"Top 10 Most Emotionally Packed Songs" Playlist

Last night, all the trip guys and leadership staff were cleaning up after our Pirate versus Ninja Party.  We entertained ourselves by putting together the most emotionally packed songs we've ever heard.  Here is our Top 10.  Let me know what you would add or take away. 

The measuring rod?  How quickly does it make all your facial muscles tighten up and make you sing with your eyes closed?  Or does it make you want to sob like a little baby?

Here we go!

#10  Livin' on a Prayer  by Bon Jovi
#9  It's All Coming Back to Me  by Celine Dion
#8  I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing  by Aerosmith
#7  Kiss From a Rose by Seal
#6  Everything I Do by Bryan Adams
#5  Unbreak My Heart  by Toni Braxton
#4  I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
#3  One Sweet Day by Boyz II Men
#2  I Would Do Anything For Love by Meatloaf
#1  Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler

Up for debate were songs such as "Will You Be There" by Michael Jackson, "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, "Fix You" by Coldplay.  If you have a boring weekend lined up, then perhaps this will give you something to do for about an hour.  What do you think should be included in the TOP 10 Most Emotionally Packed Songs?

(yes, i know...this is a very deep, serious, reflective blog post)

Music For Your Weekend: Playing For Change

This is the latest iTunes download of mine.  It's the "Playing For Change" album.  International music.

This one reminds us we all need someone to "Stand by Me". 

We all need community.

I dig the MuteMath

I have their album.  Liking their new songs.  And I'm diggin' up their old stuff.  Check this. It's the lead singer doing a worship album down in New Orleans to benefit Katrina victims. 

Plus their videos are fun!

Music For Your Weekend: Group 1 Crew

Look out everyone!  These guys are new on the scene and they are spinning some great hits.  Their new CD has multiple hits on it.  You may have already heard a few of them, "Forgive Me" and "Keys to the Kingdom".  But their album has even more to tune into.  Check out this link to a new music video for their song, "Movin".  It's got a great beat.  Songs "Can't Go On" and "Clap Ya Hands" are great as well. 

Have a great weekend and spring break for those of you already vacationing!
