Sister Songs

As some of you know, since March I’ve been kind of obsessed with the songs that go through my head. Mainly, obsessed with the fact that EVERY SINGLE MORNING as I wake up, there is a different song in my head. I’ve been recording them since 3/23 (that’s what the whole “Songs In My Head Upon Waking” list is about, for those who wondered)–and yes, literally, I have a notebook by my bed for this.

So with The Summer of Firsts and Lasts being just recently out, and both sisters and songs on my mind, I wanted to post for you what I consider to be the absolute BEST sister song:

I’m sure that there are lots of other good sister songs, and I would definitely be interested in hearing your thoughts about them. But while I was thinking of Sister Songs, this other classic also jumped into my head (because my brain is nothing if not a string of musical nonsequiturs), and just can’t resist sharing it. It’s not technically about sibling sisters, but still it could apply.

Hope you enjoy the classic videos. And I’m eager to see what else you find!

Songs in my Head Upon Waking This Week:
