Song(s): Be My Eyes & It's Different Now
Artist: Pentatonix 

Two songs that I am dreaming and wishing could be my reality today. 😖 We have a big family party tonight where my singleness and loneliness is going to be on FULL display and to say I'm dreading it, is an understatement. And then the same thing - only tripled - is happening again on Sunday. My current plans are to hide out in my room rather than face the humiliation. We'll see how that works out.


Be My Eyes
This song is all about having someone see you for who you really are and can help you do the same. When you get hung up on your flaws and insecurities, the person who loves you and really sees you can help open your eyes to who you are inside. This could also come from a non-romantic relationship, but today the way I'm listening to it, I picture it being from a sweet, romantic perspective. It's what I dream of. On a side note: these lyrics are spot on! I love them!


Little white horses on carousels and quicksand
Am I one of you or one of them
Television dulls my senses and reactions
I can't seem to find my way again

The stranger that I call joy is
Who you are when I'm too far down
When there's so many inside voices calling
Where do I, where do I run right now

Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
When I can't see

Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
When I can't see

I can get caught up on little things and missteps
You rebuild the ground beneath my feet
When I get lost, I'm out of my mind, too in my head
You're the camera to refocus me

The stranger that I call joy is
Who you are when I'm too far down
When there's so many inside voices calling
Where do I, where do I run right now

Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
When I can't see

Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
When I can't see

Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
When I can't see

Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
When I can't see

Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
When I can't see

Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
Be my eyes
When I can't see


It's Different Now
One of my favorite PTX original songs from The Lucky Ones. 🤍 It's about being skeptical and afraid of opening up your heart because you've been hurt and let down too many times before. But, it's different now because the person who is making you feel a certain kinda way is different. Being vulnerable is scary. Someone who can help break down those walls, are worth keeping around...I'd imagine. This song seems to go hand in hand with Be My Eyes. Both are Kirstie leads and I think she also wrote both songs! She slays! 💅👑 Especially on this track; her vocals are so powerful and emotional! 😍



You understand my hesitation
Why I get quiet sometimes
All the ways I've been conditioned
What I think is real, you redesign
It's how you catch me every time

I rewind our conversations
Listen between every line
To relieve my superstition
I only reveal
It's only a sign
That it all adds up this time

I've been holding my hopes waist-high
So they don't tumble down
And keep me yesterday-bound
I've been holding my breath
Cause I don't want to be let down
But we're too far for that now
So I'm saying it out loud
It's different now

I don't need special attention
Just as long as you are mine
Then there's no reason to mention
What came before
The who or the why
Cause it all adds up this time

I've been holding my hopes waist-high
So they don't tumble down
And keep me yesterday-bound
I've been holding my breath
Cause I don't want to be let down
But we're too far for that now
So I'm saying it out loud
It's different now

Didn't mean to push away
Make you think I'm so insane
It isn't gonna haunt me no more (anymore, anymore)
Stay forever and a day
You'll never have to ask again, no way
Cause I can say

I've been holding my hopes waist-high
So they don't tumble down
And keep me yesterday-bound
I've been holding my breath
Cause I don't want to be let down
But we're too far for that now
So I'm saying it out loud
It's different now (now)

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 thei...
