Wow. This list came a lot easier than I thought it would. I didn't think I'd put up the second 50 so soon after the first.
Of course, this list will go on and on (just like Celine's heart). I don't think I'll put out a third list just yet, though. This process could truly never end. I love music so much. I knew that, of course, but really realized in making these lists just how much music has shaped my life, my personality and my love. Where (or who?) would I be without it?
There are so many other songs from these artists and others that strike a chord and touch my heart and soul. I hope that if you're reading these blogs, you've perhaps been taken on a journey through some of your most favorite songs. And if I could introduce you to a new song or artist that you end up loving, then great!
Now, I'll be interested to see if my favorite songs have any similiarities. Like, key, time signature... or the fact that so many of them are love power ballads with key changes?!? I am such a sappy romantic!
Remember to check out the video that inspired this whole explorative project about the man in the nursing home who's brought to life by hearing the music that he loves.
May we be eager to love and be loved each and every day!
Happy Easter; Hallelujah!
