Music Monday Flu

Today I was hit with a strange strain of the flu, that knock me down throughout the day. Made up of mostly pain and exhaustion rolled into a deadly burrito I don't remember eating. I won't bore you with the details, but it sucks balls. 

Most of the day was my willpower doing the talking. Now as lay here with my limbs heating up I can hear my heart in my ear and sounds like music. My heart telling me music heals and so I listen.

I wanted to share some of the stuff that I found that moved me and made me feel better for a awhile.

For the lover of a laugh:

Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and Carly Jae Jensen

"Call Me Maybe"

* Warning this song is highly addictive.*

I love how much fun they all had with the classroom instruments. This was taken in "one take" before the show in Carly's dressing room. Love this version better than the original.

For the hopeless romantic:
Issac Lamb's "Best Proposal Ever"
I'm sure you all have seen this, but it is so clever I had to show it again.

For the pirate in you:
"Ray: A life underwater"
This is a real life pirate, he even has the voice!
Who would not love to spend their days looking for treasure..

For the tree-hugger:
Xavier Rudd

"Follow the Sun"

this just moves me and makes me happy

For the lover of hands:
The Art of Making Alma Flamenca
I love the way guitars are made and this one has a killer name

For the lover in me:
Ani Difranco "Lifeboat"
I can't say enough about how she makes me feel, so just listen

Now I will take a swim into a cup of crimson flu juice that promises some good shut eye...
Enjoy!
