Music is my Therapy

Hanson's "Finally, It's Christmas!' Live stream is TONIGHT!! In 1 hour to be exact. I can NOT FREAKING WAIT!!! I love Christmas! I love live streams and I LOVE Hanson!!!       

Song: Thankful Artist: Josh Groban I love, love, LOVE this song ESPECIALLY for this time of year! It's like the only good Thanksgiving song there is and it is beautiful! I love the message. I love Josh Groban's voice. This song is just so pure and true. We have SO much to be thankful for. We should count our blessings every single day. Even the smallest blessings are worth being thankful for. I love this time of year and I love this holiday. It's all about gratitude, family and FOOD (haha)! Some days we forget To look around us Some days we can't see The joy that surrounds us So caught up inside ourselves We take when we should give. So for tonight we pray for What we know can be. And on this day we hope for What we still can't see. It's up to us to be the change And even though we all can still do more There's so much to be thankful for. Look beyond ourselves There's so much sorrow It's way too late to say I'll...

Song: Glorious Artist: David Archuleta   This song is so beautiful and inspiring! It has such a feel good message reminding us that each person is wonderful. Each person is worth while and has something of value to offer to this world, despite our differences and weaknesses. This is a song from the movie Meet the Mormons . I highly recommend ANYONE ( LDS or not) to GO SEE THIS MOVIE. It just makes you feel GOOD! It makes you want to be a better person. And, it helps people not of our (the LDS ) faith to see who we are and what we're all about: love, family, Jesus Christ and service. I loved this movie, I LOVE this song and I LOVE cute David Archuleta! Just an all-around sweet and great person with a glowing spirit!     There are times when you might feel aimless You can't see the places where you belong But you will find that there is a purpose It's been there within you all along and when you're near it You can almost hea...

Song: Best Day of My Life Artist: American Authors   Why this particular song today? This over-played, slightly annoying, copy-cat of Imagine Dragons song? Well, simply because today truly is the BEST.DAY.EVER!!!!!!!!!!!   I'm a true-blue, through-and-through, paying member of Hanson.net and guess what folks? I talked to THE ONE and ONLY ........... ZAC HANSON today!!! Yes sir-ee I sure did, I sure did!!! And I am literally over the MOON! It was awesome. Yup. We're friends now. He likes me :) And he's helping me get my OFFICIAL  membership card here even faster. Yup, juuuuuuust for ME! (Okay, I may be over doing it here a bit, but bear with me). I am still a little starstruck. And overwhelmed. He was so nice to me :`)     I never dreamed in a million and ten years something like this would happen. Because things like this NEVER happen to me, but it DID TODAY and I am THRILLED!!!!!!! I will NEVER, EVER get over t...

Song: I Will Come To You Artist: Hanson   I dedicate this sweet song to a sweet and special lady on her special day, my mother! I know my mom will ALWAYS be there for me. No matter what. She is an amazing woman and I definitely don't tell her that often enough or express my love and appreciation for everything she does enough.     When you have no light to guide you And no one to walk to walk beside you I will come to you Oh I will come to you When the night is dark and stormy You won't have to reach out for me I will come to you Oh I will come to you  Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way Have no fear when your tears are fallin' I will hear your spirit callin' And I swear I'll be there come what may When you have no light to guide you And no one to walk to walk beside you I will come to you Oh I wil...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO "OLD MAN" HANSON, ISAAC!! ;)   I can't believe he is 34!! He started out at 16!! :O   Such a GOOD improvement!   I feel bad, because I've always considered Isaac to be the awkward, dorky older brother. But Isaac is definitely an essential and needed part of this amazing band and it really wouldn't be the same without him. You just gotta love Ike!   So, to apologize to this very talented Hanson member, enjoy this cute video of Taylor and Zac wishing their big brother a very Happy Birthday!   That is seriously hilarious! I can not believe Isaac dodged that cake smash, haha!     Alright, time to spread some Isaac love. Enjoy this montage of Ike songs :)   A Minute Without You - Middle of Nowhere (1997)   Love Song - This Time Around (2001)   Cute live performance! Isaac has always had a ...

Song: A Dream Worth Keeping Artist: Sheena Easton Haha, ok so this is yet another cartoon movie song but I've been randomly listening to this song a lot  and so yeah! Thought I'd share. It's from the movie Ferngully . Confession: I loved this movie when I was a kid and I still like it. I saw it in my 3rd grade P.E. class (random, right?). It must have been Earth Day or something because we were discussing how the "bad guys" were cutting down the trees and the weird creepy "pollution" guy or whatever he was supposed to be, is bad for us and pollution is bad for our air, etc. I'll also admit Zac was for sure a cartoon crush for me, haha. So embarrassing! Oh well. I still like the song. Anytime you want to be right here Just imagine me and all this will appear You can keep this moment all your life forever near. A dream worth keeping. When you're feeling lost I'll be your star Just reach out and touch me no matter where y...

Last week was a really, really bad week.   Josh Groban challenge? Ha. Forget about it! Didn't happen.   Today was better. At times. I still had my "moments of weaknesses" if you will, but I also had some pretty good moments.   So, if you couldn't tell from reading my blog, I have a really bad obsession with Hanson. Like it's a little out of control. But I do. And I'm totally proud of admitting that. I want to sign up for a Hanson.net membership. It costs $40 for a year membership but to me, it's worth it.   Hanson brings joy to my life. Hanson helps me through the really bad days. They've also helped me make some fun and wonderful memories. I want to support them. Because they mean so much to me. And if paying $40 is what I want to do to support them, then I WILL !!   But I want to really earn this.  In some small way. I don't just want to get it because I can. I want to feel like I really deserve it.  S...

Song: Smile Artist: Josh Groban This song is amazing! So inspiring. So sweet. So true. I love the words, they are so powerful. If I listen to this song every day (or at least every bad day) I think I will be a happier person. I truly want to find joy in my life, where I am, NOW . I have not been happy. I'm admitting it. I suffer from Social Anxiety (which is a BEAST) and I believe I also have some depression. I am challenging myself right here, right now to SMILE every day when I feel like crying, complaining or being upset about the challenges of life. I'm also challenging myself to listen to this song AT LEAST once every day for a week.. Knowing me, it will probably be several times a day. Also, Josh Groban has the voice of an angel. I adore him. Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it’s breaking When there are clouds in the sky you’ll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You’ll see the sun come shi...

Song: A Minute Without You Artist: Hanson In honor of the Live Stream tonight that I CAN NOT WAIT for! This is one of my favorite MON songs :) So stinkin' fun! "Cause when the MINUTES seem like HOURS and the HOURS seem like DAYS , then a WEEK goes by you know it takes my breath away! All the MINUTES in the WORLD could never take YOUR PLACE , there's ONE-THOUSAND-FOUR-HUNDRED-FORTY HOURS IN MY DAY !" This ^ is how I'm feeling waiting for this live stream, haha. Well I woke up this morning And the night had been so long Seems that I had had my mind on you Well the day, it has begun, and I can't get a minute, can't get a minute without you You're always on my mind, you're always in my head And I can't live, I can't live another day without you 'Cause when the minutes seem like hours and the hours seem like days Then a week goes by you know it takes my breath away All the minutes in the world co...
