Which song makes you emotional? Why?

There's just something about this song that I find touching.

Post one of your favorite ballads.

The last time I answered this, I said "The Way We Used to Be" by Eric Carmen. I have also posted some of my favorite ballads in response to some other prompts here. But I am such a huge ballad lover, I still have so many more to choose from. I could never pick just one favorite ballad. Beautiful ballads are unfortunately largely missing from today's music. I really miss them. Today I'll go with a Billy Ocean tune.

Post one of your favorite sad songs.

The last time I answered this one, I said "Old Shep" by Elvis Presley. I'm going to go with another story song this time, "Forever" by The Crabb Family.

A song that you like in multiple versions

I'm picking "The Good Life" for this one. I can't really decide on a favorite version. I have 3 favorite versions. They are by Laura Fygi, Shirley Horn, and Billy Eckstine, and each of these three versions is about equally good and all 3 versions are worth checking out. I'll just have to pick a version to post here, but I don't really like one version over the other. Also, the versions by The Drifters, and Matt Monro are pretty good too.

Which lyric always gives you goosebumps?

Tell the devil whose child I am I'm covered by the blood of thе Lamb He took his best shot, but he lost thе fight Tell the devil there's an empty grave Ain't nothin' but some broken chains That no good liar can't touch my life With the cross before me The devil's gotta get behind

A song by a band that you haven't yet posted anything by

The Ink Spots with Ella Fitzgerald

A song that represents where you live

I live in a small town, so I'm going with "Why God Made Small Towns" by Paige King Johnson.

He wanted a special place where the lost can get found, Just a patch of land to bring a little heaven down That’s why God made small towns

A song by someone you've met, or would like to meet

I've briefly met a few people after their concerts. One of them is Larnelle Harris. I met him while he was signing autographs after one of his concerts in 1992. His concert was amazing! He's a fabulous vocalist!

A song that's largely acoustic

I'll go with the acoustic version of "Imagine Me Without You" by Jaci Velasquez. This is the 100th track I've posted.

A song by a band whose merchandise you've bought - what was the merchandise

I just answered this one a few days ago, but I can answer it again if solo artists count. She isn't a band, but I have ordered from Lauren Talley online more than once. In 2019, Lauren Talley released a new album, "Glorious God: Songs of Worship and Wonder" and a new EP, "Loudest Praise: Hymns of Mercy, Love & Grace" together on the same day. You could get them a little early if you purchased them on CDs from Lauren's website, instead of waiting until they were officially released, and I couldn't wait to get them, so that's what I did.
