A song that always makes you smile. I am in such a Kate Bush mood today, it's easy to pick Wuthering Heights. Her otherworldly presence is just magical and this song always makes me smile. It makes me want to read Wuthering Heights and pretend I live on an old farm out on the Yorkshire …
30 Day Music Challenge, day 20
A song from a great old movie. My favorite movies are old, most are made somewhere between 1970-2000, it's the abundance of songs and movies and it makes it hard to choose. On one hand, few things make me as jolly as the soundtracks from all of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, on the …

A song that tells your story. Wow, that's expecting a lot. Generally, the songs by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds see straight through my soul and fills my melodramatic heart to the brim with recognition. Can one song encompass what feels like a life story, unless you wrote it yourself? I can't explain how …

A song that makes you turn up the radio. Oh man, the radio. The place where commercials come to die. Don't get me wrong, I listen quite a bit to our national public radio channels, mainly to the conversations and stories (P3 in my heart), most programs come in a podcast format so even if …
30 Day Music Challenge, day 17
The song of sex. Or the most hilarious wording of this challenge. It sounds like either one song is all there is time for, or that one song is put on repeat for the entire session. Personally, I prefer playlists, but each to their own. Also, it's really about what mood you're trying to set, …

Your favorite Disney song. I'm a little ambivalent when it comes to Disney, not a fan of princess movies now and hated them with a passion as a kid. There's no nostalgic feelings anywhere within me towards a lot of the Disney productions that was big when I was little in the early 90's. What …

A song you listen to while driving. We've got a car with crappy speakers but at least it's possible to use Spotify in it, even though it has made the time and date thingy completely freak out. Our poor little bumper car. It's been a lot of retrowave during 2021, especially The Midnight. I guess …
30 Day Music Challenge, Day 14
A song that makes you get up and dance. I'm not the type of person who typically dances, I'm good with the jumping up and down at gigs and shows but would rather just have a beer and be boring than hang out on a dance floor. Occasionally I get lured out of my comfort …
30 Day Music Challenge, day 13
A song with a long title. This one feels like it was made up by an emo band in the beginning of the 2000's because I don't think anyone else ever put THAT amount of effort into making song titles long and complicated. But I happened to listen to Kælan Mikla when I did my …
30 Day Music Challenge, day 12
The song you know all the words to. Lyrics are my thing, they stick in my brain like superglue, no matter if I like the song or not. If I hear it once, chances are I will be able to sing along next time it comes up. If I really like a song and it …
