Thankful Playlist

I am thankful for all that I have. God has blessed me with many amazing people whom constantly surround me with all the LOVE I need. I am also thankful for the music that calms my soul, adds a special moment to my day. Go relax to these tunes!

I have created a playlist on Grooveshark for this particular post.  It is easy to set up an account and you can just hit play.  :)  Search: I'm thankful for and then click the playlists tab, it should say by reynemw.  Let me know if you have any problems. You can also search me: reynemw and look at all of my playlists. I make one for every post.

1. Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova (Swell Season)--"Falling Slowly
From the movie "Once" and incredibly touching.


2. Brand New--"Tautou"
Interesting video, but awesome nonetheless


3. Copeland--"Testing the Strong Ones"
This video is NOT by Copeland, but the song is. I just wanted you to be able to listen :)


4. This Providence--"Catching my Breath"
I am totally falling in love with them!


5. LIGHTS--"Ice"
She is amazing!


6. Snow Patrol--"Open Your Eyes"
Watch VIDEO Here
You tube wouldn't let me embed it, beautiful!

7. Owl City "Tip of the Iceberg"
One of my absolute favorite songs right now, perfect winter song. :)


8. Further Seems Forever--"Snowbirds and Townies"
Watch video HERE
This is from the album "The Moon Is Down" (one of my all time fave albums). I love the song and the video. They are now broken up and every album they recorded had a different lead singer. This song it is Chris Carraba (most commonly known as Dashboard Confessional)...he is amazing on this album, trust me!


I am going to go ahead and end it there.  Hope you enjoyed it, I know it was kind of random but that is how I choose my songs ha ha ha...I just go with it!

so much to choose from playlist

I started posting a lot of music suggestions on Facebook, one of my friends commented that I should be hired as a music encourager.  Thanks Bev, I thought that was a good idea.  I decided that it could be fun to just start writing about the music I love and maybe it could help someone else like it helps me.
Let me know if you like it!

Generally I get very overwhelmed when I go to decided what to listen to, there is so much to choose from!!
I am just going to start with some stuff that I have discovered recently.  One website that has been very helpful to me is Grooveshark.  You can create playlists, choose from an amazing variety, listen to the entire song, and upload a library to share.  As you are listening they provide a link for you to download the MP3 on ITUNES or AMAZON.  This will be a very helpful way for you to check out some of my suggestions.
