6 Pictures from 6 Albums

Posted on by

Recently, a friend of mine sent me something on Facebook entitled “15 Albums.”  The object was to list out 15 albums that have profoundly impacted you at some point in your life.  Well, sure, this is a great exersize for anyone who is familiar with a variety of music genres, but I *know* I probably had some friends read my list and think, “Who? What? Huh?” 

So, because this is my own personal little virtual doodle pad, and I can do whatever I want to do here, I figured I’d recreate a shorter version of the list here and select one song (okay, that’s REALLY hard for some of these albums) and post it for you here.  I shooting for 5, but came back with 6.  Enjoy!! ;)

1) Imagine (John Lennon) “Imagine”

2) For Emma, Forever Ago (Bon Iver) “Flume”

3) Lungs (Florence + the Machine) “You’ve Got the Love”

4) Girls and Boys (Ingrid Michaelson) “Far Away”

5) Black Holes and Revelations (Muse) “Glorious”

6) Billion Dollar Babies (Alice Cooper) “Billion Dollar Babies”

The object of the game was to name off the 15 albums in 15 minutes, without really thinking about it all too much, but these six albums were really easy to come up with.  What would be your top album/song choices?

An Exception

So, usually, I hate covers. And by hate, I really mean passionately hate. However, there are a few covers out there that are amazing. Maybe it’s because I’m not an Elvis fan, or maybe it’s because I totally <3 anything that Ingrid Michaelson sings. I don't know, but this is certainly one of the best covers I’ve ever heard.

Here’s Ingrid Michaelson’s version of Can’t Help Falling In Love:

Musical Inspiration

Well, it’s no secret that I love Ingrid Michaelson’s work, and it’s also no secret I religiously listen to music when I write. I have to share this with you guys. It quickly became one of my favorite songs and recently provided some inspiration for me. I love how poetic this song is. Here’s a snippet of the lyrics:

I woke up this morning with a funny taste in my head.
Spackled some butter over my whole grain bread.
Something tastes different, maybe it’s my tongue.
Something tastes different, suddenly I’m not so young.
I’m just a stranger, even to myself.
A re-arranger of the proverbial bookshelf.

Here’s the song. Enjoy! :)
