  4. Hi Nina!

    In your Opinion, is the music you chose interesting?
    And how would you describe Celtic music you chose?
    :)

  5. The celtic music I chose is really pretty and the singers have very soft voices. It is kind of slow so I wouldn't just sit and lister to it I'd have to be doing something.

    The instruments they use are, flutes, gutar, mandolin, and some others.

  7. Hey Nina, the website link didn't come through! Your music sounds cool. I haven't gotten in Celtic music in-depth, but I really like what I've heard. It would be a good stretch for me at some point. I look forward to your listening example!

  14. hi, I don't really have a favorite song yet but, a song i liked is called-The Prayer.
    Here are the lyrics-

    I pray you'll be our eyes
    And watch us where we go
    And help us to be wise
    In times when we don't know

    Let this be our prayer
    As we go our way
    Lead us to a place
    Guide us with your grace
    To a place where we'll be safe

    I pray we'll find your light
    And hold it in our hearts
    When stars go out each night
    Remind us where you are

    Let this be our prayer
    When shadows fill our day
    Lead us to a place
    Guide us with your grace
    Give us faith so we'll be safe

    We ask that life be kind
    And watch us from above
    We hope each soul will find
    Another soul to love

    Let this be our prayer
    Just like every child
    Needs to find a place
    Guide us with your grace
    Give us faith so we'll be safe

    Need to find a place
    Guide us with your grace
    Give us faith so we'll be safe

    BYE BYE!!!!!!!!

  15. Do they rhyme alot when they wright their music because the words in the song you put on the blog rhyme a little bit.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hi Nina, that is a pretty famous song! There are a lot of different versions of it. I've actually sung it before. I haven't heard a Celtic version, though! Have you tried doing something unusual while listening to your music yet??

    ReplyDelete
  17. I like most Celtic music. I don't listen to it a lot, but one of my all-time favorite songs is Celtic. It has fiddle and vocals, and it is really beautiful! What I love most about it is when I have a lot of energy and I hear it, I just get up and dance to it, and when I am bored and I listen to it I sing along, and when I am tired and I listen to it I fall fast asleep. The fiddle is really amazing... It is so lovely to listen to. I am listening to other Celtic music now too... I like it too, but it is making me fall asleep. It think this is due to the harp, but the vocals and other instruments are also beautiful and calming...
    I have never heard that song before, but the lyrics are really nice.

  18. Synthesia Doxyro Peregrine (be warned my name may change from week-to-week)- who are you?

    hannah-really? i didn't know that. what do you mean unusual?

    ReplyDelete
  19. A is the letter my name begins with.
    My name is read down here.
    Emily and Amanda are both rather close.
    L is the letter that comes next.
    I am in Middle School.
    And you are Nina, correct?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yep. So you are enjoying Celtic music?

    ReplyDelete
  21. yes i am though it is not the music i would normally listen too.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Cool! What type of music DO you normally listen to?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hey Nina, I mean . . . have you tried changing the way you listen? Like, have you tried listening to it while eating dinner or while cleaning your room? When do you usually listen? What have you tried to add variety to your Stretch Project experience?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Not yet but i promise i'll do it before bedtime! i think i'll try doing it while doing nothing eles. i usually do it while cleaing my room or taking a shower. :)
    for varitety i think i'll get another album or a few other songs.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I litened to the whole album while doing nothing eles.actually (i was blogging for half of it.) I noticed they have very high and light voices and they feel like loooong songs. In some other songs you cannot understand what they are saying but i can understand them very well.
    You know how you and laura dance to your music? well i think it would be a little hard to dnce to my music because it is so calm and slow.

    ReplyDelete
  26. does this music inspire you to tap dance?

    ReplyDelete
  27. what artists are you listening to?

    ReplyDelete
  28. do the people just play music or do they also song?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Nina is listening to Celtic Women.
    I believe this is a band, or some type of musical organization, and not just referring to females who are Celtic. And they sing as well, thus the lyrics.
    ...Unless they have instruments that use lyrics, if that is possible... I do not believe that that is possible. Again, never mind.
    And I think that Celtic music is the quiet kind, and Irish music is the tap-dancing kind.
    Unless Irish and Celtic are exactly the same things, and I am completely delusional... Quite possible.

