TOTW # 52: Let it all be MUSIC!

Hello Music Lovers!

We're on Week 52 of TOTW - can you believe it? 

We launched this last year on Mother's Day and it's Mother's Day today! 

Happy Mother's Day to all those celebrating! 

We'd like to thank each and every one of you for contributing to this venture and making it such a success!

A special thanks to all those who volunteered to host themes each week and keep this going.

We couldn't have gotten this far without you!

On the first ToTW Anniversary we're bringing you a theme on the very thing that's brought us all together and allowed us to celebrate 52 whole weeks of fascinating themes!

Yep, the thing brings us back to this forum to share our favorites!

It's spelt M.U.S.I.C!

Need any more hints? 

Quoting the group ABBA:

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing

Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty

What would life be?

Without a song or a dance, what are we?

So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

Truly... without a song and a dance, what are we??

So this week we're posting songs about songs! 

Songs with lyrics that mention songs & singing, music, tune, melody, notes, beat, rhythm, lyrics, writing or playing songs, playing an instrument, mentioning a type or genre of song such as ballad or Jazz or Rock 'n' roll or anything at all relating to songs and songwriting.

In Hindi some of the words that you can look for in the lyrics could be: Geet, Gaana, Taal, Sur, Lay, sangeet, gungunana, bol etc.

You can also share songs that mention the names of musical instruments.

• As always, you can post songs in any language, any genre, any era.
• Do try & give credits to the songwriters & singers.
• Try not to repeat songs (I'll maintain a list on Page 1)
• Do not spam the thread with too many posts. Once you have made 5-6 posts, please hold off and let others post before you come back with more songs. 
• Make sure you post the correct YT link for the song.

Alright, so let's celebrate MUSIC and all the emotions it brings!

Thank you for the Music - ABBA (1977)

So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing

Without a song or a dance, what are we?

So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

Rock 'n' Roll Music - The Beatles

Album: Beatles for Sale (1964)

Songwriter: Chuck Berry

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

Gotta be rock and roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me

I've got no kick against modern jazz

Unless they try to play it too darn fast

And lose the beauty of the melody

Until they sound just like a symphony

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRF6nmqcbxo

And your bird can sing- The Beatles

Album: Revolver (1966)

Songwriters; Lennon/ McCartney

You tell me that you've got everything you want

And your bird can sing, but you don't get me

You don't get me

You say you've seen seven wonders

And your bird is green, but you can't see me

You can't see me

When your prized possessions

Start to weigh you down

Look in my direction

I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOUlbredoUM

Blackbird - The Beatles
