Musical Monday (20)

Every Monday I post whatever song I can't get out of my head or just can't get enough of because Mondays can often be less than marvelous, and music is happy--even when it's sad. If you'd like to join the party, just make your own Musical Monday post and leave a comment!

Finals Week is next week, and there's a lot to be done before the semester is over. (SIX paintings are included in the a lot. I think I may take up residence in the Fine Arts Center--there's plenty of space for a sleeping bag in the painting classroom. Also, at times like this the Art Department starts to feel like Project Runway. But that's a mildly funny post for another time.)

This week's songs are "The Grey Man" by Copeland because their music is excellent for things like excessive painting and paper writing (hard rock and screaming is too distracting) and "Sleigh Ride" by Relient K. I once mentioned that I really really like Relient K, and I also really really like most versions of "Sleigh Ride". I'm crazy about this song. The RK version is a bit different from what the Boston Pops plays but still keeps the basic characteristics of the song that most people know and love.

Enjoy!

Wishing you a Marvelous Monday (I'm tired, and is anyone really sad about having more than one Marvelous Monday?),

Daisy: Thank you!

Daisy again: I should add that that comment means a lot--I put that banner up a couple weeks ago and--despite how much I love the type of the blog title--noticed that what I'd done to make the bow fit into the banner better also made it blurry, among other things. December has been an avanlanche of schoolwork and I haven't been able to fix it.

Thanks once again for the comment! It's nice to know that the banner isn't bothering anyone too much.
