It took a minute but the soundtrack for December is now up. It took me a minute to find some songs I really wanted to share with everyone but I am happy with the three I picked.
I am actually going to do them in the order which I picked the songs. Just something different this month.
The first song I knew for sure I would want on my player was 'Did It Again' by Shakira. It really is a non-brainer. I mean, I like Shakira and the song is produced by Pharrell of the Neptunes. That to me is like a guaranteed shoe-in. One of the things I really dig about the song is the very well choreographed video. The scene of Shakira play fighting with her partner (a known b-boy) works well and as we all know Shakira is my first choice to play Zafina and this video (and others) proves she can do all those crazy moves Zafina does so well.
'Flowers' by Crystal Kay was my second choice. I always loved this song by her and I feel even through I can't understand what she is saying I can feel the emotion in this song. Ironically, my wife recently got Crystal Kay's Greatest Hits on a 2 disc set but this song wasn't on it but to me it is one of her best songs.
The final choice is 'Samson' by Regina Spektor. I actually knew of this song for a pretty long time, dating back to when I lived in Australia (which feels like a lifetime ago). However I recently got Regina's cd from Lane (note to self, write that blog about Lane before end of year) and re-discovered how much I like this song. It's funny I now actually have long hair and of course Samson is in reference to the Bible story about Samson and his hair, I however liked this song when I didn't have long hair through, lol. Oh and yes, the title of this blog is inspired by 'Samson' as well.
Well that's it.
Enjoy!
