Month of Loves Songs Challenge Day 5

Song: Kind Of A Girl

Artist: Tinted Windows

I have gone through quite the ringer the last week and a half!! It's been an extremely emotionally exhausting and difficult time for me but today I was able to get some positive news that brought much needed relief and peace of mind so I felt it called for a celebration!! 🎉 And that's why I'm sharing this song today. It's one I've been loving to DEATH and have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to share, which is today! 

I first listened to this song two weeks ago. Tinted Windows was a band formed in 2009, that only lasted about a year, made up of different members from previously known bands (from the 80's/90's): James Iha of The Smashing Pumpkins, *Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne & Ivy, Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick with lead singer, the legendary, one and only TAYLOR HANSON from Hanson!! Back when I was a new Hanson fan, I remember hearing about this band that Taylor was involved with for a brief time (though it was way before my time as a "Fanson" ... this discovery came after one of my "deep dives" in my Hanson research, haha. That sounds so creepy and stalkerish 😬). I think I heard one of their songs (it honestly could have been this one!) but I didn't think much of it. Fast-forward to literally two weeks ago, while I was working on a very long and time consuming project, needing something to listen to to keep me going when I decided to give Taylor's old "supergroup" a listen. I had the album saved to my Hanson playlist. 

Y'all .... I have been OB.SESSED with this song!! 🙌👊😝💙 I'll be sharing my other favorite song from the album tomorrow but this one is hands down my favorite!! It's so much fun and is SUCH a BOP and it makes me SO HAPPY every time I listen to it! I can't believe I've been sleeping on Tinted Windows for so long! Taylor is the lead singer (obvi) and his voice just MELTS me!! 😍 It's so fantastic! He's fantastic! One of my favorite male vocalists of all time! Luckily I never knew about him as a teenage girl ... the thirst would have been way too real and cringe! 😬🙈 He's such a cutie! And what I've always loved so much about Taylor is his passion! He sings with his whole heart and soul and it comes off so real and genuine, I can't help but feel it when he sings ya know!? You don't just hear him you feel him, in your soul! 

I'm fangirling so hard right now! It's kind of embarrassing, but I can't help it! I've just been so happy to discover new tunes (even if they are 10+ years old now!). I love discovering new music! It's hard for me not to want to listen to this every second of every day, but I try to resist so I don't burn myself out!

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do!! 😍💓

Woah-woah

Woah-woah

Woah-woah

Woah-woah

She's the kind of a girl you can't get enough of

She's the kind of girl you need to feel the touch of

She's the kind of a girl that can really shake up your whole world

The kind of a girl you kinda never wanna let go

Uh oh uh oh uh oh woah woah woah

I had some time to kill, I had a lot to learn yeah

She said I heard you got a little money to burn yeah

She said she knew some things to do, some places we could go

The way she looked I guess I kinda couldn't say no

Uh oh uh oh uh oh woah woah woah

And she took me by the hand

And she said she had some plans

And I tried so hard but I didn't quite understand

But she knows just what to say

And she always gets her way

And before too long it was clear as day

This girl was hear to stay

She's the kind of a girl you can't take too much of

She's the kind of a girl you kinda had enough of

She's the kind of a girl that can really take up your whole world

The kind of a girl you kinda wish you didn't know

Uh oh uh oh uh oh woah woah woah

HAPPY LOVE MONTH!!
