Roberto Carlos was the last person I expected to see here! My parents listened to him a lot, so a grew up with his music. One of my favorites is “De Tanto Amor” 

I love that  Yes!!!! He is such a great artist and I’m so grateful that my mom showed me his music

Day 11: our dear host allowed me to put together a list of ballads, but I’ll show some restraint and post only two  

So I felt like including Fleetwood Mac to this game and the first ballad I chose is Landslide, one of my favorites by them. 

Can I handle the seasons of my life? Well, I've been afraid of changin' ‘cause I've built my life around you 💔

The second ballad comes with a gossip. Stevie Nicks wrote this song after her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham ended, as a response to “Go Your Own Way”, which Lindsey had written around the time of their breakup. Silver Springs didn’t make it to the album Rumours. Twenty years later, Stevie and Lindsey performed the song together. The performance ended up going viral a few years ago due to its emotional weight: 

I just love the way Stevie stares at Lindsey as she declares: you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman who loves you. Absolute cinema

Day 11:

One of the saddest and most deeply affecting ballads I've ever heard. She wrote this when she was being controlled in her toxic marriage and it was released mere months before they broke up and I think it's pretty revealing. Mariah may have her diva attitude and all but this showed who she truly is. I can relate so much to this. Ok, I may not be a multi-millionaire but I am privileged and lucky in many ways and every other part of it is pretty accurate. That second verse...

Day 12

 

[bxr 3,964]

Honest preface: I haven‘t met everyone, so I’m unable to make a claim on a song that everyone knows … just in good faith, I felt it appropriate to make that note on the record

That said … “Happy Birthday” was the first song surfaced to mind … but then I was like, dive a bit deeper into something a bit more “musical” (no judgement, though) … and then I thought, “Joy To The World” (so, featuring a rendition I enjoy)

… then I was like, well to be fair, maybe balance the scales with something joyous from the secular repertoire … thus

 

[Bronco 29,872]

Day 12: 
Please rise for the national anthem
