Breana: Recently, I was listening to Laura Mvula's music again. I came across a more recent release that I missed from February 2020 called Brighter Dawn. I haven't watched the movie, Clemency, so it's no wonder I missed this one. I like Brighter Dawn. It has a nice sound as well as Laura Mvula's amazing vocals. Somehow this song feels way too short.
Adri: This week I am listening to The Sea by Morcheeba. Honestly, it feels like I've heard this song before, like a long time ago. But, I don't recall.
Andrea: Hi all, this music Monday is more of a what am I
listening to and thinking. Last Music Monday, Lauren Stoolfire over at Always
Me shared the song Kings & Queens. The tune sounded all too
familiar to songs by Bon Jovi. Of course, I wanted to know the connection between the song Kings & Queens by Ava Max; and Bon Jovi’s songs You Give Love A
Bad Name and Livin’ On A Prayer. What did I discover??? Well, all of the
songs are co-written by Desmond Child. Child has also written songs for
Aerosmith, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kiss, Ricky Martin, and many other
well-known Artists.
I love the fact that even though the beat sounds
familiar each song is written from a different perspective. And remember
this is only my opinion. Kings & Queens seems to present the
perspective of an independent woman who’s certain that her partner can’t live
without her. Whereas You Give Love A Bad Name by Bon Jovi seems to blame one of
the partners for all of the problems in the relationship—Like how does a
relationship like that work out. Finally, my favorite song by Bon Jovi, Livin’
On A Prayer seems to present a couple who can make it through anything as
long as they have each other and work together.
I have a couple of reasons for having a special
affinity for Livin’ On A Prayer. First, I have gone to several events in
which the crowd warmer had the audience sing this song—I guess you can say it
brings back good memories. Also, I’m hooked on Livin’ On A Prayer’s
message.
I have posted the YouTube videos for Kings &
Queens, You Give Love A Bad Name, and Livin’ On A Prayer
below. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Have an amazing week & stay safe! -Andrea
