Edumusication
A song a day every day of my 25th year. I try to profile lesser-known and/or Canadian artists. My favourite genre is folk, and I generally go with whatever mood moves me that day. Some posts discuss the history of the artist or song and some are my reflections on the choice.

Meiko - Reasons to love you
My year of music is nearly complete! I know, I know, I've missed over a hundred days. It seems not quite fair for me to end it without 365 new songs for you, but alas, there are only 24 hours to every day. I'm using as many of them as I can lately!
And I've also been inspired to write about the great journey I've been on in the last twelve months. Shortly, I hope, I will be able to post an ode to this last year, and discovering great music, like Meiko, will be a part of it!
Until then, I'm just thinking back about how much I've learned about life and love, something that Meiko sings so much about. Tonight, I wrote about the latest epiphany I've been realizing. When it comes down to it, I guess somebody will one day provide me with a Reason to Love Him/Her....until then, I'll just love you all!

B*Witched - C'est La Vie
It's been years since I've heard these ladies. Then, suddenly, I finished my espresso, turned up my ears and began tapping my toes along to these familiar vocals...oh, such a great exciting vibe!

Cat Power ~ Lived In Bars
"we know your house so very well
and we will wake you once we've walked up
all your stairs"
Cat Power is H-O-T!
This song is under-rated...
"we know your house so very well
and we will bust down your door if you're not there
"we've lived in bars
and danced on tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes out of here
out of here "
and we will wake you once we've walked up
all your stairs"

Hey Ocean! - "Alleyways"
I’ll take the alleyway today
No need for streets they just compete with other people
Walking side by side on sidewalks
With their clocks all ticking simultaneously
...
There is a way
Another way to go and I’ll take it
A secret way
Some people know about but know one ever sees
...
Fast or slow
Take the shortcuts inside roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
Will get there our way
...
And though we more than deserved it long ago
it doesn't hurt to notice I'm free
(Fast or slow
Take the shortcuts inside roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
Will get there our way)
