Music Monday

Welcome to another edition of Music Monday! There are two songs I'm spotlighting this week:

"The Face" by Kings of Leon

I love everything about this song, especially the beat. And lead singer Caleb Followill has one of those distinctive voices that meshes with the beat and makes the song one big powerful hit of awesomeness.

"Parting Words" (from the LOST soundtrack) by Michael Giacchino

This was another piece I discovered through the Young Artists Showcase. I was looking for other videos of Garrett Kling's choreography and found this. I was a faithful fan of the show LOST and loved some of the score but had never looked up the soundtrack. It's a beautiful piece of music and another one I'd love to see used in a competitive skating program.

Tell me what songs you're obsessed with this week!

Music Monday

Hi there! Since my blog has a shiny new look (courtesy of IM Designs), I thought I'd start a new posting schedule. First up is Music Monday! I love all kinds of music and am always looking for new artists and new inspiration for my writing. Every Monday, I'll post my current song obsessions, and I want you to share yours, too! This week, there are two songs I've been listening to on repeat:

"Rainy Zurich" by The Fray

I'm a huge fan of The Fray, and this song from their latest album, Scars and Stories, is one of my favorites. I particularly love the line "You are what I never knew I needed." Lines like that serve as great inspiration when I'm writing romantic moments in my stories!

"On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter

I discovered this piece of music when I watched Garrett Kling's Week 5 entry (which is GORGEOUS) in the Young Artists Showcase. I found it so beautiful and so perfect for skating. I'd love to see it used for a competitive program.
