Best of 2010 - Retribution Gospel Choir to Savoir Adore

I'm sharing my favorite songs discovered in 2010 - 6 songs a day - I'll post the entire set in a YouTube playlist on December 31.

Retribution Gospel Choir - Hide it Away
"You think you have what you own."

Love the band name and love this song.

Runar Eff - Take on Me
"Slowly learning that life is okay."

Heard this one playing in the background of a TV show and had to track it down.  I was a huge fan of the original back in the day - but I think I love this one even more.

Ryan Bingham - Country Roads
"Might have took a few wrong turns, down a few wrong roads."

Ryan Bingham has become a huge favorite of mine this year - mostly for songs like this that make me want to set off on an epic road trip.

Sara Bareilles - King of Anything
"I'm not the one who's lost with no direction."

Sara does no wrong in my book.  This is one of those songs I find myself singing at the top of my lungs as I drive down the road.  If I had put this list together this week - King of Anything may have been replaced by her "Let the Rain."

Sarah Sample - Everytime I Go
"My stomach in the sky, my heart a battle cry."

An up and comer - such a great song.  For someone who spends too much time traveling and away from the people I love, this song really hit home for me.

Savoir Adore - The Garden

Great melody, harmonies and oh, so beautiful. Pin It

Greatest Mistake

I saw this quote a few weeks ago on one of my favorite blogs, Smart Pretty Awkward and haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing that you will make one."  

Elbert Hubbard

I can't help but think of all those times when I've been paralyzed, so afraid I'd make a mistake that I couldn't move forward.  Sometimes over something really silly like what color to paint a wall, other times over more important things like what job to take or what city to move to.  But with the benefit of hindsight I can say I don't regret the choices I've made (even those that didn't work out so well, because at least I learned a lesson.)  What I really regret are the opportunities I've missed because I was too afraid to make the choice.

Have you heard the new song from Sara Bareilles yet?  I'm kind of in love with it.
