The pianist in McCormick's Hospital was playing this song today. Appropriately so, because the rainy season has started early.

"A Biologist's Mother's Day Song" Cadamole
This song and video is truly brilliant. Mom, hopefully using it as a tribute will make up for my not creating it. Thanks again for the mitochondria.

"Babyface" The Elected
Follow the link, then keep surfing the net in a different tab. Why? Because the song will be difficult to enjoy if you're being stared down the whole time you're listening to it.

"If You Come Back" Blue
The pediatrician I'm shadowing played this song in her car while driving me to lunch. I absolutely recognized it, but had never known what it was called or who it was by! Now I can see it becoming a total guilty pleasure.

"Citywide Rodeo" The Weepies
Easily my favorite of all of their songs which I think sometimes gets overshadowed.

"You Always Hurt The Ones You Love" Ryan Gosling
I really wish a full length recording of this song had been made since it's my favorite version I've ever heard. But then again, it's nice being able to picture this simply perfect scene every time I listen to the tune.

"Too Much So Much Very Much" Bird Thongchai
This Thai song with a partially English chorus is hilarious, yet addictive.

"Foolish Games" Jewel
I love when a song I had forgotten makes its way back into my life. Not much beats early Jewel.

"So Far Gone" James Blunt
Heard this for the first time while Dr. Pul (like the second syllable in "apple") was driving me to lunch. I like it much much better than "You're Beautiful".

"The Cookout" Anton Sanko
This movie was excellent, and the score captured the emotions beautifully.

"Price Tag" Jessie J
This song is super catchy, which isn't surprising considering it has a chorus that overlaps with another song on the Top 40. Also, as a born cynic, it may not be about the money, money, money, but I'm pretty sure JJ and B.O.B. are getting big ol' paychecks.

How am I only hearing this song now?? Ray's voice on this Gnarls Barkley track is too good to be true.

This song may not top Mr. Sandman, but it's leagues better than Chapel of Love.

"Ocean" John Butler Trio
One year ago this blog was born featuring a JBT song. I found it only fitting to celebrate the anniversary with another. Thanks for your interest over the past year and for sticking through my inconsistent posting while I'm on the road! I promise things well get back to normal when I'm home in June.
To more days, and more songs...

"Becoming A Geisha" John Williams
Someone in the volunteer house left this movie's DVD menu playing for over an hour. Now this song is all up in my head.

After singing this song to countless friends as they turned 23, it's only fair that I also accept when nobody likes you.

"Where Do I Begin?" The Chemical Brothers
A day of travel. This song, or at least the beginning, always reminds me of airports. I blame the movie Red Eye.

I'm not sure what MNDR stands for, but I'd like to think it's "meander" or "mandeer".

How did I know about Richard Cheese for so long but was never aware of the more enjoyable Baseballs? Sad times. Thanks to EVDH for showing me the way.

"Los van de Grond" Jeroen van der Boom & Leonie Meijer
The translation sounds pretty funny in English, but the gist is, "I float through the day, I come off the ground, because of you."

"Schindler's List Theme" John Williams
Today I'm visiting a historical Holocaust site for the first time. I already know this song is going to be in my head as I imagine the atrocities that happened at Dachau.

"Edelweiss" The Sound of Music Cast
I decided to be spontaneous and took a day trip to from Munich to Salzburg, Austria. Much of TSOM was filmed in Salzburg and all of the sights put the musical's songs in my head. Edelweiss, especially, will always mean Austria to me.

"Isoldes Liebstod, from Tristan und Isolde" Richard Wagner
I learned today, and it was very apparent, that the elaborate Neuschwanstein Castle was dedicated by King Ludwig II to the composer Richard Wagner. Wagner's operas are depicted all over the castle, but Tristan und Isolde was the one chosen for Ludwig's bedroom. I imagine it's his favorite. I'm not sure Wagner's music would inspire me to build a castle, but it is admittedly very moving.

I get such a kick out of these traditional German bands. I have a feeling I'm going to love Bavaria.

"Black or White" Michael Jackson
We listened to this song on the drive to the airport for me to leave South Africa. Apartheid's over, but SA could still learn some posthumous lessons from MJ.

"Barbra Streisand" Duck Sauce
I find it comical that I think of the "Yentl" Barbra when I listen to this song. The "The Way We Were" Barbra might be a better pick.

"Takin' Back My Love" Enrique Iglesias
This song was playing at the Bloukrans 162 meter bungy jump site right before I made my leap. Comically, I had no recollection that this was the song until I watched the after video. I guess my mind was a little preoccupied.
