The Secret Life of a Care Bear

Day 25: Put your iPod on shuffle, first 10 songs

I don’t have a real iPod dedicated to music anymore. I have an iPhone, but I only keep a little bit of music on there. I’ll go ahead and use that, but it won’t be nearly as embarrassing as selections from my entire music library would be. I’ll save that for another time!

1. “I Can Be Your Friend” cover by the O.C. Supertones, from Veggie Rocks! (an album of covers of VeggieTales songs) What a great way to start off this list, eh?
2. “Nessun dorma” (from the opera Turandot) sung by José Carreras – One of my favorite songs!
3. “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” – From Will the Circle Be Unbroken by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, with a host of guest artists. I love blue grass!
4. “The Deal” from Miss Saigon (Original London Cast), where Chris is trying to get Kim to take her away.
5. “Je Suis Encor Tout Étourdie” from Manon, sung by Renée Fleming. I have no idea what this is, off the top of my head.
6. “Tune Up #1″ from Rent (Original Broadway Cast), the very beginning of the show
7. “Sanctus” from The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, by Karl Jenkins. This from a really cool choral/orchestral piece we did in choir at Parkland a few years ago. Here’s a link to a video of this movement on youtube. I recommend the Kyrie and the Benedictus, too.
8. “Angel Tidings” from Rutter: Carols from Clare, with the Cambridge Clare College Singers and Orchestra. Christmas song!
9. “All Day” from The I Heart Revolution album by Hillsong United. I don’t recall this song off the top of my head! Ha.
10. “Beautiful” sung by Melissa How from the Jesus Culture album Your Love Never Fails. Loooove this song! Good album all around, actually, if you like Jesus Culture.

That is surprisingly a pretty good selection of what my ipod has to offer! The only thing not represented on that list is more normal sorts of music like Lady Gaga, but it’s far outnumbered by the other genres, so that’s understandable.

I’ve been looking for a way to get into the habit of blogging more, so when I came across this 30 Day Challenge on Stacey’s blog I decided to jump on board!

I’m going to try to blog once a day for 30 days following this list of topics. I reserve the right to stray from the topic whenever I want, though!
