Here is my end of summer playlist. I've noticed a theme throughout my recent favorites and I must be in a somber mood, because only a couple of the following songs are upbeat. Don't let that deter you from giving them a chance, though. Some of the most beautiful songs (in my opinion) are the ones that twist your heart a little or put a pit in your stomach. It's one of the amazing side effects of good music.

Hallelujah
Mindy is a local gal, but I'm afraid our little town is too small to hold this much talent...
Give all of her songs a listen, but my favorite is Anchor. It's sweet as can be.
"...there are those who think that I'm strange, they would box me up and tell me to change,
but you hold me close and softly say that you wouldn't have me any other way..."

can't wait to give them a listen and find out what you sing to while your editing :)
Hallelujah is SO unbelievable. LOVE it.
So funny...I was going to leave a comment suggesting you listen to Mindy, but then I got to the bottom and there she was. I guess I'm a bit biased {she's my cousin} but I love her new album. I need to take a listen to some of the others too!
I definitely need to buy Mindy Gledhill's album! I just listened to a few and love them! Thanks for the introduction :)
Mindy is Lindsey Winkel's older sister. Do you remember Lindsey? Anyway, I have always loved Mindy and she just keeps getting better. Don't you have a church album? Details woman! Details!
Ya Hayley...post your album!!!
Nah...
How in the world do you find these songs?? I am sooooo of it when it comes to new music! thanks for the post!
My summer soundtrack consisted (almost entirely) of "You Spin Me Right Around" from the Chipmunks Squeakquel. My kids seriously wanted to listen to that song whenever music was played this summer.
I will forever think of the Summer of 2010 as the summer of You Spin Me Right Around.
I guess that song didn't make it on your list. ;)
I'm enjoying your soundtrack recommendations. For my end of summer soundtrack (now that the kids are in school again ;)), I just discovered a song called "Lead Me" by Sanctus Real. It really fits the description of a song that "twists your heart a little" for me. Also, I've been listening to some JJ Heller. Like "Your Hands." These might be well-known songs...? But it's a new genre for me, so I'm not sure.
