Music Monday: Travellin' Soldier

'Travellin' Soldier' by the Dixie Chicks. It's a bit of a tear-jerker but good for singing in the shower.



Shower-singing: do you and, if so, what?

Country music is three chords and the truth. Harlan Howard

That IS depressing! :(
I actually had to flick out of this tab while I was listening to it because the words on the screen annoyed me, lol.
No, I don't sing in the shower, but I can see why that song would be good for it! It doesn't seem like it should be, but it's an earworm!

Oh I love that song. It's between that and 'Silent House' (another sad one) for my favourite of theirs. My friend and I used to think that it would make a good storyline for a movie. Possibly because there are already about a million movies with a reasonably similar storyline.
As for singing in the shower: yep. But usually more upbeat ones. Whatever's making me feel ridiculously happee at the time usually does it. Like 'Voodoo Child' by the Rogue Traders, or 'Hot n Cold' by Katy Perry. Yelly sort of songs. They sound better with the shower's acoustics. :-P

I shower sing! Usually big soaring ballads from musicals, because our bathroom has fantastic acoustics and I sound vaguely like I know what I'm doing. 'Winner Takes it All' is a current favourite.

Holly: I know. :( I thought I was used to it but I still sometimes get a bit choked up singing it. I think it's good cos it's a story so it's easy to remember - you don't keep singing the same line over and over!

Brooke: I like 'Silent House' too. A movie based on Travellin' Soldier? It's funny, I was thinking when I was posting it that if it was a movie I'd probably refuse to watch it but somehow the song isn't so bad.

Ally: Been there... 'Winner Takes it All' is a good one.

Jenny: By "been there", do you mean literally as in, you've sung in Ally's bathroom? Sorry. Had to ask. Amusing visual.

Good tune.

Jennifer said...

Holly: :-P No.
