So my beautiful best friend was going to post a song every day for 30 days as a way to prompt herself to write in her blog more. But she stopped posting at day 11. I expect this is because she has a life and it snuck up on her.
And I thought it was a cool idea. But to be honest, I happen to know that I can't write in a blog daily. Or weekly. Sometimes I can't write monthly. And certainly not about the same thing. So I decided to cheat. Because, you know, I can. So instead of making 30 posts, I am going to put all thirty songs in one post, and then if you just come back to this post and listen to 1 song per day, you will have 30 days worth of songs! Great plan huh? Its actually driven by my need for each post to be about one idea. When you all steal this idea, you still have to do it one post per song. Unless you have a good reason that you can't articulate very well not to, like I do...

Day 01: Your favourite song
Shimmer by Fuel
Day 02: Your least favourite song
Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus
Its ok, you don't have to listen to this one. I am right there with you.
Day 03: A song that makes you happy
They can't take that away by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
Day 04: A song that makes you sad
The green fields of france by the Fureys
There are many renditions of this song. I love the Dropkick Murphys and they do a great version too. But my favourite version is the Fureys one, because they play it sad and slow and sweet, and the heavier Irish accent makes it feel more conversational.

Nothing to prove by Carolines Spine
Day 06: A song that reminds you of somewhere
What's going on by Four non blondes
Day 07: A song that reminds you of a certain event

Shake it by Metro Station
It isn't my usual genre, it isn't up to my usual standards of lyrical content, but it makes me smile.
Day 14: A song that no one would expect you to love
Have yourself a merry little christmas by Frank Sinatra
I like christmas carols. As a general rule though, I hate christmas songs. Generally I find them tacky and obnoxious. In fact, I hate other versions of this song. But I do love a little Sinatra... Somehow he makes this song into a good song, in my opinion.
