Week 11 : Tina Turner

 This week is one of my favorite week for song choices for many different reasons, there are so many great artists and songs that we get to choose from as well as this is what my family would play all the time growing up in my house.  The song I chose for this week, is What's Love Got To Do With It by the all so famous Tina Turner.  One of my favorite lyrics and one of the most heart felt ones in the song itself I think would have to be the line that states, "Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken? Huh", for me those lyrics really stood out because sometimes you can't ever recover from a broken heart, and in extreme cases you can die from a broken heart.  I'm with my family when I'm writing this blog post and I ask my mom what the song is and who sings it, this had to be the funniest moment today for different reasons.  Within at least 15 seconds of the song my younger sister yells out," THE BEACH BOYS", so we bust out laughing because she is way off and she should know better than this since all we do is listen to music.  Then a couple seconds later my mom guesses the song, "Oh! This is "What's Love Got To Do With It", right?" then proceeds to take about 5 minutes to guess the artist and just feels dumb since she could describe what Tina Turner looks almost exactly, yet couldn't remember her name.

    Haha thanks for sharing the experience you had with your family while finishing this post. It's funny when we can picture an artist, their voice, and everything else about them but their name. I also really like this song. I haven't read a blog post yet where someone has shared their favorite lyric, so I thought it was cool you included that.

    I agree! This week was a blast to choose songs from! I am so happy we are getting to listen to music we can recognize now. It is sooo flipping nice! That line always sticks out to me as well though I love it. I feel like a lot of people can relate to those lines. Also, Tina Turner's voice is just iconic! Such a lead for this generation of music.

Week 8 : The Rolling Stones

Image
 To start of this 'amazing' Monday, we are jamming out to THE ROLLING STONES!  One of the best 'old school' bands that I grew up on as a kid, and lets just say I was very excited when I saw this on the songs of the week list.  Just by the very beginning of the song you are already in such a good mood, and just completely vibing with the characters in the song.  I should probably tell you what song I picked for this week now that I think about it, the song I chose for this week is Honky Tonk Women by The Rolling Stones.  This songs brings back a lot of summer memories for me from my childhood.  The one memory I can place with this song was in the summer when I was 7 or 8, me and cousins were learning how to skateboard in front of my grandparents house on a hot summer day.  We just finished drawing all over the concrete with chalk and finished an otter pop, then you hear the stereo from the backyard blaring this song while me and my cousin crashed into e...

Week 7 : The Beach Boys

 Can't believe this is week 7, only a couple more weeks left!!  Anyway this week I chose one of the many amazing songs by the one and only BEACH BOYS!  The first time I ever heard The Beach Boys was on a CD my dad gave me (along with lots of other old bands and artists I absolutely adore) when my parents gave me a CD player for a birthday when I was younger.  The Beach Boys bring back a lot of great memories for me, and the song I chose this week was Fun, Fun, Fun.  Right off the bat you get summer vibes in my opinion, no other song gives off this kind of nostalgic feeling of being under the song all day.  The song talks about how this girl isn't gonna stop having fun with her life no matter what her dad says, she is just living her best life.  The melody and tune is so upbeat and lively, and the background singers add even more serenity to the song itself.  Listening to this song you can picture all of the fun times these people have just writing...

Week 5 Blog Post : Frank Sinatra

Image
 Nancy (With the Laughing Face) by Frank Sinatra reminds so much of an older love song, which is exactly what it is in my opinion.  He repeatedly brings up this special person, and how much he can't possibly survive without her.  Bringing up the emotions of the kisses they share, how her 'laughing face' can brighten up any day, changing winter into summer.  He calls her an angel a couple times, that tell me he can't live without her.  Saying that any other girl could never make him feel all the emotions she does, and he doesn't want to be with anyone other than her.  To feel the love he feels for this girl, I only dream of finding one day, I mean who doesn't want to find pure, true love?  The instruments in the background only make the song better, they provide peace and serenity.  They give off a lovey dovey kind of feeling you would find in an older movie, when the main guy finally gets the girl he has been after the whole time, realizes she is ...
