Music is my Therapy

Song: This is Halloween Artist: From Tim Burtons, Nightmare Before Christmas HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I am not a fan of this movie....or of Tim Burton....but the song is so fitting and perfect for today's holiday, HALLOWEEN!! And it's a pretty fun song, I have to admit. Also, some people actually consider this to be a Christmas movie....to that I will do my best witch's cackle, HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE!! Or my best impersonation of Vincent Price's iconic laugh at the end of Thriller : MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! It's not a Christmas movie. Also, I hope you have enjoyed my week of Halloween songs! I've really loved doing it and listening to all of the fun Halloween inspired music I've found :) You can find all of my Halloween music collection, here .

I had to do two posts today so I could get all of my "Halloween inspired" songs in before the big day arrives (tomorrow!!) Song: Aha! Artist: Pentatonix  An older PTX song but one I just discovered and am loving! The song is catchy and has a definite Halloween vibe going on, especially if you watch the accompanying video. Eat, sleep and breathe that you're full of the stuff Go back and tie up tight Wheat-meat-dairy-free, tee total, Happy clappy high on life You should try it, You should know (you should know) You should know Go on while no one's looking A-ha! Caught you now! Caught you red handed in the biscuit tin! Cost you to keep me quiet Golden boy boots Pocket pedestal Making sharp smart moves Plastic, tin can, paper, separated Busy bee wave, wave 'Save The Planet' flag But sneaky in suburbia A-ha! Candid camera! Hook, lin...

Song: Panic in the Streets Artist: Hanson   Since the first time I heard this song, clear back in 2014, I remember it was in October and I thought: "Wow, Hanson even has a Halloween song! They really do have a song for everything!" Haha. I still consider this to be "Hanson's Halloween song" and love listening to it this time of year. It also is very nostalgic for me to think back to that year and time of year because I was so new (and consumed in) to the Hanson Mania and those were just really fun times for me. Ah, the memories! Still love Hanson so much! And this song!   *You get the majority of the song (Panic in the Streets ) but this is a   fan club member song (2014) so it's not very easy to find....unless you are a fan club member. But you get the general feel, right? Very spooky and dooms-day sounding. Creeeeepy! ;) Also, you get little snipets of a couple of others song from the EP, lucky you!*   You better run for your...

Song: Superstitious Artist: Stevie Wonder   This is actually a "new" song for me! I recognize it, but it's not one I've listened to a whole lot during the course of my lifetime. It's definitely a good one to listen to during the Halloween season!     Very superstitious , writings on the wall, Very superstitious , ladders bout' to fall, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way Very superstitious , wash your face and hands, Rid me of the problem, do all that you can, Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong, You don't wanna save me, sad is my song When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh Very superstitious , nothin' more to say, Very supersti...

Song: Smooth Criminal Artist: Michael Jackson   Such a good song!! The lyrics are a little creepy and disturbing but that's what makes it a good choice for Halloween, right?   As he came into the window It was the sound of a crescendo He came into her apartment He left the bloodstains on the carpet She ran underneath the table He could see she was unable So she ran into the bedroom She was struck down, it was her doom Annie, are you OK? So, Annie, are you OK? Are you OK, Annie? Annie, are you OK? So, Annie, are you OK? Are you OK, Annie? Annie, are you OK? So, Annie, are you OK? Are you OK, Annie? Annie, are you OK? So, Annie, are you OK,? Are you OK, Annie? (Annie, are you OK?) (will you tell us that you're OK) (there's a sign in the window) (that he struck you a crescendo Annie) (he came into your apartment) (he left the bloodstains on the carpet) (then you ran into the bedroom) (you were struck down) (it was you...

Song: This Place Hotel Artist: The Jacksons This song is catchy, haunting and spooky. I really like it! And I think it's perfectly fitting for our week of Halloween songs :) Especially with that scream at the beginning, creepy! And the panting at the end, as if you've just escaped from some terrifying experience. Enjoy! Live in sin Ten years ago on this day My heart was yearning I promise I would never ever be returning Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning As we walked to the room There were faces staring Glaring, tearing through me Someone said welcome to your doom Then they smiled with eyes That looked as if they knew me This is scaring me We walked up the stairs Still concealing gloom There were two girls (Sitting in my room) She walked up to my face Said this is the place You said meet you right here at noon This is Heartbreak Hotel Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel So this is Heartbreak Hotel This place is Heartbreak Hotel Ho...

Song: The Devil Went Down to Georgia Artist: Charlie Daniels Band Here's a fast paced, high energy and fun classic! Enjoy!! The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot. And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what." "I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too. And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you. Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due. I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you." The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin, But I'll take your bet; and you're gonna regret 'cause I'm the best there's ever been." Johnny, rosi...

HAPPY 31ST BIRTHDAY ZAC HANSON!!!   I can't believe he is that old....haha. No matter how old, Zac is still his same old, lovable, goofy self! That's the thing I absolutely love and admire about my favorite Hanson brother, age is truly just a number with him! He is never afraid to be himself and still be a child at heart. I want to be more like Zac!   This is the picture of the week and I love it! So funny!!

HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG SISTER!!! I can't believe she is 26 years OLD today! She is my inspiration, my best friend and my hero. I miss her every day. I'm thankful for the example she has always been for me. She is truly one of the most humble, genuine, funniest and loving person I know. I wish I could be more like her. I'm so sad I'm not able to celebrate yet another birthday with her in person. One of these days I will. And I willl make her a big, delicious cake! BIRTHDAY DEDICATION SONG: Song: Isn't She Lovely Artist: Stevie Wonder Just because I really think she is so lovely and wonderful! And I love this song :) Isn't she lovely Isn't she wonderful Isn't she precious Less than one minute old I never thought through love we'd be Making one as lovely as she But isn't she lovely made from love Isn't she pretty Truly the angel's best Boy, I'm so happy We have been heaven blessed I can't believe wha...

Song: Caught in the Storm Artisit: Goo Goo Dolls   Am I over doing it with the Goo Goo Dolls? I have a tendency to get obsessed with something and post about it for a long time. The Goo Goo Dolls truly have some of the most beautiful and heart-felt songs, which surprises me! They seem like such a hard-rock type of band and then you listen to their music and it's just like BOOM! Right in the feels! Their music truly has been an anchor for me this past little while though. I emotionally connect to them on such a deep level. Today, I've posted this particular song because I just like it a lot. It's catchy, upbeat, fun and has great lyrics! And that's really all there is too it! Today has been better. So, that's good!     When you kissed me Yeah, I felt so alive And every little secret you told me I keep down inside And in that heated moment, yeah, we swore we'd never change But all those pretty pictures they just start to fa...

Song: Big Machine Artist: Goo Goo Dolls   Maybe my depression is worse than I thought....I'm literally wasting my life and nothing seems to make me want to care or change or do anything about it! I'm hiding. I have no motivation. I don't even want to change anymore. I've just given in, given up. Very few things make me genuinely happy. I'm just mad! I'm angry about what happened!! And then I'm numb. And then I get overwhelmingly sad and cry and cry and cry and then I just distract myself from the pain and get on the internet and watch crap or listen to loud music and eat until I feel numb again. Feeling nothing is better than feeling hurt. Then again, doing nothing just makes me more lonely. And being lonely is painful.   I just felt a connection to this song the first time I heard it (which was last week about this time) and I've been listening to it obsessively for days.       Ecstasy is all y...

Song: Wherever You Are Artist: Disney's,  Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin   I don't care if this song is from some silly little kid cartoon movie. It is beautiful . And speaks to my aching heart that is still so conflicted, sad and confused. I miss them. I wish I could still be with them. I wonder if they miss me too.     Come out, moon... Come out, wishing star... Come out, come out... Wherever you are.   I’m out here in the dark, All alone and wide awake. Come and find me. I’m empty and I’m cold, And my heart's about to break, Come and find me! I need you to come here and find me, Cause without you, I’m totally lost. I've hung a wish, on every star. It hasn't done much good so far... I can only dream of you... Wherever you are. I’ll hear you laugh, I’ll see you smile, I’ll be with you... (giggles) Just for a while... B...

Song: Letters in the Mailbox Artist: Hanson   Haven't posted a Hanson in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time! It's about time (haha, that's a Hanson lyric! I didn't even do that on purpose!) that I posted one again. Today's song is a little silly because I thought of it after mailing actual letters today! I hand wrote and mailed some letters to some people I really miss. And this song popped into my head. Also, some of these lyrics are actually pretty applicable with my current thoughts and feelings about these particular people. And honestly, there has been something so fun about doing this! Actually writing out a letter to someone with paper and pen. Really thinking about the person and writing out what it is you truly love and appreciate about them. Writing out their address, the return address, sticking on the stamp and licking the envelope shut. Then walking to the mailbox and dropping the letters in, one by one. Knowing that th...

Song: Consider the Lilliies  Artist: MOTAB I listened to this song today to try to comfort my aching and breaking heart. To try to bring peace to my crumbling world. It helped. This song is beautiful and I really love it.  " And He will heal those who trust Him , and make their hearts as gold"     Consider the lilies of the field, How they grow, how they grow. Consider the birds in the sky, How they fly, how they fly. He clothes the lilies of the field. He feeds the birds in the sky. And He will feed those who trust Him, And guide them with His eye. Consider the sheep of His fold, How they follow where He leads. Though the path may wind across the mountains, He knows the meadows where they feed. He clothes the lilies of the field. He feeds the birds in the sky, And He will feed those who trust Him, And guide them with His eye. Consider the sweet, tender children Who must suffer on this earth. The pains of all of th...

Song: Name Artist: Goo Goo Dolls I literally just ruined my own life. I've made a huge mistake and there's nothing I can do now to fix it. Screw it. I deserve this. So, I'll put on my cover up after I've been crying. I'll wear my fake smile for everyone to see. I'll say I'm fine. But inside, I'm dying. I'm shutting down. I'm crying. I'm lonely. I'm giving up. It's all my fault. I wish so badly I could turn back time and fix this. But I can't. And I have no one I can talk too. Not that anyone would care anyway, not that anyone could possibly even begin to understand. "And even though the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away" "Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose, got tossed along the way" "We don't belong to no one, that's a shame" "Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far" "Don't it make you ...
