Song(s): All'Improvviso Amore and You Raise Me Up
Artist: Josh Groban, Closer

You win if you can pronounce the name of today's song!! As I have previously mentioned, November is Josh Groban month and I am taking that seriously this year by listening to every single one of his albums in order. To be honest, I haven't heard many of the songs off his first two albums because most of them I don't understand, the reason being they are in Italian .... I personally like his later albums better because most of the songs are in English therefore I can sing along to them easier :0) But I listened to his album Closer while I cleaned my room today (!!) and when this song came on I was like "Ooo! I love this!" Hahaha. And guys. Josh was only 22 years old when this album was released!! :0 Which most likely means he was only between the ages of 20 & 21 years old when he recorded it!! AND WHEN HE FIRST SANG YOU RAISE ME UP!! Which is one of the most iconic Josh Groban songs ever and it was sung by a 20/21 year old Josh!!! HOW DOES HE SOUND THAT GOOD THAT YOUNG!? And to be even more impressive than he already is, his debut album (which includes the song I posted a few days ago, The Prayer, came out when he was 19! His voice is so controlled and strong and PERFECT and he was barely out of the adolescence stage!! I hate him. Haha, jokes, jokes! I love him). I am floored. I won't even think about what I was doing at 21 .... heck I don't like to think about what I'm doing now at 27....

ANYWAY. I love this song even though I don't understand it. And I have decided I will also be sharing Your Raise Me Up because it is one of the BEST Josh Groban songs and I hate myself for never posting it here before. Who do I think I am? Claiming to be such a big Josh Groban fan yet neglecting to share one of his most beautiful songs ever?? I am grateful for this song because it has been a light for me in many dark places and times. It is so beautiful it can bring me to tears. It is powerful and hopeful and oh so wonderful! I am grateful that Josh Groban exists and shares his voice with the world :) It makes me very, very happy! (And I needed to feel happy because today has not been a very good day for me ..... I was hurt by someone and am feeling very angry and not thinking the nicest thoughts or using the nicest words about them right now .... good thing Josh Groban music is here to save the day!).

*I won't worry about posting lyrics to a song I'm sure most readers of this blog will be able to understand let alone read :) Just enjoy the enchanting voice that is Josh Groban and relax :)*



When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... To more than I can be

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... To more than I can be

 You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... To more than I can be

 You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... To more than I can be

 You raise me up... To more than I can be

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

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
