Get up and move!

"Some songs never die," comments a user on YouTube.com. I think I have to agree; if you were hitting the club scene in the '90s or just listening on the radio today, Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap will make you get up and move. It seemed like the perfect song to play on this pretty spring Sunday to excite action and progress.

I especially like that when I went to look for the song on YouTube, I found different versions recorded through the years, but I specifically wanted to feature the two I have chosen for different reasons.

The first player highlights the original artist, following up nearly twenty years later, live. Maybe the beauty of the techno genre is the ability to enhance any sound, but I think you will agree this version is just as good as the original.



I also found this version remarkable. Recorded by Israeli singer and guitarist Sagi Rei, this version appeals to both a different culture and generation. Perhaps my age is showing, but I may like this one better for it allows me to enjoy my memories without trying to relive the time.



I hope you dance, move and enjoy this Music Sunday at Experience Optimism.
