Music is my Therapy

Song: It Must Be Halloween Artist: LVCRFT HAPPY H A L L O W E E N ALL YOU GHOULS & GOBLINS ! ! !   🎃👻🧛🕷🕸🧹😈👽👹👾 I hope you've enjoyed another year of spooky tunes from yours truly to help celebrate the season! I've listened to a lot of "Halloween music" this month, more than I usually do, so it's going to be quite a transition for me going from the intense and somewhat dark music to...Josh Groban, lol.  This song felt appropriate to end the month with! I saw lots of costumes, went to a Corn Maze and Haunted House, ate candy (literally got to trick-or-treat again as an adult! It was awesome, lol) and just finished watching my annual viewing of Thriller ! Yup, it's H A L L O W E E N alright! I had a really fun H a l l o w e e n ! I didn't have much of a theme like I have in the past but I still carved a pumpkin, dressed up, made my traditional H a l l o w e e n themed dinner (with a new addition of Berry Bloody Punch , DELICIOUS! 10/10, r

Song: Me, Myself & I Artist: Hanson This song captures the way I believe I will feel for the rest of my life. Everyone I loved is gone, at least that's how it feels. Some, physically, others emotionally. In the end, the only person who I'll always have, is myself.  It must be the end of the road It must be the end of you and I And forever too Walking the last bridge alone We've given up on the good times And the bad we knew When I'm alone in a cold, dark room, well There's still someone That I can tell my troubles to Me, myself, and I will never be alone We'll find a way to get along And we'll be fine When all that's left is me, myself, and I Myself and I will never be alone We will find a way to get along And we'll be fine When all that's left is me, myself, and I Mmh When did it start getting old? When did it stop being worth the time Just to see it through? I don't wanna get used to 'It's over' We've already said too m

Song(s):  Paranoid, No Rest For the Wicked & Skeleton Sam Artist(s): LVCRFT (feat. Jake Miller on Paranoid & ZZycho Ward on No Rest For the Wicked) I'm just gonna say it.... I LOVE LVCRFT!! They are out here making some of the catchiest, boppiest, scariest Halloween tunes around and I am here 👏 for 👏 it 👏! As you enjoy these new ghoulish musical treats, don't forget to check out Take It To the Graveyard (Boo-Yeah!) post from 3 years ago! The very first LVCRFT song I ever heard and still a favorite of mine to this day. I can't believe today is the second to the last day of Halloween music sharing! 😢 I've really loved all of my song choices this year and have had a lot of fun doing it! 🖤🧡 Paranoid (feat. Jake Miller) Probably my favorite new discovery from LVCRFT this year! It's so catchy and spooky and the lyrics are *chef's kiss 😚 * perfection! So this is the third song called Paranoid that I've shared during my years of Halloween advents.

Song:  Eaten Alive Artist: Diana Ross feat. MICHAEL JACKSON! This song is  SO COOL!! And I've never heard it until THIS YEAR!! Michael helped write this song! And he sings in it! The song was released in 1985, so a couple of years before Bad. Michael is an ANIMAL! And I say that in the best way possible, meaning he was non-stop from 10 years old until the very end. 😢 Honestly, I hear more Michael than Diana in the track! And he is soooo sexy! 😳😍😂 Animal stalking you at night I'm a sucker for someone And I got the prey in sight Lying on a bed of leaves In the modern times You forget and let your spirit breathe Capture me my blood is red Another victim of your ritual For you my skin is shed Ecstacy ain't what you find In the modern world One flick of my tongue changes The meaning of the world And you say That's impossible That's not impossible to do, oh And you digest what I can see The taste of you can be I don't wanna get eaten alive 'Cause you're

Song:  Freaks Come Out At Night Artist: Whodini BEWARE if you have plans of going out this weekend before Halloween! 🎃 The "freaks" come out strong and in mighty numbers, especially today, on this "Freakiest of all Fridays!" 😉😱 I'd stay home if I were you...👻 Freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night Discos don't open till after dark And it ain't till twelve till the party really starts And I always had to be home by ten Right before the fun was about to begin Crowds of people lined up inside and out Just one reason, to rock the house But in the day time the streets was clear You couldn't find a good freak anywhere, 'cause The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night (The freaks come out) The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night (The freaks come out) The f

Song(s):  Bad Moon Rising, Bat Out of Hell & Crazy Train Artist(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival, Meatloaf & Ozzy Osbourne Who knew Halloween music could be so ROCK N' ROLL!! 😝🤘🎸 I guess I did...I've definitely shared some classic, old-school rock n' roll tunes before. I have THREE songs today that, theme wise are totally Halloween approved (Bad Moon, Bats & Hell and the crazies) and that really ROCK! 🤘 Get your air-guitars prepped and ready as these bad boys are going to take you on one wild ride! Bad Moon Rising 🌑 I don't really know any songs from this group and this particular one isn't necessarily rock n' roll, it's more blue-grass/folky with a bit of a country twang to it. But, it's definitely old-school and the lyrics talk about the dangers of a particular night (October 31st perhaps?) and a bad moon on the rise...which is very Halloween so it made the cut! I don't know, I kinda like it! It's a catchy little ditty. I se

Song:  Al Capone Artist: The One & Only MICHAEL JACKSON! ALL RISE AS WE HAIL OUR H A L L O W E E N KING MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSOOONN ! ! ! 🎃👑🙇 Michael Jackson has made his official, yearly H a l l o w e e n debut here at Music Is My Therapy during " S P O O K T O B E R " and I am SO excited about today's song!! I discovered this song back in August. It's from the Bad25 Anniversary album as a bonus track of unreleased demos Michael recorded during the making of Bad that never made the cut. See Price of Fame for   another demo from the anniversary album that I love. I have been OBSESSED with this song since then and have waited to share it until NOW!!   This song is PERFECT for Halloween as it's basically part 2 of Smooth Criminal ! It's got a gritty and angry feel to it and the lyrics talk about someone who got away after committing a dastardly deed...the Smooth Criminal! Which apparently is the notorious Al Capone! And no, Annie is definitely N

