Grooves - 19twentythree - Part 2
I get a lot of mood swings, especially with what’s happening in the country and all, but music is a constant in my life. It’s what keeps me going. I always find a song for every mood.
Whenever I run out of words and silence prevails, music expresses how I am and brings those feelings to the surface; positive or negative. For me, music “Can alter moods and talk to you,” as the song goes. Have to get dressed and drag your behind out of the house? Play some loud pop or house and that will get you going. Can’t sleep and you have to get up in a couple of hours? Tune into some new age. It’s what makes a party dead or rocking.
I hope you enjoy my weekly list and feel free to share yours if you have any. Cheers ☺

May 26, 2013 | May El Sherbiny 2
Covers can truly make or break a song, some give a whole new feeling to the song and uncover more ways for you to fall in love with a song you once disliked, or fall even deeper with one you did like, and others simply ruin it. This is a list of my favorite covers, I hope you enjoy the new angles they gave to the songs as much as I did.
