When I was a kid, I used to make cassette tapes that included my favorite songs. One of my favorite tapes had three groups on it – America, Bread, & The Eagles. Not only was it one of my favorite tapes, but it seemed like most of the girls I dated also loved that tape. CDs & now MP3s have thankfully replaced cassette tapes, but I have to say, the music is still some of may favorite music out there. I hope you enjoy these songs also!
AMERICA – I NEED YOU
The Eagles – The Best Of My Love
Happy St. Patrick’s Day – I think that is Patrick was alive today, he would be upset with how his holiday is celebrated. He would not like the idea of people using his life and his ministry for an excuse to get plastered. However, I get the feeling that he would like the idea of a husband and a wife spending time together, maybe some hugs and kisses. And if Patrick’s celibacy prevented him from understanding and appreciating it, I know that God would approve and much rather we celebrate this day with marital love than with with too much green beer and Irish whiskey.
Here is a play list from Enya, an Irish singer who has one of the most haunting and soothing voices I know. I hope you can find some time to gather your spouse in your arms and enjoy part or all of this play list:
Disclaimer: I try to make sure that all of the songs that I post are appropriate for Christians. I try to screen them both for lyrical content and video content. One this project because of the length of the play list, I did not get all the way through it. I hope that everything will be appropriate – but if not I apologize and would like to hear from you what you found and why it was objectionable, so I can keep from repeating the error.
I know, I am an Oldies Fan. It is the music of my childhood, the music that speaks to me the clearest, and it is the music I know the best. (Well, with the possible exception of worship music, but I can’t see posting a steady diet of worship music to Make Out Monday – not that it would be wrong for a married couple to make out to worship music – God did create sex after all and is glad when you make out.) Wow, what a turkey trot that was, sorry! Anyway, I thought I would post some newer music this week and it led me to listening to some Adele, I find her voice very haunting and I thought you might like to cuddle up with your sweetie tonight and check out these offerings from her!
Adele – Lovesong
Adele – Set Fire to the Rain Lyrics
Adele – Make You Feel My Love
Nope, not the song, (but it is a great song) but the group. Alabama is one of the groups that I think really helped country music become more main stream and reach to a wider audience. These are three great love songs.
Alabama – Feels So Right
Alabama – Forever’s As Far As I’ll Go
LOVE IN THE FIRST DEGREE – Luke Bryan and Alabama
I was cleaning out my office today and found an old Journey CD that I inherited from some where. I looked that the songs on there and thought, hey, a couple of these are good for Make out Monday. BTW – try not to laugh at the hair. Why did we ever think that was cool?
Journey – Faithfully
Journey – Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ – Yes, you can look at this song and say, it is not strictly a love song because there are the break-up elements in it. And you would be right, but at that same time, it is also a warning, that we need to draw closer to our spouse in order to keep those things from happening.
Journey – Any Way You Want It
A reminder that we all need to be more selfless.
I truly love turning on the music, taking my wife in my arms, and slow dancing together. That was the one thing I asked for us to do on my Birthday last year. We don’t do it that often, but I really do love it.
Johnny Rivers – Slow Dancing – Swayin’ to the Music
King Harvest – Dancing In The Moonlight