Song(s): Call Me Cruella & Stone Cold Crazy Artist(s): Florence + the Machine & Queen If you've never seen Disney's live action Villain origins story Cruella ,  then you are missing out on what is the BEST Disney "re-make" (or in this case re- telling ) film to date! It's dramatic, creative and totally chaotic with a major twist near the end. It's perfect to watch during this time of year. These two songs are the perfect little ditties to add to this year's line-up of truly monstrous and psychotic songs, I am very proud of my selections this month. First up, an original song from the movie (or perhaps a new adaptation of the iconic tune  from the animated film),  Call Me Cruella by Florence + the Machine, who's overall sound and tone give me major Imogen Heaps vibes . The song has a dramatic flair which is perfect for Emma Stone's magnificent portrayal of one of Disney' most insane villains of all time! Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vi

Song: Monster Jam Artist: Zac Hanson HAPPY WEEK OF HALLOWEEN ! ! In exactly one weeks time, the holiday of frights and thrills will be here!! 🎃 Surprise! One more Hanson Halloween song for your ghoulish pleasure! I want to go to a "Monster Jam" this Halloween! 🧛👻👹👺👾😈 If only so I can follow the " Golden Rule " and avoid the terrors that await those who don't...😱💀 At the very least, I'll be playing this "monstrous" tune all Halloween night, whatever it is I end up doing! I hope you've noticed my pattern of sharing songs entitled "Monster/Monsters" every Monday this year! 😜 I'm so clever! Awoken from my dreams By the sound of screams As I opened my eyes You could see my fear I can't deny As I turned on the lights I was ready for a fight Cause who would play the drums this late at night As I opened up the living room door wide I saw a monster jam ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh With a werewolf drumming and the zombies mumbling

Songs(s):  Thirsty & Ghost of John Artist: The Hound + The Fox Two dramatic and spooky songs for this week leading into Halloween!!! Thirsty is an original tune from husband and wife duo The Hound + The Fox for the elusive Count Dracula and his mortal lover. I really don't know much about the original tale of Dracula and his story/origins but this haunting, pleading song of love and lust seem fitting for what I (think) I know about the relationship between Vampires and humans...yes, my days in the  Twilight fandom-past strikes again! 😳😂    Have you ever been surrounded by water but there's not a drop to drink? Have you even had your heart break? and now imagine with a heart that doesn't beat Are you thirsty yet? Are you thirsty yet? Do you thirst me yet? Have you ever wished for morning while you were mourning but the night just doesn't quit? Will you ever grant me mercy? Will you immerse me in the depth of your abyss Are you thirsty yet? Are you thirsty yet? Do

Song:  They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! Artist: Napoleon XIV Remember my songs from yesterday about "psychos" and "straightjackets"? Well, THIS is the guy who would be wearing the straightjacket!! 😂🤡 This song is incredibly disturbed and unhinged which makes it a PERFECT addition to this playlist of dark and disturbed tunes!  Remember when you ran away And I got on my knees and begged you Not to leave because I'd go berserk? WELL, You left me anyhow and Then the days got worse and worse And now you see I've gone completely out of my mind, AND They're coming to take me away, Haha, they're coming to take me away, Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha, To the funny farm Where Life is Beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see Those Nice Young Men In their Clean White Coats And they're coming to take me AWAY, HA HAAAAA You thought it was a joke, and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED When I had said that losing you Would make me flip my lid, RIGH

Song(s):  Straightjacket & Straightjacket Feeling Artist(s): Quinn XCII & All-American Rejects Straightjackets & crazy people go hand-in-hand. And crazy people and Halloween are a perfect match! 🙃🤡😈🎃 She's a psycho from a Midwest suburb No straightjacket could hold her Wild eyes, they would lure me in her trap I go mad just to hold her Until I noticed that something was strange Out of my range, there was no way back Something went off in my brain She was insane, here she goes again A psycho from a Midwest suburb I woke up and I told her You won't know me when the feelings all gone And I tell everyone And the look on your face will slowly come undone 'Cause it was all a front And quietly, I say it to your face That you will need to find another place to stay And no you won't know me when the feelings all gone And I tell everyone, ay She's a loose cannon with a temper, so absurd Hiding from the police, yeah Took pills with the name I'd never heard

Song: Lie To Me Artist: Madam Bandit  Mindy Gledhill's alter-ego is making a come-back this spooky szn!! 🎃👻 And this song is a million miles away from the innocent, wonder of discovery and youth I shared last month ( Rabbit Hole )! This track has a psychotic, obsessive, desperate, pleading feel to it. Makes me think of a vampire trying to seduce his lover...🧛 Ew, lol. That was a weird thought. I was a pre-tween when Twilight reigned rampant amongst tween girls, so you can't really blame me. Don't forget to check out the song I shared a year ago today , also from Miss Madam Bandit. It feels just as eerie and possessive as this one! Caught in the light Out of the blue Stealing my heart Like a fool on the run  But there’s nowhere to run to Don’t even try Don’t make a move Don’t ask me why I want you to want me so bad I don’t care if you Lie to me, lie to me Lie to me, lie to me We could try to be, try to be more More like lovers Lie to me, lie to me Lie to me, lie to me I
