A few weeks ago I asked you what your personal theme song was. I realized while we all need a strong title track, we also need music that covers the rest of out moods. I put together this playlist to highlight all the moods I go through in any given day…Would love to get an idea of what your playlist would include!!
My songs are as follows:
- Kiss the Rain – Yiruma
- Claire De Lune – Debussey
- Make You Feel My Love- Adele
- Ob-La Di, Ob-La-Da : The Beatles
- American Girl: Tom Petty
- I Want It All: Queen
- Old Time Rock & Roll: Bob Seger
- What’s New Pussycat: Tom Jones
- Respect: Aretha Franklin
- The Ride of the Valkyries: Wagner
- Tears Dry on Their Own: Amy Winehouse
- Theme from New York, New York: Frank Sinatra
- Just Friends: Charlie Parker
- Beautiful Day: U2
- You’re the First, The Last, My Everything: Barry White
- The Less I Know the Better: Tame Impala
- Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007:1. Prelude Bach
- Iris: Goo Goo Dolls
- The Gambler: Kenny Rogers
- Glory Days: Bruce Springsteen
- In a Sentimental Mood: Duke Elling7ton. John Coltrane
- Midnight on the Water: Tyler Childers
- Don’t Know Why: Norah Jones
- Patience: Guns N Roses
- A Thousand Years: The Piano Guys
- Only Time: Enya
I have attempted to include a Spotify playlist. Hoping it works!
Oh there are several here that I identify with! Let me see what else I can think of.

I’m a person with no playlists. I pick a music genre on SiriusXM and let them decide my tunes. I realize this makes me odd, but so be it.

I’ve been listening to SiriusXM a lot the past few months and it’s fun to discover new songs or be reminded of old favorites. I do often create playlists in Amazon music based on listening to SiriusXM.

I will also have to make this into a blog post someday. I can unequivocally say it will include anything and everything Bob Seger.

WOW! Wowowow! Your playlist is amazing. I’d have to sit here for a long time to come up with such a great one like that. Each time I hear a song that lifts me, I think, THAT’s my song. Until I hear another one. What comes to mind right away is “Good Day Sunshine” by Beatles, “Good morning Starshine,” by Oliver. Hmm, methinks there’s a theme here. I like joyful upbeat songs. Unless I’m writing. Then it’s all classical. I must say, Ode to Joy is one of my favorite pieces, but it’s so beautiful, it always makes me cry.
