Your day in three songs.
Hi beautiful people. I am a huge music fan and have found it so very important in helping to get through the last year. I have used it as a distraction to send me somewhere else when I have had to do something not so nice or when I was scared. I've used it to help the tears flow or not to. I use it to change my moods.
My day is a good one so here's my playlist for today.
Your Song Elton John (for no particular reason than it was playing in my head when I woke up)
Get Rhythm Johnny Cash
Three little birds Bob Marley
I would love to hear yours.

- I do too @kezmusc, I was brought up listening to him as another one of my Dads Favs!! Xx
- So today's song is going to be "I'm Still Standing" because it is now stuck in my head thank you @RachelG. LOL And I love love love Elton.
xoxo - Thanks for June Tabor @ Afraser - I forgot my folk roots -you might like another favourite of mine Paddy Reilly
- Great idea.
Good days: " I love to see you dancing in your baggy pants", June Tabor; Duo Seraphim, Vespers, Monteverdi; Gloria, Patti Smith.
Reflective days: Canto for Benjamin Britten, Arvo Part; " I Fall To Pieces", Patsy Cline; Mahler's Resurrection Symphony. - Now if I had been a less mellow day it would have been Janis Joplin , The Band and Joe Cocker “Mad Dogs and Englishmen”
- Well my day’s been a good one so I’d pick my favourites :
Joan Baez singing a Dylan song “Forever Young “
Gladys Knight and the Pips “ The Need to Be ”
and Eva Cassidy singing Sting’s song “ Fields of Gold” - Great topic @kezmusc !!
I'm back loving my music since kick starting my uke group in 2011 ..... I hear music (get it??) in every phrase & everyday sayings - and if someone says 2 words together that are in a song - I am likely to sing it! LOL
I've just done an arrangement for the uke group for Midnight in Moscow - and just now, I am humming, singing, strumming and 'picking' it - even at 2am in the morning!! grrrrr Kenny Ball is more famous for his version tho!
Iz's ... Somewhere/Wonderful World - the youtube video of Iz's 'homecoming funeral/ashes' has me in tears every time I watch it.
Let's Twist Again ...... just such a bouncy song - we play it all the time at our gigs & when we perform at Uke Festivals! People get up & dance in the aisles!! SO much fun!! - Hi @kezmusc, this is a great one!! I love listening to music and this has been something that has helpd me through some bad times.
My song throughout this has always been Elton John "I'm still standing".
I listened to one of my Dad's favourite songs today "Songbird" Eva Cassidy and my wedding song Christina Perri "A thousand years" x - I'm not listening to anything but I must be channelling some sort of grrl power because these are what immediately sprang to mind:
Message of Love by The Pretenders
Fuck You by Lily Allen
The Ballad of Lucy Jordan by Marianne Faithfull
And I just realised that I've ranged through another 40 years of music on this list!
