Billie Holiday - The Very Thought of You

I absolutely adore the music of Billie Holiday and how the passion in her voice moves me. This is one of my favorites. I think it is so true what this song says about how someone can become so deeply rooted in your heart and mind that everywhere you turn, you are reminded of them. It is a beautiful sentiment and one I can certainly relate to.

Pearl Jam - Just Breathe (Live at Austin City Limits)

Austin City Limits showcases a lot of great musicians. I really enjoyed the episode with Pearl Jam and this video for Just Breathe is one of my favorites.

YouTube - Norah Jones - Nightingale

One of my favorite songs by Norah Jones. For me, it is about learning to really love yourself, be yourself and soar. Don't let others define you or dictate your personality and goals for you. Each of us has something unique to offer the world, let your light shine on! YouTube - Norah Jones - Nightingale

Tim McGraw: Don't take the girl - music video (lyrics in description)

My taste in music is definitely eclectic. I am really drawn to lyrics, to the story that a song can illustrate more than what genre it may be from. I love songs that take me on a journey, through life, emotions, love, passion, romance, etc. Although, I have never been a dedicated country music fan, there are some country songs that really stick with me, this is one of them. Every time I hear it, I get chills running through me. It truly does affect me and I love songs that have that ability. Maybe, it does the same for you.

David Wilcox ~ Language of the Heart

David Wilcox is surely one of the best storytellers. His fluid honesty and passion is bubbling over in every one of his songs. I have had the pleasure of seeing him perform live. All of his audiences will tell you how it feels as though you are hanging out with him as he tell personal stories. Hopefully, you will have the chance to experience his music in that way one day. Share his honesty with others.

Jesse Cook - Cascada

Jesse Cook, a Flamenco guitarist, whose music I fell in love with right away. Having loved the music of The Gipsy Kings since I was a child, Jesse Cook was a welcome edition to my listening library. He has quite a repertoire of music and I have not heard anything of his that I did not like. I have a few favorites, like Soledad, Mario Takes a Walk, Dance of Spring and this one, Cascada.

Into The Mystic

Into The Mystic by Van Morrison
When I hear this song, I am totally consumed by it. It has always had this affect on me. It takes hold of me, heart and soul. Some songs just have this overwhelming affect on me. It is the sense of being swept away on a journey while calling me home at the same time. You may have heard it before, but give it a listen and share your thoughts if you like.
