"Did Ye Get Healed?" by Van Morrison

I had a Reiki session with my wonderful friend Alaia this afternoon and it was an amazing experience!  I realized afterwards, when I was connected to the world again, I had lost it the last couple of months.  I can see the beauty and love in the world around me again.

This song popped into my head and I can answer the question with a resounding "YES!".

"Hard Headed Woman" by Wanda Jackson

Came across this video on YouTube today.  I so remember this!  And I so love seeing a woman rockin' it back in the 50's!

"Soul Kitchen" by The Doors

So many great Doors songs I haven't posted.  I was listening to their first (self-titled) album this morning and this is definitely a fav...

"Venus" by Shocking Blue

Oh yeah, baby!  I'm your Venus, I'm your fire...

I'm disappointed that the 2002 video was a playback (lip sync)!  It would have been cooler to have heard them for real, even if they sound different.

"Life on Mars" by David Bowie

Yet another David Bowie favorite!

That TV series by the same name just popped into my head.  Was that ever a disappointment!  Totally lame ending!  I'm guessing it was canceled so they just threw an ending together?

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana

Might as well post the Nirvana song that started it all.  Oh well, whatever, never mind...

Great album too...

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg

Weird Al's version was awesome as well:

"The Man Who Sold the World" by Nirvana

I also loved this MTV Unplugged, cover version of yesterday's song by Nirvana.

"The Man Who Sold the World" by David Bowie

Another favorite David Bowie track.  I love the cover with him wearing a dress (robe?) and feminine looking hair.  I definitely think we should blur those stupid binary gender roles as much as possible.

"Space Age Whiz Kids" by Joe Walsh

I love this song and I love the video.  I still remember it on MTV back in the day.  I didn't get into the original Pac Man that much did love playing Ms. Pac Man.  Hmmm, and now I am a Ms. myself ;)

So many great lyrics!  Get in my short-block Chevy...

"Don't You Care" by The Buckinghams

Another favorite:

"Foreign Policy" by The Buckinghams

Another awesome song I rediscovered yesterday!  Every time I hear a song like this I think about how sad it is that it is almost 50 years old and nothing has really changed.  The situation is very possibly worse now  :(

Heaven knows I'm all about the fasion these days.  LOL

He looks SO young in this video!

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA27aQZCQMk

"Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie

A very sad day!!  Yesterday we lost a true icon of our age!  Truly an amazing soul!  He was a part of my life for so many years.  I have so many great memories that are related to David Bowie.

This has been my favorite song of his for years and years.  In listening to it just now I realize that in a way I relate to the lyrics:

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl

"Where in the World" by Swing Out Sister

One of the singles from their 2nd album.  I think this is the A-side that had "Taxi Town" as the B-side.  "Taxi Town" was the second song I posted to my blog WAY back on 12-Jul-2011.

"Across the Universe" by Alysha Brilla and Jeff Bryant

Of course I love original The Beatles song, but this cover is brilliant!

"Don't Stop The Dance" by Bryan Ferry

I was listening to the video for "Heartbeat City" by The Cars on YouTube and this was one of the suggestions.  I love this song and I love the haircuts on the girls in this video.  :)

"Don't Care" by Daniela Andrade

This popped up on YouTube a few days ago and I really like it!

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lodu6rx62I

"Smoking Gun" by Robert Cray

It's crazy that I keep coming up with these songs that I have loved for so many years, that I haven't thought to post before.  I remember listening to this song while I was riding the exercise bike downstairs in Kaysville while rocking out to this song.  So this is a great rocker for my birthday :)

"Come Undone" by Duran Duran

I was thinking about Duran Duran this morning and I realized I've never posted this one...

"Get Ready" by Rare Earth

It was so amazing when this song came out, blew us away, almost 22 minutes of groovin' out!

Update 15-May-2017:  I came across this video that was just made about a month ago.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.  Crazy that somebody would put together almost 22 minutes of that many photos and video clips!  And they go pretty well with the music.  Be warned there are some REALLY sexual shots in this!

"Every Kinda People" by Robert Palmer

I thought I would start off the year on a positive note.  I love the lyrics to this song.

This was a funny song, I didn't associate this song with Robert Palmer when he had all of his big hits, like "Simply Irresistible".  I don't think I made the connection until his "Best of" album came out.
