Here's my selection of music to share with you today. As usual, we have a variety of styles, all things that I enjoy listening to from time to time.
Once again, I'm going to start by jumping back to the 80s...
U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (1987)
This song topped the singles charts here in the USA and did well in other countries as well. I think this is one of my favorite U2 songs.
I like how the lyrics hints at a general searching for meaning as well as for true love and the journey it takes one through life.
A country song from the modern generation...
Keith Urban - Somebody Like You (2002)
I was surprised to discover that Keith is Australian, since his sound is so genuinely country (or more accurately country rock) with a feel that really did mark the first decade in the new century.
Fun, romantic song with a great video. Worth a listen.
And today's non-English feature:
Alex Ubago - Aunque no te pueda ver (Spanish - 2007)
Memories are a bittersweet thing. It's wonderful to have the good memories of someone you love, but it almost makes it harder when you cannot be with them. Alex seems to enjoy sad ballads, but he does them well.
This was today's post for the Music A to Z challenge given to us by
