Richard Mas asked:


Recently, I was asked to contribute to an article about the best songs ever written.  Since I was thinking on the subject, I thought I would write a piece on what I believe are the Top 5 songs of all time.

Any list about the best songs ever is subjective.  It’s an opinion list and, by its very nature, the list is subjective.  I invite all of the suggestions and critiques you may have.

Let’s begin.

The first song on my list that can always be found on a list of the Top 100 songs of all time is Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here.  I heard a remake of this after the 9/11 attack and was driven to tears.  Wish You Were Here was written by Roger Waters in the wake of the death of a band member.   It is such a simple verse but resonates with anybody who has lost someone…which is everybody.

There are many people out there who think Pink Floyd’s music is only for certain types of people.  If you are one of those people, you need to reconsider.  Pink Floyd’s music, and especially the song Wish You Were Here, is timeless and will appeal to anybody with a soul.

The second choice in my Top 5 comes from one of the all time greats, Bruce Springsteen, and it is none other than Born To Run.  I recently saw Bruce perform his Superbowl act and was amazed that he can still jam so well at his age (there were times when I thought he might not get up from some of those dance moves though).

Born to Run resonates with just about everyone.  There are always times when we want to abandon our current situation and hit the road thinking, “baby, I was born to run.”  Then, we probably turn the car right around thinking I have a mortgage and credit card bills to pay.

Bob Marley’s No Woman, No Cry earns my top spot for number 3 on the list.  The Bob Marley Legends CD was a mainstay in everyone’s dorm during my college days.  In fact, I recall having an argument with my girlfriend and I wrote in my journal, “Perhaps I should follow Bob Marley’s advice:  No Woman, No Cry.”  My girlfriend later found this entry and it did not lead to a great day.

I was wrong however.  The song actually means, “No, woman, don’t cry” which is what I ended up saying to my girlfriend after she found my journal.

Number four on my list of all time favorites is Johnny Cash’s I Walk the Line.  This is perhaps on my mind because I enjoyed the 2005 movie with Joaquin Phoenix and it got me listening to this song, and many others of Johnny Cash, again.  This song is quite the opposite of Born to Run as Johnny Cash attempts to straighten out his life for his beloved wife.  It is quite life’s dilemma, is it not?  Stay or Go?

Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival earns the fifth spot on my list.  It summarizes the experience of a man faced with the prospects of going to the Vietnam war.  He is not a “fortunate son” in that he has no means (does not come from a privileged family) to get out of the war.  This song truly captures the emotions of the time.

Well, that is my list of the Top Five Songs of All Time.  As you can see, it does not include any of today’s Top Rap Songs or new hits, just the classics.  As I said, it’s subjective.  What is on your list?

Wedding songs are the life and soul of your wedding celebrations. They set the mood of the celebrations from the beginning to the end. Choosing the best songs for your wedding day celebrations can enhance the joyous mood of the day and make it a memorable event.

The weddings of the past featured traditional wedding songs. Today, couples can choose from a wide range of music. Choosing the best songs for their wedding celebrations is the most exciting aspect of the wedding day celebrations.

Couples usually select songs that are deeply significant to them in a special way. Playing such songs on the wedding day makes it a unique and personal experience for them. For example, a couple could select a song that they heard during their first date or a few songs of their favorite singer.

Consider the following points when you select your wedding day songs:

1. Venue

Select songs that suit the venue you have chosen for your wedding day celebrations. Wedding ceremonies are usually conducted in a church, and couples must first ascertain whether the church authorities allow their favorite music to be played within the church premises. Some churches are particular about the type of songs that should played during the services.

Other venues might not have placed any constraint on the type of songs that can be played. In any case, choose sober songs for your wedding ceremony, not the type of songs that might be in sharp contrast to the solemnity of the occassion. You can play all the amusing and entertaining music you like at your reception.

2. Music Band

Select a good DJ or music band that will create great wedding music for you. If you have decided to have a traditional wedding, you might hire a classical ensemble to play at your reception. If you are having a quiet wedding at home in the company of your friends and family members, you could get a flute trio, a solo pianist, or a string quartet to play your classical wedding music.

3. Planning Wedding Songs

Couples have to select several songs for their wedding. In fact, you have to select different types of songs for six different aspects of the wedding.

Prelude music is joyous and festive and is played chiefly to welcome family members and friends to your wedding ceremony.

The wedding procession marks the beginning of the ceremony, and the songs played at this time are to welcome the gathering and to alert the guests that the bride is about to enter.

A bridal procession is the most important part of the ceremony. Many prefer the conventional bridal march. However, the practise of playing different type of music during it can make it a unique and memorable event. Besides, it is quite acceptable in the modern days.

During the interludes, you can use a variety of songs to enhance the emotional charging of the environment.

Festive wedding songs should played during the recessional because the music is to celebrate the fact that the couple are now officially united.

The music of the postlude is more grateful, full of thanks to the guests who have made it to the wedding ceremony.

Michelle Bery asked:


When it comes to learning an instrument, practice always makes perfect. It’s not enough to understand the technical skill required to play; you must also integrate that technique into your playing so that it becomes habit. Only then can you begin to infuse your own personal style and personality into your playing. When it comes to playing the guitar, especially, learning important finger positions can prove tricky; but when you find an easy guitar song to learn, you can not only create the base from which all future learning can grow, you can quickly and easily boost your confidence as a fledgling guitar player.

You can learn guitar in one of several ways. If you are serious about beginning on this particular musical journey and wish to become a skilled guitar player who has a repertoire of songs at their disposal, then it may be best to work with a reputable and experienced guitar teacher who will give you hands-on lessons at their home or yours. Guaranteed that one of the first things you will tackle – after proper finger placement – is identifying that first easy guitar song to learn.

If guitar lessons with a teacher are cost-prohibitive, or if you are not interested in taking guitar on as a serious endeavor, you can do much to teach yourself at home. There are reasonably priced books, sheet music, and videos that will help you learn the fundamentals of guitar and give you a choice of an easy guitar song to learn. If guitar is simply a hobby or you only wish to have one good song under your belt, this may be the way for you to go.

Choose an easy guitar song to learn based upon your personal musical style. Or perhaps you have a particular song in mind that you would like to play in order to surprise someone you love or impress a group of people at an upcoming event. In either case, find that easy guitar song to learn and then practice as much as possible. With guitar, the initial awkwardness comes from learning your finger positions. But once you get used to it, you will be able to play enough chords to tackle the song you have chosen.

Choosing from among the songs to learn – if you don’t have a particular one in mind – may seem overwhelming. Remember that an easy guitar song to learn often has a certain amount of repetition in its chords; that’s what you want to look for – something that can be mastered with ease – due in large part to the fact that you are often repeating the same chords.

Once you find an easy guitar song to learn, you can be well on your way to enjoying the guitar; you may even find that once you learn that song, you have a desire to start learning other songs as you continue your journey with the guitar.
