I’m sitting here at home doing some work that I couldn’t get finished during the day. It was a very, very busy day. Lots of meetings that were important and required work and engagement on my part. So anyway, I’m working here at home and I’m singing. Because that is what I do. I thought for fun I’d jot down a few of my favorite sing-a-long songs that I happened to sing this evening. Maybe you’ll find one you like.
Here you go…
- “Rich Girl” by Lake Street Dive (perfect warm up tune)
- “Push” by Matchbox Twenty (come on high school friends…old skool)
- “No” by Meghan Trainor (this requires dancing and hand gestures)
- “Teenage Dirtbag” by Walk Off the Earth
- “Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On” by Mel McDaniels (come on, I am a country girl.)
- “Take Me Home, Country Roads” The Mountainman (fantastic harmonies. Show your stuff on this one.)
- “The Joke” by Brandi Carlile (you REALLY have to sing loud on this one.)
- “99 Problems” by Hugo (this is a great thumping Jay-Z cover)
- “Shake” by Nathaniel Ratliff and the Night Sweats (this is for your dance break…give those vocal chords a rest.)
- “Better Man” by Leon Bridges (the captain of smooth…this will get you back to singing and swaying)
- “Found / Tonight” by Ben Platt and Lin-Manuel Miranda (because HARMONY PARTS and HAMILTON and DEAR EVAN HANSEN)
- “What If This is All the Love You Ever Get” by Snow Patrol (this song is so stripped-down that you can sing so passionately and LOUD)
- “Girl” by Maren Morris (everyone needs a girl anthem)
- “Like a Girl” by Lizzo (dance break!)
- “Tomorrow Will Be Kinder” by The Secret Sisters (Ok, this is a hard shift from Lizzo, but this is putting the day behind you and moving on. Sing sweetly and find the harmony.)
- “Goodbye Road” by Johnnyswim and Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors (this one is a tearjerker. A great encore for your performance.)
Gah! I almost hate giving music lists because I love SO. MUCH. MUSIC. If anyone actually saw my music library I’m sure they would think I was a nutcase. (Maybe I am. And that’s ok too.)
Have a great evening everyone! Sing a song for me.
TODAY I LOVE: when reports all tie together
