day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument
Failure by Laura Marling
I play piano and guitar so I guess I can play a lot of songs but my favourite to sing/play is this song. So cute and fun. If you do actually want to hear me…my Canadian posted this mp3 awhile back of me singing Blue by Joni Mitchell…I hadn’t played the piece in ages at this point so there’s a lot of halting…but..if you want to listen, there it is!

day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral
This is a total cop-out but I honestly have no idea. I’ll leave that to my sister, I know she’d make a good choice.

day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding
“But For Now” by Jamie Cullum.
I would love my first dance with my husband to be to this song. Please ignore the cheesy video.

day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad
Here’s Where I Stand by Tiffany Taylor, from the movie Camp
I like to sing when I’m sad. This is a really powerful moment in the movie and I always love to sing it when something has upset me.

day 19 - a song from your favorite album
Magic by Ben Folds Five
AHHH these “favourite” questions are so absurdly difficult but The Unauthorized Biography of Reihnold Messner is one of the best albums on a whole I’ve ever listened to. Listen to it from beginning to end. You’ll see what I mean and you won’t regret it.

day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio

Heavy On My Mind by Back Door Slam

This is a band that needs a lot more play in the States. Davy Knowles is an incredible guitarist and song writer!!

day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio
Circus by Britney Spears
uhhhh….the last time I listened to music on the radio was probably in about 8th grade (I really listen only to npr on the radio…) but I’m pretty sure this song was on the radio a lot (and I secretly love it…).
