Songs that make my heart sing

I don’t usually do tags but I thought this was a good one. It was started by Hilda Carroll a few weeks ago. Now Ed Mills from Evolving times has tagged me with this, thanks Ed you chose a good one. I have strayed a bit from the original idea of the meme as I could not think of 1 song that made my heart sing as music is so important to me. what i have done is extended the meme but still have chosen 1 song for the list that Hilda is compiling:

My Number 1 song to make my heart sing

Paddy Casey - Saints and sinners

All my other music

Where the hell do I start. I love music but don’t necessarily follow anyone religiously or any type of music. I am one of those people, when asked the questions ‘what kind of music are you into?’ I usually say I like all different kinds, which is followed by the questioner giving a moan and a grunt, as they can’t have a great debate about the genre they are into. I don’t define myself by the music I follow but the music that followed me has defined me, to a degree.

Okay here goes:

When I am in the car and I need to rid myself of excess energy, I have made up my own compilation which I listen to very loudly and sing at the top of my voice, here are the artists and the singles:

The Who – Baba O’Riley
Paddy Casey – Saints and sinners
Tom Petty – Free fallin’

The Saw Doctors – Green and red of Mayo
Bob Marley – Redemption song
Deepest Blue – Give it away
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow
McFly – Obviously
Black Eyed Peas – Where is the love
Love inc – You’re a superstar
Michelle McManus – All this time
ACDC – You shook me all night long
Simon & Garfunkel – Cecelia
Letter to Cleo – I want you to want me
Cheap Trick – Surrender
Wheatus – Teenage dirtbag

Now that’s only part of what I love. I love anthems, songs that you can bellow out in the car. It’s quite an eclectic mix up there.

Anytime albums

These are albums I can listen to anytime no matter what mood I am in:

James Taylor – Classic Songs
Del Amitri – Change Everything
Stone Roses – Stone Roses
Joey Calderazo

Dance Music

I used to be a huge Dance Trance fan as well and I still listen to it sometimes as it can be very good for trance meditation. Some of the artists I loved in this genre were:

Chicane
ATB
Paul Oakenfold
Matt Darey
Agnelli & Nelson
Sasha

Songs that break my heart

Eric Clapton – Tears in Heaven
The Proclaimers – Sunshine on Leith (an old friend used to sing this every time he went out and he died in a car crash about 8 years ago).
OMD - Souvenir

Classical Music

I also love classical music, particularly Baroque style. Some of my favourites are:

Pachelbel – Canon - (My wife walked down the aisle whilst a harpist played this, absolutely beautiful both my wife and the music).

Albinoni – Adagio

Bach - Sheep may safely graze

Vivaldi – Guitar Concerto in D, 2nd Movement (Largo)

Instrumental music

I love and listen to A few instrumental composers constantly and they are:

Brain Eno – Music for Airports
Brian Eno – Appollo
Arvo Pärt – Spiegel im Speigel

I also bought every single one of Jean Michel Jarre’s albums when I was younger as I thought he was one of the most innovative musicians in the world. I haven’t listend to him in a while.

Okay I have to pass this on to a couple of other people to keep this meme going. I will pass this onto the following people:

Glenn Tan
Ponn Sabra
Liz Strauss
Gleb Ryss

    Thanks for playing Steven. Great list! There is nothing better than cranking up the tunes in the car and belting ‘em out! I love that you’ve got AC/DC right next to Simon and Garfunkle!
