It's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
Tuesday is here again, which can only mean one thing, another three tunes from me and hopefully from lots of you good folks too. How are all of you music loving rockers from Castlebar to Cairo doing on this fine evening? Sure, isn't great to be alive all the same.
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 89th week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.
It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Weekly, I try to find three or five hours to listen to all of the fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interact with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.
Here are my week eighty nine recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday
** Drum roll please.....**
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Anyone Irish will of course have heard of snow patrol and for some, it may not be their cup of tea and that's fine. They are a band hailing from Northern Ireland and Scotland and they were big in noughties. I have always had a soft spot for them to be honest, there is just something about Gary Lightbody's voice that I have always admired.
This particular song will always remind me of my Granny, as it was playing regularly on the radio when she left this world, and she was what we call in Ireland a legend. The word legend does get bandied around, but my Granny was a pure and utter legend, a one of kind character and I still miss her dearly almost twenty years on. She lived with us for the last ten years of her life, so my siblings and I knew her better than anyone.
Snow Patrol - Chocolate
Another favourite of mine from Northern Irish crooner and his pals from the North and from across the sea in Scotland. This one comes from their breakthrough album Final Straw I would be interested to hear how many of the international tuners have heard of Snow Patrol and what your thoughts are on the band and the songs. They are a litte more Poppy than what I usually listen to, but as I said, there is just something about their sound that I like.
Snow Patrol - Run
Ok, I'll leave you folks with this last tune, again from 2003 album Final Straw. It is hard to believe that it's twenty years since I first heard this, jeepers that makes me feel old! Enjoy the song, laters.
