I may be a bit odd here, but I love gloomy days. Several in a row and I will get antsy, like anyone. But mostly I love dreary days, foggy days, rainy days. There’s almost a romance to the atmosphere. I relish padding around the house in comfy clothes, burning a scented candle, drinking something warm, and – always – listening to my favorite music for a gloomy day.
This one’s got a rendition of “Eleanor Rigby” that I listen to on repeat.
Fleming takes a break from her opera career to sing some great pop.
There are more “99 Most Essential” albums where these came from. They are all mp3 albums, and they are all fairly cheap. You can find more here.
The world’s most renowned cellist plays one of the best movie composers of all time.
This one is something of a Christmas album, but not in a traditional sense. One of my favorites from this album is the Ma/Thile/Fleming collaboration on “Touch the Hand of Love“.
Found your site through the ’31 Days’ linkup at The Nesting Place. LOVE your series! I’m a musician and musical theatre performer/junkie, and I’ve loved your musical suggestions thus far. Last year, I did a ’31 Days of Playlists’ series that was oh-so-fun to write. This year I’m writing ’31 Days of Favorites’ – and of course I’m figuring out how to work in some playlist posts. 🙂 Thanks for writing – looking forward to reading the rest of the series – blessings!
Thank you, Sarah! I’m SO glad you are enjoying the series! I’m sure you know that sometimes it feels like you might be writing to the wind. 🙂 When that’s the case, it really helps to be writing about something about which you’re passionate – that’s definitely the case for me here. My primary musical outlet these days is singing with our local symphony’s chorus (I love it!).
I’ll definitely go check out your series, as well!
