Grateful for Music Challenge Day 18: Man in the Mirror

Song: Man in the Mirror
Artist: Michael Jackson (Cover by Michael Henry & Justin Robinett)
 
You know it's a pretty incredible song when you're posting it for a SECOND time! Oh, how I ADORE this song!! It's so powerful and inspiring and uplifting and just simply BRILLIANT!
 
Today I am grateful for this beautiful song because it has such a powerful message. Also, because it's currently stuck in my head ;) But really. It's very close to my heart. I love how the song isn't telling someone else that they need to go be a better person and stop being selfish and go live a better life. It's talking about how we, individually, each person, needs to look within ourselves and be the change we want to see. It begins with us. With me. If you want people to be treated right, you make sure you treat people right! You want to see world hunger end, you do whatever it is you can to help. Put bad habits of selfishness, laziness whatever it is, behind you and start making a positive change for the better. It begins with YOU. I have also applied this song to my own personal situations. I want (need) to make changes in my life. And I'm the only person who can do it. I need to make that change. Get my driver's licence. Get a job. Go after a profession I want and start getting the training I need to someday get there. Be the better daughter, sister, friend, teacher, whatever it is and start doing it NOW!
 
Annnnndddd, I'm rambling! The point is, today I am grateful for this song. Because it makes me want to be a better person. It makes me want to better myself and make a positive impact in the world. Not to mention, Michael's passion makes you want to "make that change" and do something great! ;) This is one of my top 10 most favorite songs EVER! It's one of those songs I can listen to over and over and over and over and over and never, ever get tired of it!
 
Today I am posting this beautiful cover (by Michael Henry & Justin Robinett) :) I'm obsessed! Enjoy!

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In their enth
