New year, new music!
April is the beginning of the “new year” officially for me, and so, in light of that, here are some random tunes to get your “new year” going.
1. Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express
‘Trans Europe Express’ is one of those songs that just fascinated me. Hell, just Kraftwerk is fascinating.
1977
2. Julia Michaels – Pink
While this song does have naughty undertones, it’s fun to sing along to, and Julia Michaels is just a fantastic singer, songwriter, and performer. I had the pleasure of seeing her live a few years ago when she performed at The Varsity Theatre in Baton Rouge. This song is special to me, though, because it was through this song that my nonverbal autistic son began speaking more. I think it’s Julia’s kind tone that he picks up on with her singing that resonates with him so much.
2017
3. Depeche Mode - Wrong
‘Wrong’ is one of those Depeche Mode songs that you truly cannot visualize until you see the video. Watch the video and then listen to the song. Great tune.
2009
4. New Order – Truth
Classic New Order – ‘nuff said. Coincidentally, this song was released the year I was born.
1981
5. Bon Jovi – Wanted Dead or Alive
One of my favorite Bon Jovi songs of all time! Soooo good!
1987
Hey, if you don't like these, cool. If you've never heard them, check them out!
Love and light,
Nicole
