Ah, the day after Thanksgiving. Time to root through the fridge and be creative with the leftovers. Do we make a turkey omelette with gravy for breakfast? Maybe the classic turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce sandwich for lunch? I don't even have to suggest dinner, since we all know it'll be leftovers. A whole smorgasbord of them.
So while you're mulling these options over or waiting for the microwave to beep, letting you know your meal is ready, why not cozy up and listen to a few songs?
Yup. Songs of the week. Thanksgiving style (I'm not sure exactly what style that entitles - but it sounds special, so go with it).
This first song, while a bit melancholy, is a wonderful little tune. Great lyrics. Simple melody. Acoustic. It came on in the car earlier in the week and I happened to read the title while I was singing along and it just clicked. As fall comes to a close and winter takes hold, it just seems appropriate to share with you Ok Go's "Last Leaf."
On a much happier note - lets just get right into it. It fits the weather. It's fun - certainly a bit goofy. Make you feel good kinda "jam." Jack Johnson's "Bubble Toes."
And to finish up this week - we'll kick it old school again. Kind of in the same vein as the Alabama Shakes, this next band sounds like they came from a previous era of music. This is The Generationals, "When They Fight, They Fight."

Well, probably no surprise, but I want all of these songs, please!
ReplyDeleteI love OK Go, and I have many of Jack Johnson's songs - love him! First I have heard of The Generationals.
Thanks, Drew!!!
ieyu, ilys!
