Music Mondays make a come back =)

Anyone who knows me knows that I REALLY REaLLY love music....all kinds of music...I always have. On my old blog, I used to have a post every monday entitled, Music Mondays where I would feature an artist and a few of their songs and a little bit about the artist and lyrics, and etc....  So, now that I have this blog, I am bringing it back.

It will take a slightly different format. I will feature ONE song on music mondays which will be played through my "player" at the bottom for the week...previous songs will remain on the playlist for the month...then I will get a new one.

Today (since I didn't have my blog up and running last week) I am featuring 2 songs.  The one you have already heard playing if you looked at it at all the past few days, and that is Winter Song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson.  It is one of those songs that I don't know how I have never heard before, since I really really like both of those artists (especially Ingrid), but in any event...I found it last week, fell in love with it, and like most songs I fall in love with... I listened to it an absurd amount of times...and pretty much liked it more each time I listened to it.

I love the piano (I always love pianos) their beautiful voices, and the lyrics are wonderful...kinda sad, but hopeful at the same time =)  It is perfect for this time of year.  My favorite part (beside the piano and the "bum bum bum's) is the line where they say,
 "my love a beacon in the night, my words will be your light, to carry you to me."

For this week I am featuring the song "The Luckiest' by Ben Folds.   I have never even really listened to Ben Folds...in fact it was only recently I realized that he was the the same guy from Ben Folds Five (I liked their song BRICK, back in the day). In any event...this song was on our computer...I have no idea how it got there, because I know I didn't download it, and I know my husband wouldn't download it...so however it got there, I am super grateful =)  It is another piano song (go figure) and the lyrics are some of the most adorable I have ever heard...i love them all!  It is a toss up for what are my favorite lines of the song....either...

 "and where was I before the day that i first saw your lovely face...now I see it, everyday and I know, that I am, I am, I am the luckiest."
OR
"I love you more than I have, ever found a way to say to you..."

Whoever was the recipient of this song, or whoever it was based on is pretty lucky in my book! 

I hope you enjoy both of the songs....HaPPy listening!!!
