My new blog buddy, Fran I Am, had a great post earlier today about a great song that she really felt was Obama-ish. Then as I was driving to my Chamber Board interview, I heard another song that felt Obama-ish. Finally, I got home and turned on CNN and Jeannie Moos had a piece about music at the Democratic Convention.
All of that inspired me to pull together Democratic Convention music, plus Fran I Am's song and the song I loved this morning.
Enjoy.
Big Country - thanks Fran I Am! You're right! This song IS Obama-ish!
Philip Sayce performing with Melissa Etheridge at the Democratic Convention - God Bless America, The Times They Are A-Changin', Give Peace A Chance & Born In the USA
Better Days by Goo Goo Dolls - This is the song I heard today that speaks to what I believe Obama speaks to: hope, faith, our best days being in front of us.
Sheryl Crow at the Convention
Michael McDonald singing "America The Beautiful" at the Convention
Stevie Wonder performing "Fear Can't Put Dreams to Sleep" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" at the Convention - I remember meeting him at President Clinton's 1997 Innaguration. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
Yes We Can by Will.i.am and John Legend
National Anthem by Jennifer Hudson
"Only In America" by Brooks & Dunn closed the Convention
Thanks for the link love!
ReplyDeleteI heard that on the radio in the car this morning and I was all "this is it!"
Love the Melissa video you have too.
Enjoy the weekend and let us put our every effort into getting Obama elected! Whoo hoo!
