Something different
My weekends are important, they're the break I need to have between one week and the next in which I can forget the last for a couple days and ignore the next for a while at least. That's not to say the working week isn't good, it's just more dedicated to commitments ( my own and my organisations') than it is to the simple, and glorious, pursuit of my own (and partner's) happiness and enjoyment. On the weekends though, we are the priority.
We have a few things planned this weekend with one of them being quite different to most typical weekends; not something we haven't done before, but something we don't do often, and we're looking forward to it. Of course, what makes it even better is that this weekend is a long weekend due to it being Australia Day; I love Monday's off work. Yay for public holidays!
I'm not going to share that different thing we're doing just yet and may never share it because I don't like to put everything out there on the internet for strangers...but maybe down the track I'll write a post and share the (hopefully really good) photos I get.
What I'm happy to share is some music I've listened to over the week as part of the #saturdayselections music concept that popped up in my Weekend Engagement community a while back. It's not a popular concept but I like the idea of it so have done a couple of them myself.
Over the week I've listened to a lot of tracks from one of my favourite artists, Florida Georgia Line. I didn't listen to them exclusively but they got a lot of action on my speakers so it made sense to share some in this post. If you don't like country music then don't listen, and if you listen and don't like the music that's on you not me; I don't care if you like it or not.
If you want to have a go yourself feel free to do so with the tag #saturdayselections. Happy weekend, may it be a good one!

It's kind of sad that FGL isn't together anymore. They put out some great tracks over the years. I got to see them live once and it was a pretty amazing show. Tyler is still making music and has some decent singles on the radio. I hope you have a great extended weekend!
Nothing lasts forever I guess, but we can still enjoy the music huh?
For sure! "Dirt" is one of my all time favorite songs.
Well, I confess, I wanted to know a bit about the special and looked forward to plan, but guess you're right, not everything can be shared, so I'll keep the country music to check out, I kinda like it and that singer's new to me, I'll be with her in a minute to listen what she's got. Thanks for sharing, I'm always on the search of new music for a change and she had never popped up before. So, hope long weekend does just fine. Greetings.
Have a great weekend yourself, and give the tunes a listen if you get a chance.
I just did, I liked all 3, but Blessings I liked the most, also looked for more and found H.O.L.Y and Simple, I liked both a lot too and downloaded thanks for recommending and the wishes.
Yep, those two tracks are also awesome...all their songs are really.
Wow!! Iove the song from Florida Georgia Line. It was such a lovely song that I haven't come across before despite loving a country song.
Wome love's it when being praised. I will be happy to listen to more other music from you.
Enjoy your weekend and Australian day.
Seems Monday is going to be a public holidays over there?
Stay safe Boss
Hi Galen, very happy three day weekend. I liked the lyrics of Round Here.
Regards.
Yeah, it's a pretty cool track.
I hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks Galen. At least it will be long, I go to bed late and get up more or less early. Of course, not as long as yours. 😅👋
Yes, threesome weekends can seem long but also they're never long enough.
It's an unsolved mystery, the good times are always short and the bad times are long. So take advantage of this threesome...
Indeed I will...the next one isn't until the second week of March!
🤣 I'm going for a walk now, taking advantage of the fact that there are no people on the street... I won't steal any more seconds from you, because March is very far away...
I admit something, I am not a good citizen of my country, because I don't really like the country music of my country...maybe a few, and I won't say more because they crucify me...😶
I liked Blessings, the music and the video equally.
I'm not very good at musical posts, I don't understand why, I'm not an anti-musical girl, and I love American country music, I didn't know about the music of your country.
But that's what Hive is designed for, to strengthen cultural exchange.
Enjoy you and your partner a beautiful weekend.
The music in this post is by an American duo called Florida Georgia Line, they're not Australian.
Have a good weekend yourself too.
Well, the size of my ignorance is great and although I feel sorry for it.I don't have to know everything.
I should have googled before answering.
Have a nice day, sir.
I never said you were ignorant, just stated (as a correction) the country of origin was America and not Australia as you'd commented. But, if you feel you're ignorant then that's ok too.
Yes, sometimes I think I am at a certain level, but then I understand that I can also be very basic and I like that anyway... because knowing too much is not going to make me happy either.
I hope you are enjoying your holiday Sunday @galenkp
Yeah, Sunday is going well so far...bloody hot though.
I loved how you prioritize your happiness on weekends as weekends are our time to recharge. I hope your plans turn out amazing, and maybe we'll get a sneak peek of those mystery photos one day.
Amazing or average, I'll enjoy the weekend all the same. ☺️
I really liked the first song even though I'm not a big fan of country music, but I liked it a lot. There are many very good artists of that genre.... the third one didn't let me listen to it, the second one opened for me.
It's an interesting concept, I like the idea.
Today I will do home stuff, yesterday was a hard day and tomorrow, relax a bit with walks, I changed my mind, I prefer fresh air and breathing! Keep enjoying the long weekend!
Liking the music I like is not a requirement. Lots of people don't like country music and prefer other stuff...and I sometimes don't like what they like but it's not for me to say so, just accept that people like different things.
Diversity is the beauty of life and this is how we share. Hugs!
You are lucky to be resting on weekends maybe is because you are a man for all I know we women finds it difficult to rest during weekends because lots of work awaits us things like going to market, laundry, cooking, cleaning the environment and others. Keep feeling good with music
Hurrah for music!
I don’t like Mondays off because it sets the rest of the week up for failure. Stuff that would have got done on a Monday gets pushed to Tuesday and ends up making the rest of the week hectic.
Did you know that Mondays are the day you’re most likely to have a heart attack?
Having a public holiday on a Friday though is simply the best. Nothing of note really gets done on a Friday anyway and it means you get to enjoy the long weekend without worrying about what’s going to happen because you’ve got a short week.
Nothing of note gets done on a Friday? You'd not last long with my organisation should you work there.
There’s a reason why they say don’t buy a car made on a Monday or a Friday. 😂
