Her Whim IS Law, You Know

Betsy has tagged me with a new one.  She knows I'm a sucker for music memes.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.

Just Might Make Me Believe-Sugarland:  But if you look in my eyes/And tell me we'll be all right/If you promise never to leave/You just might make me believe.  The first time I heard this song I just started crying and it's happened more than once since.  I think it's because I doubt I'll ever feel like that again.  Of course, I'm not sure I ever really did, so maybe that's why I cry.  My neuroses contain mulititudes.

A Love That Will Never Grow Old-Emmylou Harris: I downloaded this after hearing just a snippet at the Golden Globe awards (it won).  Still haven't seen the movie but the song is so beautiful.

Bring it on Home-Little Big Town:  I love songs with good harmonies and this group, with two men and two women, has great ones. 

Kerosene-Miranda Lambert:   I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me.  Ha.  Even more cynical than I am, and she's only 22.

Baby Likes to Rock It-The Tractors:  I heard this song for the first time in a dog's age just yesterday, and it caused an eruption of spontaneous dancing.  Any song that can make that happen in my current permagrumpy state rocks the house.

Pride and Joy-Stevie Ray Vaughn:  If you need to know why, just go listen to it.

It's 5:00 Somewhere-Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett:  Because I'm always looking for justification for cocktail time.

I'm just going to throw it out there and see if seven of you will take it up.  Hell, as infrequently as I'm posting these days, I'd be surprised if there are still seven people reading, so y'all feed my starving ego and prove me wrong.

Oh Terrilynn, all I am listening to these days is NPR. Very sad, no ? I couldn't honestly name one current song, let alone seven.

"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt---This one makes me cry, for reasons you will understand perfectly.

Hey you - I'm still here... but Betsy tagged me too. :) Sugarland... I really need to grab that album from iTunes, though I'm bummed to hear that Kristen Hall has left the group - I hope she actually keeps her solo career going 'cause I *miss* her... Fact and Fiction was a fabulous album that figures prominently in my life soundtrack.

If I feed your ego by telling you that you are a strong and beautiful woman, will you let me off the hook from confessing all I'm listening to right now is James Taylor Live and Eminem?

Um, please? :-)

Ditto on Lisa V's comment - when I do on the rare occasion hear a song that I like I usually have 1) no idea of the title 2) no idea of the artist and 3) no idea if it is actually current. I am a music moron. But I can identify some classical and jazz.

Look! Eight comments! Eight! HA HA HA! I'll put this on my back burner for a blogger-block post.

That little Miranda Lambert has a great voice! I watched her with Buddy Jewel on the first Nashville Star. The only season I watched, but I am glad she is doing well. I had to go out and buy her cd.
