Cruise – My Song of the Summer

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

This song Cruise is my song of the summer. It reminds me of life pre-children, pre-husband, riding in my convertible up to the beach with my hair blowing and the music blaring. Now, of course, things are different, which does not mean worse, just different. Now, I get to roll in the minivan with my hand out the window because the air-conditioning is broken, and the music is blaring because the girls are fighting again and it drowns them out. Same diff, right? …

Cups – When I’m Gone

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

I love this song Cups sung by Anna Kendrick. It's just got this infectious beat to it and honestly, it's kind of a travelers anthem, don't you think? I can not tell a lie though, I could not figure out why it was called Cups until I saw the video. And now I get it. D'uh. I can't help but laugh at how she makes that little bit with the cup look so easy. I am so uncoordinated there would be injuries and cups flying everywhere if I attempted this. So, I'll leave the cups in the cupboard and just …

I love this song Beautiful so much, I can't stop listening to it. I love Mariah Carey's voice and whoever this guy Miguel is. Incredible, incredible song. I knew this had to be my song of the day and so I came home and searched out the video. And now my eyes are burning out of my freakin' head. Why Mariah? Why? Anyway, if you haven't heard this song, please do yourself a favour the first time round, and listen to it with your eyes closed. If you already love the song and haven't seen the …

I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

Sometimes doing the math on how old I was when a song was released it just depressing. Take, I Guess That's Why They Call it The Blues, for example. This song by Elton John was released in 1983. That's 30 years ago for the mathematically-challenged. Thirty freaking years! I was 13 at the time and loaded with teenage angst. I was in love with being in love and this song played to every emotion I had about what "real" love was supposed to be like. By the time this song was on a regular rotation …

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

Bye Bye Bye from N'Sync is on my mind this week and not because I'm pining for boy bands or anything like my friend Kellidaisy does.  Nope, I can't get the song out of my head because the snow is melting here and I just keep singing ...... I know that I can't take no more It ain't no lie I wanna see you out that door Baby, bye, bye, bye It's hard to believe it's Easter weekend with all the snow in my yard. Only the dog is truly enjoying it. And she's not very bright anyway. …
