Day 2 - Your least favorite song

30 Day Music Challenge

Picking my least favorite song has proved to be as thought-provoking as picking my favorite. Sure, I could make it easy and go with anything from the types of music I'm not particularly fond of: punk rock, rap, heavy metal ... anything that screams or talks about poking nails in your eyes (I think you get my point). But, I believe this challenge would be more interesting (and less overwhelming) to find my least favorite song from songs that I would actually listen to.

With that said, this is the song that now comes to mind ... I Will Survive. Gloria Gaynor brought us many great songs, but in 1978 I Will Survive hit the charts. I have nothing against Gloria Gaynor ... and when I listen to her version now I don't even really 'hate' it, I just don't care for it very much. Maybe it has something to do with ... and I swear this is true ... after every breakup I experienced in my late teens/early twenties, this song would find its way to the radio. Ahhh, fond memories ...

I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor



I have heard another version of this song in recent years that brings my mildly tolerant attitude for Gloria Gaynor's version into a full-blown 'I can't possibly listen to this song one more minute' state of being. And that's CAKE's version of I Will Survive ... I have nothing against CAKE ... I just don't like their low-key monotone droning on when they sing it (I know this will disappoint some peeps in my house, sorry!).

It's funny how excited I have been to begin this challenge ... only to find myself stumped by the first day! There are so many different types of music I enjoy, how can I possibly narrow it down to just one great song? Picking one favorite is so definitive. So, while my one favorite may elude me ... I will leave you with a few songs that I never tire of, can listen to no matter the mood I'm in and always brings about the comfort of 'coming home.'

I listen to this song a lot ... I love the rhythm and bluesy sound of Norah Jones. I would call this my relaxin' and chillin' song.

Turn Me On by Norah Jones




This next song is my 'I'm ready to face the world' song, not so much in the words but the music itself makes me feel strong and empowered ... plus, who can deny it's just a really great song!

Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd




This song is currently on the radio and I think I love it so much because its melody is light and easy like walking around in a daydream ... plus I just love the drums in it.

Rhythm of Love by Plain White T's

30 Day Music Challenge

I found this 30 Day Challenge roaming around the blog world and thought I'd give it a try. Music is such a big part of everyone's life ... we all have that in common. But, the collection of songs we listen to are as personal and unique as each of us. Just pick up anyone's iPod today and this is quite obvious.

Though this challenge may prove to be daunting at times, I hope to share a bit of myself through the music that has been instrumental throughout the journey of my life.

 If you choose to do the 30 Day Music Challenge, too, please let me know so I can follow your blog!
