Favorite Song

Okay. Today we are going to see what everybody's favorite song is. I know these are hard to narrow down. If I had to pick one song that never fails to resonate with me, it would be "Shackles" by MaryMary. But then, God Bless America gets me right in the gut everytime, too. As does The Battle Hymn of the Republic. As does Amazing Grace and any number of hymns.

Now, if we're goin' dancin', well, Shackles would still work. After that, I love swing, jitterbug, and ... yes ... even disco. I'm of the disco era and I must confess that the Bee Gees do it for me.

Did I mention I'm a Christmas song fanatic? My all time favorite Christmas song is Don't Save It All for Christmas (not sure if that's the official title or not) by Avalon. Ohmygosh. I have such a hard time keeping both hands on the wheel when that song comes on the radio. I always cry when I hear Mary, Did You Know? Other favs are Winter Wonderland and The Christmas Song (chestnuts roasting).

So ... what about you? What are your favorites?

For Christmas: Kathy Mattea's Joy for Christmas Day CD--the whole thing. She's a country singer whose Christmas music is all Jesus. Beautiful stuff. Another fave of mine would be the oldie but goodie Battle Hymn of the Republic. Fave singers: Karen Carpenter and Josh Groban. Hey, that Shackles song is one rockin' tune!
Deeanne said...: Ooooh. I'll have to put some of these on my Christmas list! They sound great.
Barb said...: Chris Rice writes the sweetest luv songs. Add Crystal Lewis' light jazz Christmas CD Holiday! and the Jingle Bells song from Michael W Smith's Christmastime CD and you'll have a wonderfully musical December! Oh, and I also luv And I Love You So by Perry Como. If things start getting tense around here, #1 Son will lower his voice and start singing that one dramatically. Cracks me up every time...
