I think this meme has established that while I listen to lot of different genres, should I have my own station it would be filled with mostly slow to mid-tempo ballads. Here’s another one.

I was not a Jason Mraz fan when he released his debut studio album, but then… I heard this song. Although he is most popular for “I’m Yours,” which felt like it was on repeat on every radio station at the time it was released, this remains my favorite song. It’s a melancholic one and I love the bridge.

And it’s okay if you have to go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
But if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I’ll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that’s okay
Cause I’ll remember everything you sang

Staying home for a year allowed me to discover new artists. Sasha Sloan is one of the individuals I’ve had on repeat.

I know we talked, we talked about forever / I know you thought, thought we’d end up together
I threw it all away / I went from someone you love to someone you hate

Anchored Hearts is a second chance romance that fits the chorus so perfectly I had to pair it here. Anamaria and Alejandro really thought they would be forever but he takes off to pursue his dreams, leaving her in their home town. When he returns due to an injury, through the devious planning of their mothers they meet again. There are still sparks but there’s a lot of bad feelings too. It was good and spurred a post on why I love/hate second chance romances. (Review here)

I’ve been having fun with these 90s throwbacks. It’s like traveling back in time. Hahaha… Remember this artist named Jewel? Yeah, me too. She might be better remembered for “You Were Meant for Me” and “Who Will Save Your Soul,” but I loved “Foolish Games”. Isn’t this song so beautifully heartbreaking?

Bonus: Here’s a rearranged version from 2020 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Pieces of You.”

Music Monday 1.11: You and me…

Let’s continue with the 90s. Here’s a group I didn’t learn to appreciate their later years and then they went on hiatus. They have since released new albums. I was so disappointed I couldn’t make their 2019 reunion tour. This particular single appeared on their debut album Cracked Rear View, released in 1994. “Only Wanna Be with You” made it to #6 on the U.S. charts. Darius Rucker has also found success as a country singer. I love his country music too. Enjoy!

I needed to interrupt my 90s nostalgia for the most recent song I have on repeat. This song deserves to be shared far and wide. It’s the 80s beat I love. I’ve enjoyed Platt’s entire Reverie album.

I wanna love you, but I don’t / I wanna need you, but I won’t
I begged my heart to start to race when I’m kissing you
I say I’m dreaming ’bout your face, but it isn’t you

I hate cheating. I hate love triangles. Yet, I find myself making so many exceptions for Kennedy Ryan. Case in point, Block Shot. Banner is in relationship when she meets Jared again. They have history, but he broke her heart in college, and he’s never forgotten her. Try as she might, he’s been hard to forget too. Her books are emotional, poetic, and leave me in book comas more often than not. It’s #2 in the Hoops series but can be read as a standalone.

Last week’s dose of ’90s nostalgia made me think of Sam Hunt’s “Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s.” I loved Hunt’s debut album “Montevallo” with its incorporation of hip-hop and country. His second album is similar but I only liked some tracks, such as this one here. Was breaking up easier in the 90s? Maybe? I guess no social media meant a smaller likelihood of seeing each other…unless you broke up in a small town. (heh…) Thoughts?

I was listening to the radio (gasp!) and all of a sudden a ’90s love song came on. Did I sing my heart out? Yes I did! Were my mini passengers abhorred? Of course they were! It reminded me that the ’90s were a decade of love songs. Ballads seemed to be every where. Bands and solo artists were crooning their love and heartbreak. Celine Dion’s vocals was a staple of the times. Here’s what I was belting out to the horror of my nieces.

Here’s an added bonus: Asia Samson performing his poem “90s love.” It will make you nostalgic. You won’t be able to stop smiling.

Last week, I highlighted The Paper Kites so it’s only fair I bring in a duo that has similar “midnight drive” vibes. Thankfully, they’re located in Austin, TX so there’s a possibility I might get to see them live one day. “I Still Love You” is the first single from their debut album released April 2021 and also my favorite song.
