HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSIC IS MY THERAPY!!

-
I have to give my blog it's own OFFICIAL post to commemorate the 6th BIRTHDAY of Music is My Therapy!!! 6 years ago today, February 23, 2014 I created my very first post. I wrote down my thoughts and the relationship I feel I have with music and hit publish. Since then I have shared my heart, soul, passions, emotions, ups, downs, heartache, pain, happiness, joy, wins and losses through music. I have shared new music that I just barely discovered to songs I have known since I was a child. I have posted popular, well-known and loved pieces and some that are.....embarrassingly random and cheesy! Followers of MIMT have seen my musical taste change, grow and evolve. What started out as a seemingly "Hanson Music Fan Blog" has now seen me embrace a variety of music from as early as the 60's in genres from Motown to rock, county, Broadway maybe even a little rap! You were there at the very beginning of my discovery and eventual life long, dedicated fandom-hood to the King, Michael Jackson! My discovery of Dear Evan Hansen. My vulnerability with sharing my story of mental health illness through music. I've had the freedom to just be me....110% of the time. From my venting sessions, freak outs and "fan-girling" you've seen (and heard) it all! We've had holiday celebrations, birthday dedication songs and random, musical blogging challenges. This blog has been a diary of sorts where I have let the music do most of the talking. I love going back and reading through my past posts, remembering those times in my life when I was struggling or ecstatic and how music was always there to get me through it all. I remember certain songs I used to be obsessed with and listened to until I got burnt out! I even remind myself of songs that I have since forgotten are amazing and go listen to again.








If I've said it once, I've said it a MILLION times....MUSIC IS MY THERAPY!!! That blog title has never and will never change. Because it's true. I feel so proud of this blog. Even though it has never been successful and never served it's original purpose....my hope, in the beginning was to connect with other people through music. That I would get viewers and people would comment and we could become virtual friends. But I have learned so much just through reading my own humble, simple, silly or dramatic entries back to myself. I have seen myself grow and change. A lot has stayed the same (something I lament to on a regular basis) but.....I don't know. There are many precious times of my life that I have captured here.

I feel more motivated than I have in a long time to keep up with this blog! To keep sharing MY thoughts, feelings and music with anyone who might happen to stumble upon my little blog here. To remain true to myself through my writing and my music.


SO....

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSIC IS MY THERAPY!!!
WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME NOW!!
YOU HAVE SEEN ME THROUGH A LOT AND WILL CONTINUE TO!!
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE A PLACE I CAN BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY ME!!
THANK YOU!!

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
