Tie o’ the Day #1 (from Croft & Barrow) has been listening to Sia. Clearly, Tie decided it was “gonna swing from the chandelier.” Obviously, the tie hijinks is not out of Tie o’ the Day’s system. I don’t mind this tie action (and I do like the song) as much as I mind Tie singing “Chandelier” over and over, since tie does not have a pleasant singing voice.
I don’t mean to brag, but I have a spectacular singing voice–as long as I’m alone in the car belting loudly with every song on every cd I crank up. Currently, I am listening almost exclusively to Mumford and Sons cd’s. The band is an acquired taste, so I’m not necessarily advocating that you all try a listen. If you’re musically adventurous, I think you’ll be pleased with them though.
The joke in my family about Mom singing us to sleep is that it was effective in putting us to sleep because we were trying to get our consciousness away from hearing it. Even she knows she can’t carry a tune: she drops tunes when she gives singing a try. I suppose I got more from my mother than just her name. If you’re in my car with me, I promise I won’t torture you with my “speshul” crooning voice.
I’m happy your ties are lively and keeping us so entertained. ARE WE NOT ENTERTAINED? Sorry, that was my Gladiator voice.
Once as Floyd and I were walking through an orchard, he wondered aloud: Do you think trees get bored just staying in one spot their whole lives? Hmm. Contemplating the meaning of life for trees?
So, I’m song-crushing on Sound of Silence by Disturbed. Not sure why cuz haven’t heard any other song by them I can like. Although their song titles are interesting.
I’ve trained them well!
And I love Disturbed’s version of that song. It hits me in the gut. Like you, I don’t dig on any of their other stuff.
