Today’s my last full day in Chicago, and I already can’t wait to come back.

#songoftheday: Will Smith – I Loved You
At first, this track may come across as a typical breakup song, but it still manages to have that Fresh Prince air of positivity.
After all the venting about a lost relationship, Will Smith wraps it all up by saying it’s all good. He’s moved on. Live and learn.
#songoftheday: Seal – Kiss From A Rose
If there’s a better song to emphatically sing/pantomime along to, I sure can’t think of one.
#songoftheday: The Temptations – Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone
One of the best slow builds of all time. The Temptations add each layer on at just the right point throughout the song.
Once those clapping hands kick in around the 2:40 mark, I’m hooked every time.
#songoftheday: Michael Jackson – Billy Jean
It’s been my experience that this song is almost guaranteed to be played at least once, and nearly every wedding reception.
This single song’s been not just present for, but been a big motivation behind my change in attitude towards dancing over the years.
Growing up, the mere thought of dancing would bring on the intense anxiety, and fear of not only looking awkward, but being judged by spectators. At some point, Billy Jean came along, and it was less of a big deal to just move to the music. I stopped worrying about what people might think and just focused on what was important: having fun.
#songoftheday: The Radiants – Voice Your Choice
Today’s election day in Ontario, so get out there and vote.
Take some time to see what each local candidate’s done, what they’re planning to do, and what the heads of their parties have said and done. Pick the best choice, and make your opinion count. Don’t just blindly vote for some party because it’s an easy way to go.
If you don’t exercise your right to take part in the decision making process, you lose the right to complain about the outcome. So head to your local polling station, and put that number 2 pencil to use.
#songoftheday: Hot Chocolate – Every 1’s a Winner
Music to strut to.
#songoftheday: Michael Jackson – Billie Jean
This might just be my favourite song to dance to at weddings.
#songoftheday: DeBarge – I Like It
Oddly enough, I came across this gem by way of “Rump Shaker” by Wreckx-N-Effect. It turns out the lines, “I like the way you comb your hair, and I like those stylish clothes you wear” have been used in a few songs since this DeBarge hit.
#songoftheday: Banks – Are You That Somebody? (Aalyiah Cover)
Hands down, the best acoustic guitar version of a 90s R&B song that I’ve ever heard.
