Day 5 - 10 songs you love right now

oh man, where to begin??? Music is huge in our lives. I will not add it to the list for me, but Rise by Katy Perry has words that make me think of my girls, their struggles and successes, always RISING to the challenge.

I do have the wonderful advantage of never listening to the radio or new music unless my kids give it to me, so my list is probably going to be old school. I will open up Amazon Music and see which ones I last listened to

1. Disturbed - Sound of Silence  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4

• I have had the privilege of  having this song be done twice in my lifetime in a most awesome way. I first heard this song on FB I believe and could not decide if it was a fav or not, but could not stop listening, and it quickly became a must listen

      2. Disturbed - The Light  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LypjOTTH6E

• I found this one while listening to the other and I loved the video and the message. His voice is beyond amazing and in this song it shows his range well. 

      3. Breaking Benjamin - Angels Fall, Ashes of Eden, What lies Beneath, Give me a sign (pretty much the entire Dear Agony album) Hollow etc etc etc...  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztJirkY5AMw

• I love Breaking Benjamin. They are a group that put a lot of feeling into their songs. I may not love every song, but on Dear Agony I do, just a group that I listen to a lot and enjoy the feeling. 

       4. Christina Perri - The Words  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9tc9R_Y3FY

• I do like the song, like to sing along to it, but I must admit the draw for me mainly comes from the video and Colin O'Donoghue...

       5. Guns n Roses - Don't Cry (Again, so many good ones, November Rain, Live and Let Die, the Garden - ok, I have far exceeded the 10 songs, Sorry!!)  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRIbf6JqkNc

• " I know how you feel inside, I've been there before " although the song in whole is good, I love when someone understands me (not GnR) in life because they have walked in similar shoes. Makes me feel understood. 

       6. Elton John - Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny), Yellow Brick Road and Someone Saved My Life Tonight

• I have loved Elton John for so long. I remember in CA when I was little listening to Angie's Yellow Brick Road Album. Not sure if it was because my big sis liked him or what but I have listened and liked him for as long as I can remember, and his concert was one of the best concerts I have EVER attended, such a showman

      7.  Nickelback - Never Gonna Be Alone, Gotta Be Somebody, What Are Waiting For?   -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqajUg85Ax4

• Again, another group that makes me feel. I have way too many songs of theirs I like to list them all, but love listening to them. And yes, I realize the link is to a Chad Kroeger Avril Lavigne Let Me Go Video...just too good to pass on!

      8. Daughtry - Over You (and pretty much everything else)  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADQ9CAavPY4

• loved him on American Idol and have followed ever since. Love his music in all moods.

      9. Rascal Flatts - I'm Moving On  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKIGOHhiDuY

• I drove to Texas singing this song over and over, and over again. Courage?? Not sure what I was gaining, but loved it and guess some of the words are reminiscent of "fake it til you make it"...keep saying it and it will come true. 

     10. Amber Run - I found -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj6V_a1-EUA

• Just love it, love the sound

So I guess this turned out to be top 10 artists?? Although I do not know if that is the case. Secret Garden, Orchestra music, piano, all of those hit my all time favs list. Then you have my die hards Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Josh Groban, and this list goes on and on also. Love music. Seems to be a theme for us.
