I have a document with a list of my favourite modern songs in it, so this was an incredibly easy post to write. There are many older songs I enjoy as well, but I thought it would be a little more challenging to stick to the contemporary stuff (more or less) as I find it a bit harder to find good music these days.
(This is something I may or may not be grumbling about a little next week. Ha!)
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
– Brave by Sarah Bareilles
Many mighty ships are sinking
Many stars are falling down
And I count it as a blessing
That you hold me up now
– Beautiful by Mali Music
We all talk having greens, but none of us own acres
If none of us own acres, and none of us grow wheat
Then who will feed our people when our people need to eat?
– Reagan by Killer Mike
Fortune’s flame will never dim
Treasure stokes the fire within
Bring on hell or waters high
We will sail against the tide
– Against the Tide (The Captain’s Tarantella) by Sail North
Ooh, I like these, but especially “Against the Tide”!
