99 Cents at a Time

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." ~Berthold Auerbach

I love music......all music really. I listen to a little bit of everything. And I have been buying several new songs lately on iTunes. Well, I forget that you have to pay for that stuff!! I know it's just 99 cents a time (or some of the newer songs are 1.29 per time....darn inflation!) but when you don't think about it and just buy every song you like on the radio, it can add up. So, I'm grounded for a while. (Luckily, one of the Oklahoma Girls is making me a cd with all of her Miranda Lambert songs....I'm totally into her right now! Of course, I have been for a while since her guitarist helped me get a check mark.)

Anyway, I figured I'd share my latest 10 purchases. I'd love it if you guys would share your current favorites so that when I unground myself, I have a list of new songs ready to buy! :) You can click on the links below for a listen if you're interested.

1. Airplanes (BOB feat. Hayley Williams)....you've probably heard this all over the radio. Favorite line: Could we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now!"

2. Jesus I am Resting, Resting (Various Artists) Great old worship song that was played at church here recently. Favorite line: Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of what Thou art.

3. Wild and Young (American Bang) Awesome song about living and loving and being young! Favorite line: What you in a hurry for? Slow it down. We are wild and young and we have just begun!

4. Ridin' Solo (Jason Derulo) I have probably played this 100 times in the last two weeks since I discovered it...great single anthem! Favorite line: I'm feelin' like a star, you can't stop my shine. Lovin' cloud nine my head's in the sky!

5. Cooler than Me (Mike Posner) Love this one on the running playlist....I think it's funny! Favorite line: I used up all of my tricks I hope that you like this but you probably won't you think you're cooler than me.

6. One Woman (Randy Rogers Band) A girl has to have some red dirt country!! Favorite line: One woman, you for me. I know that you're all I ever need. Forever beside you spending my life loving one woman.

7. Haven't Met You Yet (Michael Buble) Sigh. Where is this boy in my life? Favorite line: I know someday that it will all turn out....I promise you kid that I'll give so much more than I'll get, I just haven't met you yet!

8. Airstream Song (Miranda Lambert) Love love love it! Thanks to one of the Oklahoma Girls who sent me this as a ring tone for my new phone. Favorite line: Sometimes I wish I lived on a mountain, drank from a stream instead of a fountain, I'd stay there on top of the world, but I was born a red dirt girl! (And I got in a fight about this, but I do consider myself a red dirt girl--may not have been born there, but it's home too!)

9. Heavenly Day (Patty Griffin) You can hear this if you unmute your computer as you read my blog! My friend Mettie introduced me to this over the weekend and I love it! Favorite line: All that we really have to do is have ourselves a heavenly day, lay here and watch the trees sway.....

10. So Are You to Me (Eastmountainsouth) What can I say? It's wedding season and I'm sappy! Favorite line: As the wind blows over the plains, so are you to me.
