Music Mondays: 80s Nostalgia Edition

I got a little distracted this weekend and instead of driving myself to get back on track with all the writing and editing and cleaning I've not done over the last month and half, I wound up doing everything else, along with some nostalgic indulgence in the form of Transformers (G1).

And it kind of kickstarted an 80s soundtrack playlist.

What are some of your favorite 80s movie songs?


1. Transformers Theme - Mute Math
2. Take My Breath Away - Berlin (Top Gun)
3. Holding Out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler (Short Circuit 2)
4. People Are Strange - Echo and the Bunnymen (The Lost Boys) 
5. Cry Little Sister - Gerard McMann (The Lost Boys)

(Okay, I cheated a bit since this is the '00s movie version and not the original series.)

Music Mondays: Autumn Equinox Edition

The days are already growing shorter, but after the 22nd of September, they'll be even shorter still, the sun steadily growing paler and weaker as we head toward the depths of winter.

We're in the death of the year. It's no wonder my thoughts turn toward somewhat nostalgic tunes.

What are your favorite autumnal songs?



1. November Rain - Guns N Roses
2. The Four Seasons: Autumn - Vivaldi
3. Yesterday - The Beatles
4. Silver Inches - Enya
5. Dust In the Wind - Sarah Brightman

Music Mondays: September Edition

 

This weekend gave me a little taste of what's to come: a quick, harsh rain storm followed by a cool front coupled with a breeze and the smell of woodsmoke on the air.

Fall is on its way in. And while I love the colors and shades it brings - violent bursts of color on the trees, the goldenrod shade of sunlight through falling leaves, lengthening shadows - and I can't say I'll miss some of the sweltering heat we've had this summer, I'm not quite ready for the descent into winter.

But the season does bring some good music to mind... Here's my playlist for this week.



1. Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
2. Si Bheag, Si Mhor - Turlough O'Carolan
3. Here With Me - Sarah Brightman
4. Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
5. One By One - Enya
