Mondays Music Moves Me

Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers? They are bloggers who blog about music each Monday and if you have music to share, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please!)   First, there is Marie from XmasDolly.  Her co-hosts are: Stacy from Stacy Uncorked, Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, and Alana from Ramblin’ with AM.

We’d love more music lovers to join us.  It’s easy! All you have to do is add your link with a music post that contains at least one music video (there must be a music video).  And that’s it!

Each month, except December, we have a guest conductor. Today we continue our month of holiday music.

Christmas Saves the Year” is a Christmas single written and recorded by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots. Released on December 8, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic through Fueled by Ramen, “Christmas Saves the Year” expresses the idea that even in a turbulent year, optimism can still be found in Christmas.

“Christmas Saves the Year” was written, composed and recorded in lead singer Tyler Joseph‘s home studio. Twenty One Pilots first debuted the track at the end of a Twitch stream in which lead singer Tyler Joseph played in the Chipotle Challenger Fortnite series tournament to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, after having teased “a gift” for the viewers of the stream.

    Sandee,

    I really appreciate you joining the 4M crew on the dance floor this month. It’s been a real pleasure and I think your presence at the party has gotten others interested.
