Ada and the Birdman is a brand new, blossoming little business, run from home, made with love, filled with joy. Currently at the very early stages, dipping toes, and testing waters, and going on a merry ride.
All sorts of fantastic, and delightful things are swirling about in the minds of Ada and her Birdman, but as yet they are simply dreams and desires, with nothing more to show. So, I thought that we would start by filling this space with something very simple, something done to death, but yet, something marvelous that gives you, dear reader, a glimpse into the world of us.
If you have not yet heard of the 30 day song challenge list (I've only just, but have a feeling it has been around for a mighty long time, and I've just missed it completely) then dig this...
Take 30 days, add 30 songs and voila, the 30 songs in 30 days. There is (of course) a pre-prepared etiquette to the song choice, as decided by someone unbeknownst to me. But, for the sake of the game, and a place to begin, let's roll with that shall we?
Here is the song-list curriculum in it's entirety.
Day 01: Your favourite song
Day 02: Your least favourite song
Day 03: A song that makes you happy
Day 04: A song that makes you sad
Day 05: A song that reminds you of someone
Day 06: A song that reminds of you of somewhere
Day 07: A song that reminds you of a certain event
Day 08: A song that you know all the words to
Day 09: A song that you can dance to
Day 10: A song that makes you fall asleep
Day 11: A song from your favourite band
Day 12: A song from a band you hate
Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure
Day 14: A song that no one would expect you to love
Day 15: A song that describes you
Day 16: A song that you used to love but now hate
Day 17: A song that you hear often on the radio
Day 18: A song that you wish you heard on the radio
Day 19: A song from your favorite album
Day 20: A song that you listen to when you’re angry
Day 21: A song that you listen to when you’re happy
Day 22: A song that you listen to when you’re sad
Day 23: A song that you want to play at your wedding
Day 24: A song that you want to play at your funeral
Day 25: A song that makes you laugh
Day 26: A song that you can play on an instrument
Day 27: A song that you wish you could play
Day 28: A song that makes you feel guilty
Day 29: A song from your childhood
Day 30: Your favourite song at this time last year
And, what better place to start than at the spectacular numero uno? None! You wildly scream, and you would indeed be correct! So lets, shall we?
So, of course, they start the sequence with an impossibility. How, can anyone rightly have a (just the one) favourite song? Something that unless your taste in music is as broad as a match stick, I highly doubt could possibly occur. It would also require I suspect, an emotional spectrum that rises and falls zip, zilch, zero!
My moods change, my musical desires differ. A song perfect for a particular time-and-place is somewhat null-and-void in others. There are songs to fit emotions, and situations, and places, and people. Which I'm guessing is why the list spans a whole 30 days.
But, well you've got to start somewhere I guess, and why not with a big bang? In determining what is a 'favourite' I've considered those songs that are always with me. Thost songs that have stood the test of time, and no matter when, where, how far in the future, will always have that heartbeat rattling, mind melting effect (given of course the pre-determined criteria mentioned above)
So, here are some of my favourite songs....
And there, in my mind's eye, a tasty little flavoursome favoursome musical treat.
Love, love, love
