The most famous cover of Let's stay together...

While I was doing the post of songs covered by different singers/folks, I forgot to post this one.

 

President Obama's version though it is only very short.



Music...

While I was driving to work the other day, I had realized that my drive is now short that the distance to my destination is only one full song. I guess a song about 4 1/2 minutes long depending on whether I hit green or red lights on the intersection.

So on my drive home, I tested it and I was correct, one song and I was going down to my parkade at home. Mind you I only have two intersections with lights and it is a different way when I go to work because of all the one way streets in downtown.

I should just walk but I find it is still a bit cold and I hate walking with heavy coat, once I can just wear light jackets, I should be walking all the time. 

Two of the songs I was listening driving to work and going home.

 

Kelly Sweet's Raincoat

 

Matt Bianco's Hanging On

 



Talent......

I was reading a good and very close friend's blog and he uploaded a song from a Filipino singer and it is one of my favorite songs.

There are so many talented people around and it seems like there are a great number of singers from the Philippines who are really good.

So every now and then I will feature them and readers will hear them and maybe like them and can go on Youtube and listen to some of their other songs.

The first one is a song by Basil Valdez "You". I hope you enjoy it.



Radio playlist.....

Since I have been listening to the radio when I am driving, I am posting a few of the songs I have heard lately. I listen to FM 107.9 which is commercial free most of the time. A bit of news here and there, the weather, traffic and mostly music.



These are not my fave but just music that are ok to listen to when driving, won't put you to sleep for sure.

My play list..............

It had been a while since I posted about music. Lately, I have been listening to a radio station on my way to work and they play Top 40 songs. I find it amazing that the songs sound familiar and I have no clue of the titles. So even if I want to post some of the songs I like...I have no idea how to get them....don't know the singer either.

So I will post old classics I listen to once in a while.



My playlist.....

These are music I listen at home.



Driving playlist......

One of these two songs is the only song I will sing when I am with my sister and she is almost forcing me to sing. I don't really sing even if my life depended on it. This is usually when we are driving. And these were songs from when we were in college/university.



My driving playlist....

On my drive to work, I can listen to just two songs and depending on whether I get all green lights on the intersections, I may not even finish the second song and I am alrady in the parking lot. Depending on which song, I sometimes would sit there and let the song finish before I get out of my vehice.



Music of my generation

The music below was popular when I was in high school and just heard the end of the song on the radio awhile back and just had to look it up.  So for those readers my age...I hope it will bring back all kinds of memories. Listen and enjoy.

Music of our generation

While looking for songs in Youtube, I have come across this song which was popular during my teenage years. Bands in Manila liked to cover songs and most of the time it is the version we heard most times that I don't even know who sang the original version.

It brings a lot of memories, reminds me of a certain friend or classmates and what activities we enjoyed doing and the fun times we had. This is just one song and this is the version we were familiar with. This band produced a number of great singers who are still popular in the Philippines.

This is the original recording from the 70's so the sound is not as good but it is the memory that it brings that is important to me.
