5 Songs I Loved During Maternity Leave: Part 5

 source

As I mentioned in Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4, I had a lot of time to peruse the internet while I was on maternity leave. My son and I always enjoyed listening to music while I was working on the shop, and we would often find bands and musicians that we had never heard of before through YouTube. I wanted to share with you five songs that I really enjoyed listening to -- and discovered -- while I was on maternity leave back in 2011/12.

Ellie Goulding had a song that was already on the radio, but it wasn't one that I necessarily enjoyed. Fortunately she was redeemed when I found this beautiful song on You Tube. I don't remember how I found this song. It was probably a random link that showed up after I listened to a song from Adele, or something to that effect -- my son was actually in love with "Someone Like You", and it was the only thing that would calm him down in the car. But I digress. Ellie Goulding has a beautiful voice, and I was -- and still am -- in love with this song.

Lana Del Rey was yet another random find on You Tube. This song was actually a link that I clicked on after finding the first song that I shared by Marina and the Diamonds. I love the haunting nature of Lana Del Rey's voice. There is something so soothing about it.

Krewella was another random find on YouTube. You know those videos along the right hand side that are similar to the song that you are currently listening to? Alive was probably in there one time, and it was an instant hit in our house. My husband is a big fan of this style of music, especially with women's voices singing -- and Krewella does have fantastic voices.

I couldn't really tell you how I discovered Marina and the Diamonds. It was probably one of those random moments searching around YouTube, and I just happened to click on it because they thought it was related to some other songs I was listening to. Regardless of how I found it, I'm glad that I did. Marina Diamandis has such a beautiful and original voice, and my son and I enjoyed bouncing around the house to the song Primadonna. I also just found out that she has a new album coming out.

5 Songs I Loved During Maternity Leave: Part 1

While I was on maternity leave -- almost four years ago -- I had a lot of time to peruse the internet. One of the things that I discovered was how to use the links on the right hand side of Youtube to discover music that I probably never would have found otherwise. I wanted to share with you five songs that I really enjoyed listening to -- and discovered -- while I was on maternity leave back in 2011.

The first song that I will introduce you to is Banner from Lights. I actually attended a concert of hers while I was pregnant, and, soon after I gave birth to my son, Lights released a new album. I listened to it a lot while I was at home with my son. I love the message that her music sends out, and this one seems to have so much hope to it. Enjoy!
