http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/musical-marker/ If I only had to choose one it would be Beyonce – Drunk in Love. Her most recent album was released in December of last year but has been ruling the airwaves ever since. I won’t give it to “Happy” by Pharrell because I’m currently trying to forget it exists.

Daily Post: Strike a Chord
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/strike-a-chord/ I’ve played a few instruments here and there but my best has always been my voice. Understand that when I say best, I don’t mean that I have any kind of vocal prowess; I have an average voice. My years in the church choir taught me a lot but years of not exercising that…
Humanizing Man-Hood – Vin Diesel’s cover of Stay
I woke up to something that really warmed my heart. Mr. Diesel plays one of my favorite characters; Riddick. This video is the one in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5t-CmCwhZo My first reaction? I was trying to harmonize with him, he needed some back up. He was on pitch (when he was singing in the right octave) and seemed…
Death’s Dream
Clothed in the night, she walked amongst the hidden tribulations veiled thinly and pressed firmly into the world. Her eyes reflected only the stagnant light of stars long dead as she descended. She was the embodiment of darkness, skin rustic and ruddy that greedily soaked up the sun and glimmered like the full moon. She…
At Last – Cyndi Lauper Cover
At Last by Etta James has been stuck in my head all day so I got home and got on Youtube; one of the first results was a Cyndi Lauper cover, I clicked it while laughing and saying it was going to be a hot mess….I was wrong. Who knew Cyndi Lauper could blow like…
Amy Winehouse – Tribute
The first Amy Winehouse song I heard was Fuck Me Pumps off of her debut album Frank, not a popular album in the states by any means but it was a shocking introduction. When I googled her and saw this tiny slip of a woman I was shocked beyond all measure. Her voice was astounding….
Christina Aguilera – Hurt
One of my favs that I only listen to in very particular moods. Lyrics: Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face You told me how proud you were, but I walked away If only I knew what I know today, ooh, ooh I would hold you in my arms, I would take the pain…
Everybody Knows – John Legend
It gets harder every day, but I can’t seem to shake the pain I’m trying to find the words to say, please stay It’s written all over my face, I can’t Function the same when you’re not here I’m calling your name but no one’s there And I hope one day you’ll see nobody has…
It Never Takes Long
Sara Bareilles is one of my favorite artists. I listen to this song almost every day. Lyrics: Something always brings me back to you it never takes too long No matter what I say or do I still feel you here till the moment I’m gone You hold me without touch keep me without chains…
Getting Late…
The siren’s voice in my ear beats as slowly as my heart, firm determination in her words matches nothing inside of me. My chest rises and falls with almost no purpose. She sings to me ” It’s late and I’m feeling so tired”. Its as if she’s here with me, travailing this unpaved road leading…
