Music is my Therapy

Song: Perfect Artist: Ed Sheeran HAPPY, HAPPY DAY OF LOVE!! I have been waiting for months  to post this gorgeous, romantic ballad!! I have been obsessed with it for a while now and specifically held off on sharing it until this very day. *   It is the perfect song to celebrate today with. The words truly are perfect. I love it. I'm in love with it. Ed Sheeran is a master at writing love songs. I'm smitten. I want this played at my wedding. I want this to be my love song with my future lover . I want to feel all the feels this song so perfectly captures and inspires. "I have faith in what I see n ow I know I have met an angel in person a nd she looks perfect.  I don't deserve this y ou look perfect tonight." I found a love for me Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love Not knowing what i...

Song: A Whole New World Artist: From Disney's, Aladdin  This is hands-down my most favorite Disney song! And I think it is so romantic and perfect for this holiday challenge. I love this movie and this song so, so much! It's all about seeing the world through new eyes. I think that's what happens when you're in love . You see things with a whole new perspective. Life is suddenly new and magical and an adventure just waiting to happen and you can't wait to jump in and enjoy the ride. Especially when your special someone is by your side. But what do I know? I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a magic carpet ride A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us no Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming A whole new world A dazzling place I never knew But when i'm way up ...

Song: Beauty and the Beast Artist: Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson A beautiful, romantic ballad from one of my favorite childhood Disney films! Although I love the original version (Mrs. Potts y'all!) I find this version to fit the "romantic" vibe I am going for :) I also just think this cover is brilliant! One of the best love songs of all time, so beautiful. <3 Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends Then somebody bends Unexpectedly Just a little change Small, to say the least Both a little scared Neither one prepared Beauty and the beast Ever just the same Ever a surprise Ever as before Ever just as sure As the sun will rise Ever just the same Ever a surprise Ever as before Ever just as sure As the sun will rise Tale as old as time Tune as old as song Bittersweet and strange Finding you can change Learning you were wrong Certain as the sun Certain as the sun Rising in the east Tale as old as time Song as old a...

Song: Can't Help Falling In Love Artist: Pentatonix Gorgeous cover of an iconic song. Pentatonix is just so good. I literally love everything they do! This song makes me feel romantic and like I want a lover to sing this song to. Wise men say, only fools rush in, But I can't help falling in love with you. Shall I stay, would it be a sin? If I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea, Darling so it goes, Some things are meant to be. Take my hand, take my whole life too. But I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea, Darling so it goes, Some things are meant to be. Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I can't help falling in love with you, But I can't help falling in love with you. HAPPY LOVE MONTH!! 2018

Song: For the Longest Time Artist: Glee cover, originally Billy Joel I used to LOVE this song a few years ago, especially this acapella version from Glee. I rediscovered it today and so, I have to share. Such a great song! The original is fantastic as well :) Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest) For the longest time (Time) Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest) For the longest If you said goodbye to me tonight There would still be music left to write What else could I do, I'm so inspired by you That hasn't happened (for the longest time) Once I thought my innocence was gone Now I know that happiness goes on I'll take my chances I forgot how nice romance is I haven't been there for the longest time Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest) For the longest time (Time) Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest) For the longest I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall And the greatest miracle of all Is how I need you, and how you needed me too That hasn't happened (f...

Song: Smash Into You Artist: Beyonce The queen B has made her official debut on my blog!! I'm one of those weird people who don't find Beyonce to be all that amazing. No doubt, she is incredibly talented vocally, but, I don't know. She's just a little too diva and too obsessed with herself for my liking. But, I did come across this song and have been really liking it. From the sound of the song, I'm guessing it's an older one of hers, but I tend to really like early 2000 era songs. There's just something so nostalgic about them. I love it! Cute song! Head down As I watch my feet take turns hitting the ground Eyes shut I find myself in love racing the Earth And I'm soaked in your love And love was right in my path, in my grasp And me and you belong I wanna run (run) Smash into you I wanna run (run) And smash into you Ears closed What I hear no one else has to know Cause' I know That what we have is worth first place in gold ...

Song: Some Hearts Artist: Carrie Underwood This song needs to be on my Single Girls Tribute playlist ! I came across this song on youtube a few months back and I'm obsessed!! Such a great song about looking for  love ! I hope my heart will be lucky enough to find love someday because, as Carrie says: "Some hearts they just get all the right breaks. Some hearts have the stars on their side. Some hearts, they just have it so easy. Some hearts just get lucky sometimes ."  I've never been the kind that you'd call lucky Always stumbling' around in circles But I must have stumbled into something Look at me Am I really alone with you I wake up feeling like my life's worth living Can't recall when I last felt that way Guess it must be all this love you're giving Never knew never knew it could be like this But I guess Some hearts They just get all the right breaks Some hearts have the stars on their side Some hearts, They just have...