  30. isabella,
    now i will answer you.
    i never thought about tap dancing with it. it is too slow to do that. not tap dancing music.
    they call them selfs celtic women it is a group of five-Chloe, Lynn, Lisa, Alex, and Mairead.
    it has both singing and insruments. those five people are singers and then there are other people who play the instruments.

  31. Hi Nina,

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  37. they're a group of women called Celtic Women.
    His? Yes there music is interesting.
    Yeah it is I never even new about Celtic music before the stretch project.

    ReplyDelete
  38. This has nothing to do with the stretch project but HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Happy Easter to you too! I went to Cesario's, and we hid Easter eggs for her little brother Toby.
    He had two baskets, so he would take the empty one and go look for eggs, while we would remove the eggs from the full one and hide them. Then we would give him the empty basket and take his full basket, and he would go look for the eggs again. Immensely entertaining, for both us and Toby.
    Also, Toby typed his name out on my blog! Twice!!!
    Here is the link: http://gravitationalacceleration98mssquared.blogspot.com/

    ReplyDelete
  40. *I KNOW that I put Toby's real name, but since he is three I doubt anyone is going to stalk him.
    Just to be sure though, I will only write the other people's names upside down and backwards:

    ɯollʎ=ɯɐppʎ' ɯouoloƃnǝ=ɯıɐ' ɔǝsɐɹıo=sɐƃǝ' sɐɹɐɟıu ɐzɹɐǝl zıuǝʇʇɐ = ɐɯǝlıɐ˙
    This is they key for people's names on my blog. Indigo wishes to remain anonymous, and you already know who Sparrowhawk is, so that covers it.

  41. I think i will share my music with my mom and see what she thinks and says.

    ReplyDelete
  42. She is in Middle School
    And she LOVES Shakespeare.
    Gosh, no words begin with "G!"
    Extraordinarily, her room is filled with books.

    ReplyDelete
  43. thats cool! can you do my name like that for me?

    ReplyDelete
  44. OMG!!!! i almost have 50 comments!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. now 50!!!! (sorry i had to do that)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Sorry that took so long! I am in Virginia now. We were driving and the internet crashed while I was posting the comment.
    Your name is kind of difficult to do an acrostic poem with, but here goes....

    Nice, funny, smart
    I know she is a good friend
    Natural at basketball
    Always kind and sympathetic.

    Sorry. The only half decent words that begin with "N" are Nonchalance, Nucleus, Norwegian and Nefarious. You aren't exactly nonchalant, you are not the nucleus of an atom (or the nucleus of a cell, for that matter) so far as I know you aren't Norwegian, and I cannot remember for the life of me what on earth "nefarious" means. Oh, and Nubilous. But NO ONE will admit that that is a word. It means "Cloudy, misty or foggy; vague or obscure."
    Oh well, sorry that wasn't the best.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  52. Oh. That's okay. But you can see pictures and listen to music and read cool stuff on my blog! And there is this random picture of a cow at the bottom, so when you click on the cow, it takes you to 'Charlie bit my finger again." i do not know why.

  59. yes the stretch project has changed the way i think about music. i didn't even something like celtic music existed! celtic is not my favorite but i probably will listen to it once in awhile after the stretch project is over.
    i haven't really thought about the next stretch project. i think i will check out some different kinds of music then pick one when the time comes.

    ReplyDelete
  60. yeah, I am Celia now. I think that I would like people to call me that in real life too... It is close enough to my real name, and it is way cooler and more interesting than "Amelia". Bleh. Celia is kind of elegant, but Amelia certainly isn't.
    And the blog is not QUITE dead yet. But I think I might start only checking G.A.=9.8m/s^2 and I.W.C.
    We are not still required to listen to music, but if you enjoy the music you should certainly continue to listen to it. But only if you like it though...
    I LOVE Streetlight Manifesto now, AND Tokio Hotel. They are both AWESOME! Wait, I should try Sigur Ros(s?) next, right?

    ReplyDelete
  61. THIS WAS MY LAST STRETCH PROJECT EVER

    ReplyDelete
  62. Now I might cry... sniff. But I will still listen to different types of music, and I will still blog, and I will still be friends with all you guys so don't worry.

    ReplyDelete
  63. i think i will quit blogging until next year when i have 100 comments

    ReplyDelete
  64. Oops, 101!
    Sorry, just had to do that...
