30 Day Blog Journal: Day 1



My sweet friend Emily is doing a blog link up that looks like fun! It's an entry per day for the month of August. Here's the topic for the day:

Your Favorite Song

Basically, look at my playlist in the right-hand column of this blog! Haha! My tastes are varied, but pretty predictable (sounds weird, but true!). My favorite types of music are the old-style classics, easy listening (instrumentals) and beautiful, unique melodies and lyrics. I HATE techno, rap, and anything that's pointless and took no talent to write. My taste for country comes and goes, depending on the song.

Some of my favorite songs are the lullabies I sing to Evy Kate. I wrote about them here and here. I can't narrow down ONE favorite song, but one I'm incredibly fond of is "Moon River." I love every single version I hear of it, so it was hard to choose a version to share with you. But the Percy Faith arrangement just moves my soul. (Pause my regular playlist.)



I also love show tunes. That is really unique, beautiful music. Christmas music is the music that makes me the happiest. I could go on and on! This has inspired me that I need to do a post about my favorite music! :) I wish I could mention a million songs. . .but surely you can sense that to me, music is one of THE greatest gifts God has given to humans. Magnificent.
