Today, I realized I missed one very important song. The reason why it's so important is because it was my daughter's first very favorite song. Even before we celebrated her first birthday, she absolutely adored listening to
It's not an earth-shattering song by any means. It's a cute love song about a girl named Julie. I think my daughter was drawn to this song because of it's upbeat melody and it's simplicity overall.
Check out HEY JULIE. According to my daughter, it'll brighten your day!
Good list! Just reading the title of "Don't Stop Believing" made me smile. Love Journey.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure everyone on the planet loves "Don't Stop Believin'". Seriously, how can you not?
DeleteFun list! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I hope you can find some new music to add to your library. :)
DeleteMy daughter likes the Journey song. I have raised her well!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!!
DeleteYou know, I wouldn't consider myself a huge Journey fan, but I do love Don't Stop Believin'!
These are some great songs. I do have a couple of them on my list already, but not most of them. You put together the best compilations!
ReplyDeleteThanks, K-Lo! Thanks for your post that gave me the idea to write this post. :)
DeleteGood songs - Don't stop believin is the best! Stopping by to say thanks for your well wishes on my SITS day the other day!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, MIssy. I hope it was a good day for you!
DeleteGreat list! Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel is one of my all time favorites.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It was on my wedding video. Such a great song. Classic, really.
DeleteOh thanks! Off to listen to some music
ReplyDeleteGreat songs, thanks! I have lost touch a bit with the music world since having kids and your post reminds me not to do that!
