As I tried to get into my new phase…being at home by myself and with a little more time on my hands, I made a list of some activities to keep me busy. I went ahead to Pinterest to look for challenges that would keep happy too.
I found one that I really liked…and for the past fifteen days, I have had my alarm set at 11:25am to find and update the challenge for the day. I updated my WhatsApp story daily and it sparked a daily conversation with my cousin, Ngodoo. I loved talking and sharing country music with her these past two weeks.
I would like to share my choices and I hope it sparks an interest in one or two…or more people.
On the 1st day, for a song that reminds me of summer, it was Keith Urban’s Long Hot Summer, there is no way I could have gone with any other song, I remember having that song on repeat a few years ago.
Day 2: A song by your favourite female Artist…I went with Miranda Lambert, The House That Built Me. That song makes me think of the house I grew up in, so many memories and stories.
For day 3, I went with a song that has my hometown written all over it, Dylan Scott captured some of the feelings that I have about Makurdi town in his song; This Town’s Been Too Good To Us
When I got to day 4 I thought I wouldn’t have a song because I couldn’t remembered if I had been to a concert before, then I remembered I was in one myself …over 20 years ago. It was a Christian concert…so I picked My Help by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir . Not a country song, but I went with it.
Day 5: a song from the 90’s…George Straight – I Cross My Heart
Day 6: a song from my favorite band… Restless Road – On My Way
Day 7: I have no idea why I can’t remember what song I picked on that day, but for today, I will go with Need You Now by Lady Antebellum as a song about a breakup.
Day 8: A song that you can dance to… Walker Hayes’s Fancy Like.
Day 9: A song that is a cover… I had two amazing covers to share… Fast Car by Luke Combs and Someone you loved by Mitchell Tempenny
Day 10: A song from your latest concert… Overdose by OD Woods and Atela.
Day 11: A song about love… Hard To Love by Lee Brice
Day 12: A song that is a karaoke staple – Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean
Day 13: A song from a Texas music artist…George Strait – Carrying Your Love With Me
Day 14: A song that is your favorite of all time…none other but Dierks Bentley’s Black
On the last day, day 15, A song I have on repeat, went with I Thought You Should Know by Morgan Wallen…This song makes me feel so many future feelings. Makes me think about my boy.
Hope you found something to take with you from my list.
