Song(s): I'm Ready & Boat
Artist(s): Hanson & Ed Sheeran

It's a two song kinda month. 

First up, Hanson. Because it's Hanson month. And this is one of my new life anthems/theme songs. I want to feel Ready. Ready to overcome my fears. Ready to open up and get help. Ready to move forward and start living. This song makes me feel like I am...or at least that I can be. The uplifting message of the lyrics and swelling feel of the music, gives me a boost of courage and peace each time I listen to it. "I’m ready for, the barriers to come down." 👊💪🌻✨

Unfortunately I can't share the song in it's entirety due to the fact that it's a Member's EP song.
But, this small clip does include my favorite verse and Taylor sounds 😍😍

I’m living, on borrowed time
Little by little, I buy just a little, to ease my mind
I’m walking, down the thin red line
If I cross the middle, I die just a little, every time

And I cannot leave, but I cannot stay

I’m ready, I’m ready for, the barriers to come down
I’m ready for, the barriers to come down, down, down, down

I’m moving, towards the last sunrise
Hoping the night brings, all that the day-dreams, advertise
I’m choosing, somewhere I’ve never been
Threading the needle, trying to play the, perfect hand

And I cannot leave, but I cannot stay
Nothing I can build, that the world can’t break

I’m ready, I’m ready for, the barriers to come down
I’m ready for, the barriers to come down
I’m ready for, the barriers to come down
I’m ready for, the barriers to come down, down, down

Well I’ve lived with all the fear
That I’ll drown here at the break
But I know I can’t stay here, another day

I'm ready, I'm ready

I’m needing, more now than I’ve ever been
Little bit of courage, so I can discourage the doubt within
If the horizon, is more than a distant line
I don’t want to believe it, until I see it with my naked eye

I'm ready
I'm ready for, the barriers to come down
I'm ready for, the barriers to come down
I'm ready for, the barriers to come down
I'm ready for, the barriers to come down, down, down, down
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready



Next up, it's new music from Ed! I've been loving his latest album - (Subract). It's heartfelt and a little depressing...just my style. 

This song is about enduring. Enduring the challenges and trials of life, even when it feels impossible. Accepting that some wounds, some hurt, will never fully heal. But finding that inner strength and ability to dig deep and ultimately find the will and desire to keep going despite the challenges, pain and fear. I may complain a lot and not handle things in the best way most of the time, but the fact that I'm still here...that I get myself up out of bed every day...shows my strength. I don't give myself a lot of credit but I know I'm strong. Even if it's not apparent and obvious to anyone else. I don't know how or why I keep going; with all the depression I have inside, it's a miracle to me. Sometimes I wish I would just let myself succumb to the waves but for some reason...I won't. I can't. And I don't know why. I keep holding on and trying stay to afloat through the hard times and bad days. "But the waves won't break my boat."  🌊


Came in for the embers
Stayed out for the breeze
I need to feel elements to remind me
There's beauty when it's bleak

Stuck out long before lights down
Why do I breathe?

Oh, I know

The more that I love the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Maybe I won't

But the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat

Stones crash on the boardwalk
The wind rush through the trees
I keep my eyes peeled
The memories always fall short
Of what we could have been

Left out long before last call
What do I need?

Oh, I know

The more that I love the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Maybe I won't

But the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
The waves won't break my boat

The more that I love the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Maybe I won't

And the waves won't break my boat

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
