57/335 Genesis- Follow You Follow Me

I loved this song when I first heard it back in High School. I know it was very much over played but, I still love it. Back then I did not think of it as God love song but now...things are different.

In your arms I feel so safe and so secure... every day is such a perfect day to spend alone with you...the night is long but you are here...all my fears go drifting by me so slowly now...in the dark I can see so very clearly now ...and while I live I will follow you if you'll follow me.

56/365 Jr Murvin Police and Thieves

This was one of the first Reggae songs I heard when I was about 18 or 19 yrs old. Working downtown at the BOT, we were done at 3, so we wandered around downtown Chicago discovering new things, places and people. We happened upon a band paying reggae when I heard this song...

55/365 Regina Spector-Laughing at God

Heard this on WXRT in the car on the way to Michigan with Andrew. He seemed to know a lot about this artist. I of course love her. She reminds me of a modern day Russian Carly Simon.

54/365 Three Dog Night-I've Never Been to Spain

Windows rolled down, Edens expressway, singing loudly is how I experienced this song today on the way back from a food pick up. I was reminded of my Dad's album collection which included Dog's Live at the Forum. This song was actually not on that album, but I love it none the less.

53/365 Mavis Staples Keep Ypor Eye on the Prize

This post is in honor of Mavis Staples 70th birthday. With Keep Your Eye on the Prize her powerful, soulful voice communicates how growth and change comes out of steadfastness. Yhe video shows how far we have come-but not without oppression followed by standing up for what is right no matter what the norm was at the time.

52/365 Brett Dennen-Ain't no Reason

There is a powerful message in this song. There is no reason except human nature as to why we live the way we live in futile efforts to have more, live longer, be the best. We think we will "win" and be happy and satisfied. Its a trap. Is there not something deeper, bigger than ourselves and our immediate families to work toward? Something that will truly satisfy our inner selves? Love will set us free I do believe...

51/365 grace Potter and the Nocternals

Obviously influenced by my fav of all time Bonnie Raitt, Grace Potter sings with heart and emotion. I love the way the band rocks! I heard her last week on Annie's Ipod while we were mudding and sanding the walls of a house in NOLA. Baby treat me right.
