What's Your Song?
I can't sing.
Not even a little bit.
But, music speaks to me.
Certain songs take me right back to a memory from long ago. Other songs make me cry every time I hear them.
And then there are songs that make me smile, make me sing, make me dance.
So, I'm joining in with Goodnight Moon today to share one of those types of songs.
With lines like "Sunshine gonna wash my blues away" and "the only worry in the world
is the tide gonna reach my chair," I am loving "Knee Deep" by Zac Brown Band. If you haven't heard it before, take a listen:
You have to smile when you listen to it, don't you?
What song are you loving right now?

Oh I love that song. I cannot sing either, but I still do. HA!
absolutely love this song and miss this lifestyle
Right now it's Katy Perry's last Friday night--so fun!
Great songs!
I can't sing at all! The only time I sound "really good" is when I am in my car all alone with the music so loud I can't even hear myself.
I'm kind of lovin' anything Josh Turner right now...
That's a good one, but then I tend to love anything ZBB...Toes... Whatever it is... Chicken Fried... you kind of can't go wrong!
that's a great song!!!!
I have been loving Moneygrabber by Fitz and the Tantrums and Uncharted by Sara Barellis. Both great summer songs :)
Great pic.
The song that makes me smile the most is Ayer by Flo Rida. Only because my kids sing it with all the wrong words and they go back and forth, sharing the turn at singing and it just absolutely makes me smile.
Love that song!!
I am not familiar with Zac Brown band. I know, what's wrong with me? But that is a fun song! I do love Kir's choices above. Those are 2 of my favorite songs right now. I can't really think what my feel good song is right now. I know this sounds weird but I love belting out Rolling in the Deep by Adele. Paige loves to sing it along with me too! It gets all of my frustrations out. I guess that could be my feel good song. I swear that it is always on the radio here. Bulletproof by La Roux. is a good song too. I did a dance in a vlog once to it. =)
I feel like I have the same connection to music. It can make me so happy or make me cry. I am not too bad of a singer but really I wouldn't care if I wasn't! LOL!
Great song! Love the Zac Brown Band--especially the one they do with Alan Jackson.
I dont love country music but I think I have heard a song or 2 from them when I was with my mom
I love ZBB! Actually went to a concert not too long ago. When I was having natural child birth this was the song I had in my head as well as a beach in Puerto Rico! Great song!
I love the them! Great song! One Republic's new song...I totally love, but I love anything by them!
Such a cheery song! Love it!
Some people seem to think I can sing. I don't always agree.
My list of favorite songs isn't short, but the one that always puts a smile on my face is The Clarks version of Wonderful World.
I was seriously considering this song or the Pina Colada Song because I need a vacation to a tropical island -they both remind me of a tropical vacation.!! Love this song!
Love Zac Brown band! I'm the same way...Can't sing a lick but love my music. Amazing how a song can take you back or to another place.
Haven't heard of Zach Brown band but am loving Carrie Underwood's How Great thou art. Love her voice!
ZBB could sing the phone book and it would make me happy! I love them.
I *still* adore the song Toes -- especially since my 4-year-old sings it as "toes in the water, ANTS in the sand." ;)
What a great song!
During hard times, for some reason U2 always speaks to me. Bad, Walk On, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own.
I love Zac Brown Band. They always have great summer songs. I'm also loving Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthemn." But my all time favorite song is Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light".
We turn music on every morning once we are all up. It seems to start the days off in a much happier place.
I love that song too. I am wondering why I don't have ANY ZBB on my ipod. Must fix that.
Currently I am listening to a lot of Pat Green. My favorite being "Wave on Wave.
When I am feeling low I listen to Natalie Merchant. I think she got me through my divorce a few years back!!
I've never heard this song - but it's awesome!
I totally can't sing either!
Love that song though (and do sing along to whenever I am alone - or just with the kids)
I cannot sing either. But I love me some Zac Brown. I can't pick just one song, but I'll tell you Chicken Fried, Water by Brad Paisley, and You are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne.
I can't sing either, but I love to. My MIL is always saying that when her and I get to Heaven (um, hopefully not at the same time)that the first thing we're going to do is join a choir, because everyone makes fun of how poorly we sing!
I love the Zac Brown Band though- esp. that song!!
Don't laugh (or do) but I've really been enjoying "Fat Bottomed Girls" lately.
I love the Zac Brown band!!! Right now I'm loving the song "price tag" by Jesse J and B.O.B
"It's not about the money, money, money,!" lol
I think I love it because my girls always bust out dancing when they hear it....
Oh, and I'm also loving Plain White T's ~ Rhythm of Love!! It's a "make you smile" song for sure!! Great post idea!!
I bought the ZBB CD shortly after seeing them in concert. It hasn't left my car and anytime someone gets in I make them listen to the song and say isn't this the perfect summer song?!
Boys of Summer by Don Henley - There is something about that song that means summertime and wind blowing through my hair...love it!
LOVE this song!! Love Jimmy Buffett...his songs are so carefree. Sing your heart out Shell!! :)
I'm not much of a country music fan, but I've heard a few Zac Brown Band songs, and they're pretty good :)
I really like what the ZBB puts out. I also like Jason Aldean's newest My Kind of Party--it reminds me of being young and partying in the boonies. I also like his song Dirt Road Anthem.
I'm another one who can't sing but loves lyrics! I'm a new follower through the link-up!
