I sing a lot. I sing songs that I hear on the radio, that I mak up my own lyrics for. I sing songs from the past including a Navaho lullaby that I learned when I was 12 that may or may not really be a Navaho lullaby. I tend to ask and answer questions in song. I also like to opera-ize songs especially the rapper ballads…
Anyway I guess I sing because I always have a song in my head. Although they come and go, a few days ago I realized that I have atleast 10 steadies. By steadies I mean the songs that I have had in over the last 12+ years that I sing I would say on a weekly basis.
After all these years I have never been able to shake them…and I don’t even know how to try, so a couple days back I just decided that yeah they are a part of me and will always be and I am cool with it.
So here they are and I guess if you wanted to be accurate and as lame as it sounds these songs would make up the soundtrack of my life.
So here are the top 10 for now…
1. I don’t know much but I know I love you, Aaron Neville. I haven’t mastered much in my 29 years, but I can confidently say I am pretty close on this one.
2. Je suis un enfant de Dieu – I can’t even tell you how often I have referred to this and how many people I have been able to impress. Thank you Glenda.
3. Baby Got Back, Sir Mix Alot – I like to sing the original as well as my own lyrics I wrote a few years back.
4. Blackbird – I think it may be a Beatles song but I have changed the lyrics to: “Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly punka#@ fly” not sure why I have to thrown in the punka#@...
5. It Could Been Me Standing Next to You, Billy Ray – Nobody has summarized so much in so few words. And Stacy this one all started with you…
6. Shoop, Salt and Peppa – I wouldn’t dare mess with these lyrics, if they aren’t perfection what is?
7. Biggie Biggie Biggie Can’t You See – I have cut back on this song after the unfortunate tum tum incident with a good friend…what I wouldn’t give to turn back time…sorry Tiff.
8. Looking for Something In Red, Lorrie Morgan. I like to sing this when I get dressed in the morning - judge me.
9. A Child’s Prayer – a primary song from back in the day. Helps me CTR.
10. Regulators (Mount Up), Warren G – This played a big role back when I was dreaming of being black.