Song: Fall Again Artist: Glenn Lewis I posted an MJ version of this song two years ago during my Month of Love Songs Challenge 2016 . This year, I have discovered the original version of the song and as much as I love and adore MJ and his beautiful cover, I have to say, this one is really quite beautiful and romantic. I've been listening to it and just really feeling the Valentine vibes if you know what I mean ;) It feels like a fire that burns in my heart Every single moment that we spend apart I need you around for every day to start I haven't left you alone There's something about you, I stare in your eyes And everything I'm looking for I seem to find All this time away is killing me inside I need your love in my life I wanna spend time till it ends I wanna fall with you again Like we did when we first met I wanna fall with you again We fought in a battle, nobody won And now we face a mountain to be overcome You can't turn away, the p...

Song: Only Us Artist: From, Dear Evan Hansen I have loved this song for quite some time. Part of the reason may be it's a love song for someone with social anxiety. And some of the lyrics in this song are just so incredibly powerful. For someone with crippling social anxiety, it is difficult to even begin to hope that someone will love and accept you for who you are. Evan's entire verse is so beautifully said from the point of view of a socially anxious and awkward person who desires love and acceptance. I hope to find that someday. I really do. I don't know if it's possible or if it will happen but if it does, my thoughts and hopes and feelings will echo Evan when he says: "I never thought there'd be someone like you who would want me, so I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go. But if you really see me , if you like me for me and nothing else . Well, that's all that I've wanted for longer than you could possibly know!" I don...

Song: God Loves You Artist: Jaci Velasquez Because I've been struggling a lot recently, the thought came to me to type into the youtube search bar " love songs from God." The search pulled up a bunch of Christian songs that I'll have to give a listen to at some point. This one caught my eye though because of the artist, Jaci Velasquez. I just posted a song by her a few days ago! Such a random coincidence! I haven't listened to it yet, so I hope it's a good one. I just need a song that reminds me of God's love . Because I need it. In the quiet, love is reaching It's yours to hold, be still and know that Even when you're lost and lonely And hope is gone, you're not alone Far beyond the understanding There's a hand that leads If you believe Through the darkness, see the light Remember God loves you The road ahead is long and winding With eyes of faith, you'll find the way, yeah And when the journey leaves you wear...

Song: Save the Best for Last Artist: Vanessa Williams Another older, random song that I have no idea how I know it but I just do! Maybe I'm being saved the best since I'm obviously last when it comes to love around here. It's a beautiful dream! Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes round the moon I see the passion in your eyes Sometimes it's all a big surprise 'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish You'd tell me this was love It's not the way I hoped or how I planned But somehow it's enough And now we're standing face-to-face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last All of the nights you came to me When some silly girl had set you free You wondered how you'd make it through I wondered what was wrong with you 'Cause how could you give your love to someone else And share your dreams with me Sometimes the very th...

Song: Imagine Me Without You Artist: Jaci Velasquez Such a beautiful song! I don't even know where it came from or how I know it. But I've been listening to it quite a bit lately. I hope to find someone who completes me in such a way that I couldn't imagine life without them. It's a dream I'm stubbornly holding onto even though I've come to the conclusion that I'll be alone forever. I just can't seem to give up on love ! As long as stars shine down from heaven And the rivers run into the sea 'Till the end of time forever You're the only love I'll need In my life You're all that matters In my eyes the only truth I see When my hopes and dreams have shattered You're the one that's there for me When I found You I was blessed And I will never leave You I need You Imagine me without You I'd be lost and so confused I wouldn't last a day I'd be afraid Without you there to see me through Imagine me w...

It's that time of year again.... The Month of Love!! To be perfectly honest though, I've been hitting a new low lately. I don't know what to do anymore. I've tried counseling. I've tried getting into a schooling program. I've stopped doing something I love so that I can move forward. Nothing seems to be working. I've just found myself more and more depressed and alone. But, I don't want to focus on the negatives (I just had to explain why I've been so MIA this past little while). And I want to keep with my tradition of spreading romantic music throughout the short month of February. So today, let's get things started with.... Song: I Just Called To Say I Love You Artist: Stevie Wonder I love this song :) I really do. It's catchy and sweet. It's got a nice message; don't wait for a special occasion like a birthday or holiday to tell the people around you how you feel. We should be saying "I love you" more often, e...
