I think I might have found excellent music to use while writing. It sounds like something that comes straight off The Quest soundtrack. Which I really, really want.

Leaving here for future reference. :)

Dear Internet Explorer 9,

Thank you for your commercials leading me to searching for this song. As soon as I can, I will be downloading it off iTunes and putting it on my iPod to use while I work out.

I rarely ever hear this French carol played, but I absolutely love it. It's also known as "He is Born, the Divine Child" (or at least that is what I think). This ( Read more... )

Today's Song: 'The Wisdom of Snow' by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

If you heard it outside the context of their Christmas albums, most people probably wouldn't even think this a Christmas song, but I love to listen to it. It's been flurring the past couple of days (I am so thankful we didn't get the pounding of snow that the mid-west did), and whenever ( Read more... )

Today's song: "The Huron Carol"

I used to imagine this to go along with the Wise Men ("three ships") back before I came to realize that there might not have been three, we just assume it was three based on the gifts they brought the Christ- ( Read more... )

In honor of the day...

Today's Song: "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" by John Lennon

It wouldn't be Christmas for me if I didn't listen to this song a few times. And don't we all wish for peace, especially this time of year?
