Obsessions - How about a sing-a-long?
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does
this. My most recent obsessions have been:
OtR - Everyman's Daughter
Barry Manilow - I Made It Through the
Rain
Bif Naked - Lucky
Sundays - When I'm Thinking About
You
OtR - Moth
Christopher Beck - Close Your Eyes
Izzy
- Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Innocence Mission - Medjugorie/Paper
Dolls
U2 - Bad (live)
O Sister! - Time is Winding Up
OtR -
Anything at All Michelle Branch - Goodbye to
You
Amy Alison - Listless and Lonesome
George Michael/Elton John - Don't Let the Sun Go
Down
Innocence Mission - Birds
Sundays - God Made Me
OtR - Anyway
Barry Manilow - Daybreak
Imperials - Be Still My Soul
O Brother! (Soundtrack) - Angel Band
Note: Six months ago this list would have been
peppered with classic rock and heavy metal, big 80s, power ballads.
Three months ago it would have been Christmas carols and hymns. It just
depends on the mood. Please, I don't need anymore razzing about my Barry
Manilow/George Michael tastes...so save the comments.
As an aside, I have a commute two days a week that
puts me on the freeway (something here in Phoenix to greatly fear). I find
that by making "mix" CDs of my favorite songs I can deal with the traffic much
easier. My commute CDs all songs that I love to sing along with. We
are talking full out - top of the lungs - there's a copncert going on in my car
- singing. So in addition to this fascinating exchange on obsessions, I'd
like to propose a new subject on singing songs. What three songs can you
not help but sing along with, or moreover you actually look forward to so you
can sing? I believe singing (whether one is talented or not) is good for
the soul. Have you ever met a "singer" or a hummer or a whistler?
Generally they are happy people. My theory is: if more people sang (rather
than talk on cell phones while driving) there would be less road rage. So
what do you sing?
