Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy of films has been a blockbuster one, breaking records around the world. Now the finale, The Dark Knight Rises, is about to swoop into theaters on Friday, July 20, and the soundtrack is widely available as of Tuesday, July 17.
One of the components that has made the movies so successful has been Hans Zimmer‘s dynamic scores. His “Mozilla” from Batman Begins still gives me goosebumps. And the music from the final film is just as moving, if not more so.
Although it isn’t very cold or snowy yet this winter, I thought I’d kick off the new year with some winter songs I like. They’re not included in the music list you see to your right, though.
I’ve always enjoyed Anne Murray‘s deep voice, so let’s start off with “Snowbird:”
Thanks for reading my blog this year! I hope you enjoyed my comments as well as my choices of music and videos!
I’m taking some time off before Tuesday, January 3, to enjoy the holidays, and I hope you will, too! It’s the season to enjoy the company of others and accomplish some things I need to get done!
So, here are some of my favorite seasonal songs to immerse yourself in until early 2012!
First up is a big favorite of mine, “Breath Of Heaven” by Amy Grant:
The remaining December holidays are fast approaching, so it’s time to enjoy more seasonal music!
First up is Celine Dion singing “The Magic Of Christmas Day:”
Time for more great holiday music from the playlists on my iPod Classic!
First up this weekend is Mariah Carey‘s “One Child” from her second seasonal CD. I like this live version a lot:
I’m a BIG fan of holiday music, so I’ve been assembling my playlists for a while now. I plan on sharing some of my favorite seasonal songs here each weekend until we hit 2012!
First up is Alan Jackson singing one of his best holiday songs, “Let It Be Christmas:”
The 2011 holiday season is upon us, although I’ve been listening to holiday music for several weeks now!
I enjoy making playlists of musical pieces that follow a theme, so I’m going to list several songs on the “Thanksgiving” playlist on my iPod.
This is the first song in my list, from Glad:
For many folks, it’s after Halloween but too soon for the December holiday songs. So, what’s a music lover to listen to?
Well, here are some suggestions I might offer:
The Byrds did a song about the change of seasons called “Turn, Turn, Turn:”
I love music on the weekend, so this time, I thought I’d play movie themes that sound good even though they are from Halloween/scary movies.
First up is “Tubular Bells,” best known from The Exorcist. Believe it or not, it was a song on its own before being employed on that film.
Thank goodness for a missing person story with a happy ending!

>>Holiday woman found after being stuck in mangroves for days
A 62-year-old Holiday woman missing for four days was found Tuesday afternoon neck deep in mud and tangled in mangroves along the shore of a lake, the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said.
Kathleen Shino was removed from the mangroves as Pasco County Fire Rescue firefighters used a chainsaw to cut through the brush. She was taken to Community Hospital in New Port Richey in stable condition, said Kevin Doll, a Pasco County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
