Music Post Pick Me Up

I needed something to change my mood today. So I decided to write a music based blog post. Two of my favorite things. Plus it has been about six months since my last music based post. It was time to share some music with you.

First song up is “Never be a Right Time” by Tom Grennan. Right now, my second daughter and I jam out to this song in the car. This is one of the wonderful aspects of life, sharing a song with someone. A song that both of you light up to when those first notes start. Right now, this is ours.

Second song is a personal classic. My best friend and I are creating our top 100 songs of all time. We are having a hard time deciding on what format the final list should be presented in because we both have songs that are not available on streaming services. We have the cassettes or CDs copies of the songs, but to burn CDs for the final 100 songs would take some time. Now, YouTube does have some of the songs… but not all of them… but it does have one of the songs I want on my list… from 1987 Saga, “Only Time Will Tell”!

The third track is a song my daughter introduced me to, and it just makes me feel good when I hear it. And that’s what this post is about. Lily Mae Harrington, “TGTBT”.

And the last track for this post is not as ‘happy’ but that is OK. My mom and I would share music with each other over the years. One artist we both love is Teitur. When I visited my dad this summer, he was playing music in the living room. As we got settled he asked if I remembered how mom and I loved Teitur. He then switched the music to his first album (which I had given my mom as a Christmas gift). 

I could tell he had been listening to music to help with the pain of losing his wife, his best friend. Music is one way we build connections with people. Music takes us back to moments in our lives. Music helps us in so many ways… Here is “Rough Around the Edges” by Teitur. (Yes, in my top 100 of all time!)

Enjoy the music today!

  1. Thank you for sharing some good vibes with us, Jamey.
    Apart from the Saga song, it was all new tracks for me.
    Though I enjoyed them all, ‘Rough Around The Edges’ picked me up best, today.

    Side note:
    I don’t know if it is a regional issue, but I could not access the Teitur video you shared in the post (“video unavailable”). As you had shared the title of the song and the name of the artist, I could find a video I could access, though.

    • You knew the Saga song! That is awesome. I looked into the Teitur video and could not find anything that would specifically cause that error. Sorry about that.

      • I even remembered the movie scene in the video, though I don’t remember its name.

        Good that the Teitur video works on your end. Then it’s probably a regional issue. The authorities guarding the copyright (and collecting money for that) can be a bit … overzealous … here.
