi]

I just listened to one of her songs - she's good @caitbird! 🎶 Her transition from a lower register to the high ones is impressive.

[caitbird]

@itsfi  yes, she has a great voice! My mom discovered her by chance on Spotify a while back, and now my parents and I are all fans. I don't think there's a song of hers that I've heard that I haven't liked. Would love to see her live someday!

I realized I haven't really been listening to much music @caitbird so I went to see what I had been listening to on repeat before this pause and started boppin' around to APT by Rose and Bruno Mars. 

My intro to the original APT was by way of the cat cover of the song, which I would dance to with a much loved little. It's been a while since we did that so I'm adding to the "things to do" when we hang out next. 

[itsfi]

It’s got a great beat to it @caitbird. Bruno Mars & Rose look like they’re having so much fun. 

[caitbird]

@itsfi  that is a fun one! I like the music video, they look like they're having a great time.

[caitbird]

A lot of times when I'm listening to music, if I'm not in the mood to listen to anything specific, I'll just put my music library on shuffle and see what comes up. So today's song of the day is Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?

[caitbird]

Today's song of the day is Lankum - Hares On The Mountain. I have several versions of this traditional folk song, but this one is my favorite. I have been listening to Lankum a lot lately. Radie Peat's voice is incredible!

• @caitbird Bang A Gong ( Get It On)  by Trex. Favorite song of the month. I can't do a song a day .Give u a song a month. Marc Boland was a great singer song writer and musician. Also a POET.  AND  beautiful person. Some say he started glam rock when he appeared on Top Of The Pops with glitter on his face. If ur sitting in a bar and this song comes on the jukebox.  U see a guy with pretty pink lips . Come over and say hi to me . I'll buy u a beer

I recently spent an evening perusing Train music videos (❤️ Calling All Angels, Marry Me, Drops of Jupiter.) 

I ended the session with The Shallow with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. I can’t get get that song out of my head now, it’s so haunting.

[caitbird]

Today's song of the day is: Sarah Vaughan - Black Coffee

My mom has been listening to Sarah Vaughan a lot lately, and this is my personal favorite of her songs. Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald also do great versions of this song. ☕

Prioritizing sleep and incresing my digital detox from 30 minutes before bed to an hour are a couple of the self-care activites I want to focus on this year @caitbird. The latter is part of my efforts to prioritize sleep and has been helpful with my sleep quality. 🙌 One of the activities I include (or try to include) as part of my wind down routine is to get in some restorative yoga while listening to relaxing instrumental music. A set I've been enjoying at the moment is from the YT channel, The Soul of Wind. It's appropriately titled "Relaxing Sleep Music + Stress Relief - Relaxing Music, Deep Sleep Instantly, Night Coffee Music". 🎶🎵🎶
