Great
Colbie Caillat
Fake plastic Mistletoe
Wrap me in a great big bow
And tear me apart
Sunday stall time. Santa can’t provide enough holiday PTO for the seasonal “case of the Mondays”. I am tempted to listen to that naughty, “Just post tomorrow” voice in my head, but going to forge ahead and try to stay on my internal, follow-through nice list.
Songs 19 and 20 on the list are in the contemporary camp and represent somewhat of a transition away from the full Lifetime/Hallmark Christmas sentiment.
Carol of The Bells (Lindsey Stirling Version)
Kate was building her own Spotify mix and discovered Lindsey Stirling. Kate is learning the violin at school, so Lindsey caught her ear. Kate has great taste so of course ThisDad soon became a Lindsey Stirling fan too. So this one makes number 19 on the list.
Hopefully, with some sterling, Stirling inspiration, Kate will practice her 3rd-grade violin more than ThisDad did his 3rd-grade cello!
Mistletoe (Live Version) by Colbie Caillat
This song just reminds me of the high-school “maybe that phone call is for Me”, first girlfriend butterflies. I doubt very seriously the demo that did not grow up with corded phones and caller ID is reading ANY Blog let alone this one. In the days of instant-grams, and nano-second tic-toc speed fame, it must seem adjacent to cave life to think that human beings used to call a location just hoping to speak to the person they wanted.
Even crazier was that in a home there might be someone who would hear the phone desperately hoping they were the intended invitee to the conversation.
This song is from 2007, but one I only heard last year. The mood and the melody just took me back to that angsty-teen, mellow-drama, little problems bring big moods time in my life.
This song just radiates the chasm between opening a note in your locker and reading “Like” vs “LIKE-LIKE“! Oh man, what that could mean to a young heart. Simpler times.
So that wraps song 20.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
Thanks for reading. See you tomorrow.
