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
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.

Added to my running playlist already and playing on a continuous loop this morning. Damn, what a great song! …
Summer Wind
Last night we went for dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant in Ottawa and Frank Sinatra came on. It wasn't long before everyone at our table, including the 7 and 9 year old were swaying along to the music. Very few artists can appeal to many generations like Frank can. His voice is like buttah!
