don’t be a Runaway – listen to the Symphony, you’ll be Good to Go so Let Your Heart Hold Fast!

Monday is here yet again – we need more “weekend” before it shows up, don’t we?

But since it is Monday, you know that Monday means music! This week is a freebie week, so grab your favorite tune(s) and come dance with us, will you? 

Let’s start with one of this favorite artist’s new songs, who recently released a hilariously fun retro music video that features clips of Cher, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jane Fonda, as well as footage from the USA National Aerobic Champions.

The video starts off with Cher speaking to the camera saying: “To have a healthy mind and healthy body, you’ve got to make a commitment to it…”.

I couldn’t find any more in depth info about the song or video, but the video is super fun, so that’s all we need.

Get ready for some fun, here’s P!nk with “Runaway”:

Next up, this favorite group along with Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles released a new song, their first collaboration project with Coke Studio, Coca-Cola’s global music platform. Inner City Youth Orchestra said:

“Music can transform the minds and lives of young people and our Collision song for Coke Studio was an opportunity to create a unique collaboration and musical experience. It was amazing to work with [this group] and produce this beautiful piece of music for all to enjoy.”

Give a listen to Imagine Dragons featuring Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles with “Symphony”:

Next up is a song that caught my ear when I saw an Instagram post from one of my favorite actresses (who happens to be married to one of my favorite country artists) who had this song playing in the background of a post of her ziplining. 

This Nashville-based, powerhouse duo who formed their group as a creative outlet for the eclectic, alt/indie tunes they’d been writing and producing for themselves and other artists collaborated with this artist, who has been described as “fun and refreshingly smooth”, “timeless”, and “taking the world of music by storm”, who is a singer-songwriter who is an industry unto herself.

These three have had their songs heard on every network imaginable, on multiple popular shows across the board. So they may sound familiar to you when you listen to this upbeat song.

Get up and dance, here’s LÒNIS featuring Daphne Willis with “Good to Go”:

Last, but certainly not least, is another song that caught my ear while I’ve been re-watching a favorite series, How I Met Your Mother. It’s a great way to unwind after a busy day working. 😉

This song plays during one of the most impactful scene in the series. The thing that hurts the most is when they zoom out and show Ted alone in his new building that is the same height as the Empire State (which is his lifelong dream) and just on the other side there’s the WWN building where his best friend and the woman he loved (at that time) just got engaged.

Barney: “It’s gonna be legendary.”

Robin: “No wait for it?”

Barney: “I got you. I don’t need to wait for it anymore.” 

Get ready for goosebumps – here’s Fort Atlantic with “Let Your Heart Hold Fast”:

That’s a wrap for this week – have a great Monday! See you on the dance floor!
