Music Moves Me (December 9, 2024): Dancing Queen!

Posted on by Astrid

Hi everyone. I joined in with Music Moves Me many years ago and rediscovered it a few weeks back.

Guess what? On Saturday, one of the student staff had brought a Bluetooth speaker and he was blasting music in the other side of the home’s living room. One of the clients there knew the lyrics to every song. They were Dutch-language songs, none of which I knew, because that’s not my taste in music.

However, I at one point decided to move over there and request the staff put on a song I knew. The first band that came to mind was ABBA.

I and a few other clients were singing and dancing along and it was so much fun! The client who knew all the lyrics to the Dutch songs, sang along too.

We danced to a few more ABBA songs and then the staff asked us to name another artist or band. I came up with P!nk and mentioned her song Cover Me in Sunshine.

I honestly had no idea this song was a duet between P!nk and her daughter until I saw the music video list Willow Sage Hart and looked it up. I guess this makes me the most musically stupid person in the linky, but oh well. I just wanted to share that dancing made my evening. For this reason, I’m also joining in with Trent’s #WeeklySmile.

Several staff noticed how much fun we were having and they’re trying to get a Bluetooth speaker for the home. There’s a monthly dance event at the institution townhouse too, but that isn’t nearly as much fun.

  2. Welcome back to the dance floor, my dear! I’m delighted you rediscovered the 4M party. You picked such a classic with ABBA. That’s one oldies band you can never go wrong with, in my opinion. For their short existence as a group they made such a huge impact on listeners over the decades. I hope you decide to join the party whenever the music moves you. Until then, have a joyful and blessed Christmas season, Astrid!

    1. Thanks so very much for welcoming me back to the linky! Yes, ABBA had already fallen apart when I was born, but I love their music nonetheless, even though I originally got to know their songs through a cover band in the late 1990s.

  6. Dancing Queen is one of my all time favorite songs. What a mood lifter! The duet (I didn’t know that either song) was very nice, too. I wish I could be covered in sunshine, but it is winter so oh well. Alana ramblinwitham
