My Music Monday — (TIED Countdown) Wk 22

We’re getting closer and closer to the release of TIED. Continuing on with the playlist ….


My Music Monday (TIED Countdown) Wk 26

We’re taking up the Tuesday spot this week having showcased Terri Rochenski’s cover reveal for Eye of the Soul yesterday. Check it out if you missed it.

Onto week 26 already–closer and closer to the book release date of TIED. Up next on the playlist, M83.


My Music Monday (TIED Countdown) Wk 28

Back to the music this week!

And thanks again to everyone who shared and/or participated in the TIED cover reveal last week! I appreciate you guys. ;)

Today we’re rolling back into the mainstream. Enjoy!


My Music Monday (TIED Countdown) Wk 29

Since the launch of the TIED Cover and Blurb went live yesterday–here it is if you missed it:

My Music Monday is on Tuesday this week. Another MASSIVE Thank You to everyone who participated in the cover reveal yesterday. Your support was incredible.

TIED-Cover

We’re rolling into week 29 on the TIED Playlist Countdown. Again, out of order, but here’s a sample of what’s to come. Enjoy!


My Music Monday (TIED Countdown) Week 31

This week on the TIED Countdown we’re listening to another playlist track from the first book in The Fire Born Novels trilogy. (again in random order from the official playlist to be posted Sept 9th.) Enjoy!


My Music Monday (TIED Countdown)

I know, I know. It’s been foreverrr since I posted a new My Music Monday, so we begin again. ;)

This week I’ve been painstakingly compiling, and scaling down, the massive playlist for TIED, book one of The Fire Born Novels. Originally this playlist had close to 50 songs. I’ve narrowed it down to 34. Since I have 32 weeks until the launch of TIED, I thought a teaser was in order to get the momentum started. So … I’m going to play a small sampling of what’s to come every Monday all the way up to launch day. I’ve decided not to put the songs in order of scenes/chapters, as I don’t want to give too much away, but the songs will be in order when the playlist goes live, and in full, on the 9th of September. ENJOY!

My Music Monday

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any music, so today is a good day. Here are some of the songs I’m writing to, as well as running to, these days. Thanks for listening.

(Thank you to all the Artists, and producers of these videos—I own nothing.)


My Music Monday

Some of the best music I have heard in the last few weeks. Enjoy:

Grimes

Gotye

The Shins

(I own Nothing. Thank you to the YouTube creators and artists)

***April 2012, Disclaimer. I was listening to Gotye months before the above song was being played on every top 40 station in existence. Just saying.


My Music Monday

Here are a few tracks I’ll be writing to this week:

**Thanks to YouTube for videos (none of which belong to me)


My Music Mondays

No, I didn’t forget this post. Actually, half of my playlists got deleted when I synched my phone yesterday. I was too mad to re-create them and more so to try to remember them all. So…on that note, I’ll be playing some older stuff today.

Of course The Cure

This track is also by The Cure and one of my favorite songs of all time. Though I’m usually not a fan of remakes, I love this one by Dinosaur Jr. (And the video is pretty entertaining)

*No I do not own these songs, nor did I create these on YouTube. Like I’d even have the time…. Ha.


My Music Mondays

Here on the blog I am dedicating monday as Music Day. I will post my current playlist or songs that I feel are particularly good this week (or just the songs I’m writing/listening to). Although I love new music and try to stay current, I also love the old stuff and will be posting that as well. Thanks for listening.

PHANTOGRAM: Don’t Move

WASHED OUT: Before

FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE: Only If For A Night

FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE: Shake It Out


The music in me

(Via Wikipedia)

At the age of four, I was belting out The Beatles while sitting in the bath tub. With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, She’s Leaving Home & A Day In The Life (Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band) were a few of my favorites. At that age I knew and loved almost every Beatles song. I have too many favorites to name them all.

It wasn’t until much later that I realized none of these songs were from my generation. It was then that I wondered how in the world I knew them all.

Recently on vacation, my mom cranked up her ipod, her self-made compilation blaring, and as I unthinkingly sang along like I always do, Golden Slumbers (Abbey Road) by The Beatles rang out. My mom grinned and told me that it was one of my lullaby’s.

And then it hit me. My parents had played all these incredible albums to help me fall asleep as a baby and a young child. I never knew.

What greater gift could I have been given?

I own every single Beatles album now. It’s the music in me.
