Good Monday morning, here are my choices for GSOTD for today. Enjoy the tunes. Pop: 2 Become 1 by Jewel.  https://pandora.app.link/K8668VSiEbb 2 BECOME 1 is a nice melancholic song, but, shocking enough, I agree it wasn't the best choice as a third single, sure it was close to the old sounding Jewel, but if 0304 was praised about something it was Jewel's boldness to don't be afraid and try something new.  Singer/Songwriter: You Mean The World To Me by Freya Ridings.  https://pandora.app.link/0qvZHd6iEbb "YouMeanTheWorldToMe" is a ballad that FreyaRidings wrote alone in her living room about a period when her mother was ill.

R&B: This Is Me by Leela James.  https://pandora.app.link/TD8ZL0OjEbb  Singer, songwriter and R&B diva Leela James has no shame in her heart and wants you to feel the same way. Or at least that’s how she’s made us feel with her cover of “This Is Me.” You may know “This Is Me” from a little movie called The Greatest Showman, originally sung by Keala Settle. Rock: Dream Weaver by Gary Wright.   https://pandora.app.link/B5u1BWhkEbb The Dream Weaver is a solo album by Gary Wright released in July 1975.
