MM – Clarity by Zedd (Sam Tsui & Kurt Schneider Cover) *

I’m still not over this song and I doubt I’ll ever be. Love, LOVE the words to Clarity and this beautiful song has been on my playlist for the longest time! As much as I adore the original version by Zedd ft. Foxes, I gotta say this cover by Sam Tsui & Kurt Schneider is the one that haunts and makes my heart skip a beat!

   

I’m featuring both versions for this segment of Music Monday. Happy listening and do take the time to appreciate the beauty behind the words.

Possibly the saddest most beautiful song ever written, Landslide by Fleetwood Mac is the song I have chosen to kick start my Music Monday segment for 2014. Happy New Year everyone!

MM – Say Something by A Great Big World & Xtina *

I’ve been listening to plenty of sad love songs lately. Not because they personally relate to where I am in life at the moment but simply due to the mighty force of such simple yet powerful heart-rending lyrics and haunting melody of such numbers.

What do you think of this beautiful song I am featuring this week for Music Monday? I love how Christina Aguilera kept this version, which she performed on the recent American Music Awards; subdued and tender instead of over-singing it. And don’t you think she looks super skinny and oh-so-sleek in her slinky black dress? Good show Xtina!

MM - Let Her Go by Cole Vosbury *

It’s been a while since I joined the popular meme Music Monday and though I usually have a song in mind, I never seem to get around to posting my selection.

Let’s change that this week with two equally awesome versions of Passenger’s Let Her Go; first by Cole Vosbury, one of my favourite contestants from The Voice Season 5 followed by an equally haunting version from the talented 13-year old Jasmine Thompson.

I can’t stop listening to both versions and to the sad story behind this beautiful song … do you hear what I hear?

MM - Over You by Cassadee Pope *

I have a new song playing over and over in my head ever since I heard it performed by Cassadee Pope on The Voice. You gotta watch the whole video clip to see the story behind this sad beautiful song and how Cassadee got Blake Shelton all teary for her heartfelt rendition; sincerely touched and looking almost smitten towards the end when she really got into the song to bring it home with a standing ovation from the coaches.

Guess I am in the mood for sad beautiful songs tonight and apparently Over You Cassadee style has been on repeat on my player since forever! Happy Music Monday and hope you too will share my sentiments when listening to this song, which recently clinched the 2012 Country Music Association Award for Song of the Year.

MM – We’ve Got Tonight by Phil Phillips *

When I found out Phil Phillips, the dark horse of this season’s American Idol was going to sing We’ve Got Tonight, originally sung by Bob Seger way back in 1978 and later recorded as a duet by Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton in 1983, I was in ecstasy!

Even B jumped when I suddenly screamed and clapped my hands in glee the moment I heard Jimmy (American Idol’s mentor) said he had chosen this song for Phil Phillips to sing in last week’s Top 3 vital performance. I could not ask for a better song, thanks Jimmy for reading the mind of this incurable romantic!

I love what Jimmy had to say about this song. A deep meaningful song, with a dark edge to it and all the emotions of a romantic, aching soul, complete with a haunting melody and lyrics indeed! No wonder this has always been one of my all-time favourite classic songs when it comes to sad love songs with words so beautiful you just wanna cry!

Results show last Friday was totally intense and as much as I love Jessica Sanchez, I was really hoping for a PP – Joshua finale. It is such a shame that Joshua Ledet, the obvious best singer of this season, will not be fighting in the finale, don’t you think?

Yes, I’m posting three different versions of this song because I love them all, starting from the latest version by Phil Phillips. Let’s hope this super duper cutie pie makes it all the way to the Top! Happy Music Monday and please vote for Phil Phillips, America!
