Suzanne's Soundtrack Sunday
I know, I know. Long time readers are scratching their heads, figuring I was done with the Sunday music posts. It's time to resurrect this topic, because I like being able to prepare what I'll write about. Especially now that there will be three classes and a job to occupy most of my time!
A friend started doing the 30 Day Song Challenge on Facebook last month and well, I had to do it. It was a meme with a twist, asking participants to name a song that reminded them of an event, a song that made them happy, guilty, or a song that they listened to when angry.
It inspired a lot of thought. Some of the selections were tough. I really couldn't come up with one for guilty until Ed told me what his was (he took the challenge, too). In this space, I'd mentioned that we had three songs with the designation "Our Song." I posted one, he posted another. (We selected the same song to be played at our funeral) Some of the choices might not have been so difficult, if only I'd thought to peruse the archives of SSS to see what musings I'd had on the topics.
The list:
day 01 - your favorite song
October Project, Take Me As I Am
day 02 - your least favorite song
Celine Dion, My Heart Will Go On
day 03 - a song that makes you happy

It is an eclectic list, as I'd pledged at the beginning of the challenge. Sometimes, there were three or four songs that would have fit the bill perfectly. The challenge asked that you post YouTube videos for the songs to share, but in the interests of space and loading times, I'm not placing them here.
However, if something interests you, I promise if you cut and paste a title in You Tube, you'll probably get the version that was posted to my wall. It's almost like having a Suzanne jukebox.
What about you? Did you or are you going to participate in the challenge?
