Grateful for Music! Challenge

-
I LOVE this time of year!! We are getting so close to the holidays and there is a joy and magic in the air that is so exciting! It was very lightly snowing yesterday and I was as giddy as a little kid in a toy store with the magic of the season! Since this is the month of one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving, I thought I would do a Gratitude Challenge....Music style! I'm sure you've seen where people write down something they are thankful for every day....well I'm going to be posting a SONG I'm grateful for every day! I know we're already a week into the month, but better late than never, right? I am going to post 7 songs today (to make up for each of the days I have missed)! Please take some time to listen! I am so grateful for music! It truly is my therapy and I'm excited to try this out!
 
1. Bells of New York City - Josh Groban, Illuminations
 
For some reason, November is a "Josh Groban" music month for me. I can remember getting this CD, Illuminations, a couple Novembers ago and I listened to it on repeat all.of.the.time. I love the whole album and this song is one of my favorites! It's so beautiful!
 


2. Hidden Away - Josh Groban, Illuminations
 
This song is beautiful! I love the lyrics. "And all these words that you meant to say. Held in silence day after day. Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave. Please don't keep them hidden away....Sing it out, so I can finally breathe in, I can take in all you say. Holding out for something I believe in, all I really need today. I want to free your heart, I want to see your heart, please don't keep your heart hidden away....You're a wonder, how bright you shine....a secret dreamer that never shows. If not one sees you then nobody knows." Got a little carried away there but...you see!? Beautiful!
 


3. Happy in My Heartache  - Josh Groban, All That Echoes
 
To be honest, ever since we got this album, I never really gave it a good listen. I love the songs Brave, Falling Slowly and Below the Line. But those became the only songs I would listen too! I finally listened to the whole thing a couple days ago and fell in love with this song! I don't know what it is, but this song is so catchy and I find myself constantly singing/humming it to myself. It's a little different from Josh's regular style, but I love it!
 


 4. Straight to You - Josh Groban, Illuminations
 
Another "new" Josh song I had never really given a chance before. In fact, I don't think I had ever even listened to this song up until a day or two ago while I was washing a whole bunch of dishes (dishes I neglected after my Halloween baking from last weekend!)
 
 
 
5. E Ti Promettero' - Josh Groban Feat. Laura Pausini, All That Echoes
 
I don't understand a single word of this song but I LOVE it! It's beautiful and makes me wish I could sing Italian....and sing with Josh :) Gorgeous song!
 
 
 
6. Old Devil Moon - Josh Groban, Stages
 
Josh's latest album, Stages, is a fantastic, musical treat! There are so many gems, but this one really stands out to me. It's so romantic and Josh's voice makes me swoon ;) Mmmmhmmm
 


7. All I Ask of You - Josh Groban Duet with Kelly Clarkson, Stages
 
Told you it's Josh Groban month! I wasn't sure what to think when I first saw that Kelly Clarkson was going to be singing this particular song with Josh. She just doesn't really have that kind of voice, ya know? But once I listened to it a couple times, it quickly became one of my favorites! Josh's voice is still the winner but Kelly's powerful vocals definitely impress!
 
 
 
Stay tuned all month long for more songs that I'm grateful have become a part of my life! I promise they're not all Josh Groban! ;)

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
