Jack Johnson Month Day 8: HAPPY WORLD'S OCEANS DAY!

-
Today's daily "holiday" is....

 "World's Oceans Day!"🌊

My post from last year had the perfect song to celebrate today with and I listened to it earlier. It's a Jack Johnson song, so no worries. Go take a listen. It's so relaxing and dreamy. I decided, with this "holiday" falling during Jack Johnson Month it was only fitting I find another song we can dedicate to the "ocean" once again courtesy of Jack, who loves the ocean :) He even tweeted about this holiday! So it's totally a real thing! And the connections are beautiful!


Song: Monsoon
Artist: Jack Johnson, Sleep Through the Static

This song is from Jack's 2008 album Sleep Through the Static. It's another one of those songs that I never paid much attention to until some time last year when it came up on my playlist and I am now obsessed! 💙 It's one of my new favorites from the album! It's just so cool and it's fitting for today because it references the ocean 😁 HAPPY WORLD'S OCEANS DAY!!" 🌊🏖


I feel sorrow for the fear
And everything it brings
Wonder if it will ever sleep
I know you understand
Because you briefly look away
Focusing on nothing
So now everything is clear
Cause there's no one to blame
You got no place to hide
It's only in your mind

And I saw you - in amazement
Stumbling through the day
You told me time - never waits
What is that supposed to mean?

All of life
Is in one drop of the OCEAN
Waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
and take them from our eyes
And make them into monsoons

And turn them into mon -
Sooner or later they'll weave their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Yeah, free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow
Always do, all into time
Because time never waits

Daddy don't day dream again
Just help me to believe and then
Show me that there's more than the meantime
Sonny, do you hear the sound?
You will feel it when it breaks
You will know it when its gone
How else can I explain?
Because it's only the pain
It's coming straight through
Come into a mind

Cross cut to you - in amazement
Stumbling through the day
You tell me that time - never waits
That's ok cause I don't wait for time

When all of life
Is in one drop of the OCEAN
Waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides, it can pull the tears
And take them from our eyes
And turn them into monsoons

Make them into mon -
Sooner or later they'll weave their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Yeah, free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow
Always break all in due time
Cause time never waits

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...

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

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 thei...
