What are they calling this nowadays? I wanted to call it a mix tape, lol, but I do not think that is right. Anyways, about mid-week on week 1 I asked my students what songs are filling them with light right now. Yes, I am that sappy. Judge away. I did not get responses right away, so I told them Sofia (my 4 year old) suggested baby shark and that would be what we listened to during our class break next class. Then CJ came to the rescue with an amazing song. When class break time came about on week 2, we decided CJ's song was more appropriate for around midterm time. So we listened to Eddies suggestion. Here it is:
On week 3 we are listening to Kellen and Ellie's suggestions below:
I look forward to see what other suggestions my awesome Sport Marketers have to lighten up the mood during our class breaks and as we get to know each other better during the term =D
What about my online students and students from other classes? Post links to the songs that are filling you with light right now. Keep it PG please as this is an education bog ;P
Being a UT Vols football fan the song that is giving me the most light right now is Dixieland Delight by Alabama(the country band). This is the song played at all University of Alabama home games and ever since UT beat Alabama on Saturday, this song has been on repeat on my playlist. The joy of hearing it after UT beat Alabama is top notch. This song was also played at Neyland stadium after UT won the game on Saturday. Its not sappy like some may be but it brings me light LOL

Currently, I am taking classes to complete my master's, working full time, coaching cross country, and training for a marathon, so I need music that is peaceful and calming or happy and upbeat. Right now, I have two songs: Simply the Best by Billianne and Green Eyes by Jake Scott
ReplyDeleteThese songs help me remember not to take anything too seriously and to remember my "why" for all the things I'm doing. Hope they can bring some light to your day!
Honestly, when I'm feeling stressed or just overwhelmed with everything from school to personal life I listen to Respira by Luis Fonsi. It is honestly my go to song to remind myself to BREATHE! That everything will be okay and that no matter what happens, I got this. It's in Spanish but the melody is still soothing enough that you can feel the calmness take over.
ReplyDeleteMy go to artist for time to "chill" has been cover songs by a guy named Teddy Swims. He has a bunch of songs on YouTube and can be really good background music while working on classes.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! I believe I might try this with my own students or even ideas for when I study. Sometimes it is hard to tune noises and distractions out while doing classwork, so I can add some of these to my study playlist.
ReplyDeleteMusic is a very important part of my life and I believe music is a really important part of the sports industry as well. My favorite type of music to listen to is country. My two favorite artists right now are Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen. I would love to go to one of there concerts!
ReplyDeleteMusic is something that I always listen to while doing my work! It is relaxing for me. When I was in the 3rd grade I remember my teacher telling me to always get music that is relaxing to me. I have always liked Kenny G music so that is my go to when I am uptight or just need to chill and think.
ReplyDeleteI love music and how it tells a story. So many songs can speak to so many people. You have a unique way of connecting to your class. Too bad I'm online. Here is a cute song with excellent meaning.

ReplyDeleteSo many options. I love how you asked what songs are giving life right now. Obviously, I have my favorites, but I had to narrow it down to the ones that are really feeding me the vibes, positive, calm, etc that I need managing everything on my plate right now.