Love that song, such a great summer song too!
I am a Huge "Whip It" fan, always picks me up!
Right now my song is "Wild Horses" by Natasha Bedington. It perfectly describes me.
I'm always jammin' in my minivan. I'm going to admit this to you Ms. Shell... this song came on the other day and I HAD to crank it up because it reminds me of high school...but Sweet Home Alabama. (should I have backspaced on that?)
I love so many songs. Right now I am belting out Carey by Joni Mitchell. "Come on DOWN to the Mermaid Cafe and I will BUY you a bottle of WINE!"
Hmmm...I'm totally loving Jason Aldean's newest song, but can't for the life of me think of the name of it. The one where he sings about riding the dirt roads? It gives me a little piece of home in Alabama since we are so FAR away from anything resembling a dirt road.
I couldn't sing on tune if my life depended on it! I am so off key!
I have never heard that song before...made me want to escape to a tropical beach! :)
I have been loving Lada Gaga lately...her songs are just so peppy and I need that. I love Pink's Perfect (I think that's the name)...it speaks volumes to me right now!
I am with you girl on the songs taking you back. I love that I can relate so much to a song. Might not know the words completely but the song takes me back immediately.
I can't sing either, but to my daughter I can belt out Wheels on the Bus perfectly!
Right now, I'm loving Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine show.
IMHO this is the perfect song for you to have in your brain right now. With all you've been blogging about lately it is easy to see why it appeals. Keep singing, mama!
Great song! I am very very very terrible in knowing the names of songs and/or artists. So, I won't embarrass myself by saying, "You know, that song that goes dum dee dum dum.")
My guilty pleasure is The Monkees. Now before you start singing: Last Train to Clarksville or Hey Hey We're The Monkees, you need to find and give a listen to, "Sometime in the Morning." *Swoon*
Completely crazy. I literally found that song yesterday on iTunes and DL-d it. Must have. So fun. I think I have too many of those kinds of songs, but I can't pick just one to represent. :)
All Summer Long. Kid Rock.
Juvenile, but true. It is the anthem of the backyard cocktail party in my 'hood.
Zac Brown Band is AWESOME!
Lynard Skynard "Sweet Home Alabama"...how can you NOT feel good hearing that song???
I LOVE this song! Jimmy Buffett is my all-time FAVE. And I'm falling in love with ZBB as well. We actually took our (at the time) 4-year-old daughter to a JB concert last year. Yep. :) Cowboy in the Jungle by JB is probably my favorite of his...if I had to pick one. :) I'm sort of a black sheep, so it fits me at most times in my life.
Thanks so much for coming over and linking up today! You're soooo awesome! I also love the ZBB! I would lovelovelove to go to one of their concerts. They were just out here in CA a few months ago....but I didn't get to go:(
I hope you had fun linking up!!!! Thanks chica!
Yep.... not a singer either but I do too and oh yes that song makes me smile!!
Song surely does make you smile :) I'll go to paradise right now!!
Blessings by Laura Story is the theme song of my life at the moment. There will come a day when I'll have a perkier song again though!
Life Starts Now by Three Days Grace
Gah! I love this song! Oh, and to be on those beaches in that paradise right now? YES, PLEASE!!
me, right now? LOL I've been wearing out Rocket Ship Run by Laurie Berkner Band.
good pick!
I love Zac Brown Band. I've been listening to many of their songs on repeat the last month.
How funny, I JUST heard this song today for the first time, on the radio. I dig it!! Perfect summer song!
I love ZBB's "Where the Boat Leaves From." That's my happy song.
My husband likes to annoy me by singing the Chris Brown song, "Look at me now. I'm getting paper" song when it comes on the radio. I think it's stupid, but him singing it makes me laugh, especially when he changes the words, "Look at her now. Emily's eating paper." Which is often true...
What a great song. Speaking of getting through, that's just a bubble of a song to help you make it through these days. Crank it up and dance around to this in the kitchen. And it sure makes it that much better that Jimmy's crooning along.
Great song! I've never heard that band before. I've just been a radio flipper the last couple months. I love to crank up the music and car dance. :)
I love the Zac Brown Band.
There are so many songs that strike me for different reasons. Just yesterday, I drove home bawling because If You're Reading This was playing as I drove.
I've never heard that one before. I have different songs for different purposes. Some if I'm sad, some for workouts, etc. and some just remind me of certain things.
I'm really loving Dirt Road Anthem right now by Jason Aldean! It takes me back to younger days and plus I just love him!!
I can not sing at all but my playlist is all over the place! Certain songs take me back to awesome memories of growing up, painful memories of heartache and breakups, and just fun, fun, fun songs that I can sing along to!
Hmmmm....the pressure to think of a really hip & current song that is speaking to me is almost too much! Will you be too annoyed with me if I tell you that I like to listen to the Country Oldies station a lot? Today I heard "The Dance", an Anne Murray song (something about dancing in the Milky Way) and "The Bluest Eyes In Texas" and sang along with all three. Love, love, love old country. :)
Because of my current state of emotions, I'm into very mellow songs. Anything from Adele or Sara Barrielles...swoon
Great song! My husband's favorite right now too! He's the one who had me listen to it. It's his "we moved to the beach" song. :)
I was just singing this song on my way home from town early this morning. Love it! It's the ultimate summer song if you ask me! :)
