Flyleaf - "All Around Me"

In the spirit of seeing the midnight showing of New Moon last night and just because I love this song, this week's pick is "All Around Me" by Flyleaf. This song should be on the soundtrack to one of the Twilight movies. It is perfect. Along with anything by Evanescence. And since Stephenie Meyers loves Muse so much, and because they are awesome, they should thrown in a little of them too.

Watch the video.
Watch the trailer.
Watch a hilarious spoof.

Shania Twain - "You're Still the One"

Wow. Sorry for the two months of Styx.

This week's pick should have been the pick one month ago. Husband and I celebrated our anniversary in October. This tune by Shania should have been our wedding song. I am not a Shania fan AT ALL, and as I have previously mentioned I'm not a huge country fan either, but the lyrics to this one fit my marriage perfectly, all cheesyness included. I really can't help but think of Husband and the feelings surrounding our wedding day when I hear this song.

Thus, it has made my life soundtrack. Under any other circumstances it most definitely would not have.

Read the lyrics.
Seriously, could have been written about us.
Boy, am I glad "we didn't listen" either.

Styx - "Come Sail Away"

This week's pick is in honor of our much needed vacation. Tomorrow morning I am going on a cruise with Husband.

Bon Voyage!

Beyonce - "Halo"

Remember this performance on So You Think You Can Dance? Well, I LOVED it. It just made me happy. And I have been in love with the song ever since. It is just pure joy.

I am unsure if I'm a Beyonce fan or not. My first reaction is no (nothing against her, just not my style), but then there are a bunch of her songs that I do really like. So...I'm not sure. All I know is I am a fan of this song.

Enjoy!

Aerosmith - "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing"

In the spirit of this post on my other blog, this week's pick is "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith. This song has new meaning to me now that I am a momma. Every word describes how I feel. My kids are growing up so fast and I don't want to miss one moment of it.

Aerosmith is easily one of my all time favorite bands and one of the best bands of all time. I was incredibly lucky to see them perform in my (and their) hometown of Boston, MA. Let me tell you, that concert was incredible. Over three hours long and every second was amazing. One of the best memories of my life.

So here's one of my all time favorite songs (that I have dubbed my life's theme song) by one of my all time favorite bands.

Enjoy!

Hellogoodbye - "Oh, It Is Love"

Husband sent me a little email the other day with a link to this song. It made him think of me and that completely made my day.

I don't really know anything about this band or this song, just that I like it and it will now always remind me of my husband. If I had some more time right now I would find some more info, but I'm going to go have an at-home-date with my hubby. Honestly, I'd rather do that...

Enjoy!

Mom Song

While trying to find a pick of the week this week, this came to mind.
