Music is my Therapy

H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N ! ! !   🎃👻💀🕷🕸🧹🧟🧙‍♀️🧙‍♂️👽👾👹😈 I can't believe another Halloween has come and gone! It was a slower year for me, but I still had fun and made sure to do lots of things to help me feel festive all day long! I woke up early this morning (6:30 AM) so I could go back and read through and listen to my EIGHT years worth of Halloween posts!! 🤯 It took me almost an hour and a half to do so but it definitely got my day started on a "GHOULISH" note! I know, my priorities are....questionable, haha. I did a short "Halloween work-out" (which was dancing to all the "Halloween" songs on my Michael Jackson X-box game -  Blood on the Dance Floor, Ghosts, Smooth Criminal and Thriller! ). Then I decided to make things difficult on myself by making Pumpkin Spice waffles from scratch for breakfast...cooked in my mini pumpkin waffle iron because I'm me 😁 They turned out delicious but I made a mess of my already messy kitchen a...

Song(s): Over & Over & Run All Night Artist: Goo Goo Dolls Ready to get PUMPED UP the last few months of the year and into the next!! ✊👊 Both of these songs are inspiring to me and I meant to share them earlier, like back in August, but then other songs took precedence and felt more fitting. But these two still had to make the "theme songs of my year" list somehow, so here they are!  Picking up the pieces out they left you in again Love is all you want but you’re never gonna feel the same It’s hard to be yourself when everyone around is changing Open up your eyes and you’ll never lose yourself again And we go over and over and over again Are ya lost in the past thinking what might have been You’re here and you’re now started over and then Take it over and over and over again Turn it up Turn it up Old enough to know and young enough to live again Stare into the mirror but no one that you know is there (that you know is there) Shaking like its cold and no one’s ther...

Song(s): Everyday is Halloween, Burnin', Bad Witches, Sound of Running & Feeling Like Halloween Artist: LVCRFT 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE H A L L O W E E N AND ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE, EVERY GHOUL WAS OUT PROWLING AS THE WEREWOLVES GAVE THEIR BEST HOWL ! ! 🎃👻🐺 It's a 1...2...3...4... FIVE song kind of day!! I've gotta get as many "SPOOKTACULAR" songs in as possible to ensure this month goes off with a "FREAKISHLY" good BANG! 🎃👻💀😈💣💥 This has been quite a fun month for me music-wise! As I've mentioned a few times before, I have enjoyed listening to my EPIC Halloween Playlist all month long!! These are all songs I honestly don't really ever listen to until October so it's always a fun surprise to hit shuffle and let the Halloween tunes take over! 🎃🎵💀 All five of these songs come from my favorite Halloween music makers LVCRFT and they're all "WICKEDLY" good! I love me some themed music for a...

Song: Trick Or Treat Artist: Otis Redding I've been really loving this song lately! I don't remember how or where I came across it but it's a fun jam that isn't too... intense; as much of my Halloween music can seem to feel...a little dark and intense. I need something more old-school and refreshing, especially for a Sunday. It's kind of my thing. And the title alone makes it worthy to be included here, no matter the day! (Pssst, hey! Aren't you proud of me?? I'm only posting ONE song today! 😁). You say you love me, girl But you, you don't know, whoa When I come and wanna, wanna, wanna take you out Then you don't want to go, girl So if you love me (Don't say you like me) If you like me (Don't say you love me) I can't wait 'til Halloween to find out If its trick or treat I love you, babe But you're playin' Pitty Pat, girl But you know, you know, you know, you know, now That ain't where it's at, baby Now, if you love ...

Song: You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween Artist: Muse AHHHH!!! 😱 I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW CLOSE WE ARE TO HALLOWEEEEEENNNN ! ! ! 🎃👻💀🕷🕸🧛🧟 It feels like it's come so fast yet I've had such an enjoyable, long month of festive, fall activities! I can't wait to dress in my Wednesday costume , make my traditional Halloween dinner food (and a new Halloween-themed treat!) and end the night watching  THRILLER!!   Needless to say, this song (at least the title, lol) captures my feelings about the season right now: it sure does feel like H A L L O W E E N ! ! I'm SO EXCITED!! 😱🎃 You got me checking my mirror You make me feel like I'm on the run Where'd you hide the gun? The kitchen knife in your hand Are you the poison, are you the cure? I'm not so sure I'm shackled, there is no way out I can't escape When you turn out the lights You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween) It's Halloween (Halloween) When you skulk 'round ...

Song(s): A Whistling Lad (feat. Adam Chance) & Lullaby of Woe Artist: The Hound + The Fox I can never seem to share just one song anymore, can I? 😅 I just love this time of year so much, especially when it comes to music! I have had my Halloween Playlist on shuffle all month long and it has been a blast! 🎃 It's the little things that help immerse me in the season and feel the holiday spirit 😊 It might be corny and dumb to some people, but it makes me happy and that's what I want to focus on and care about. I have been a fan of this youtube couple for a while now, especially their "spooky" tunes (many of which, have been featured here on my channel over the past couple of years). They have beautiful voices that compliment each other perfectly and fit the "aesthetic" of the season. 🎃👻 These two songs are eerie and beautiful and I've really been enjoying them this month! Especially Lullaby of Woe , it's perfect "witch" vibes! And ...

Song(s): A Little Wicked & Killer Artist: Valerie Broussard Just a few "little wicked" type songs for your Halloween Party playlist that's sure to give everyone a "killer" good time! 😏 That was so cheesy, forgive me! 🙈 I just like the vibe of these eerie, dreary, creepy and cooky songs... "I'm a creeeeep...I'm a weirdooo!" 😬😅 "A little wicked," that's what he calls me Cause that's what I am, that's what I am No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne Beware the patient woman, cause this much I know No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne One of these days a-coming, I'm gonna take that boy's crown There's a serpent in these still waters lying deep down To the king, I will bow, at least for now One of these days a-coming, I'm gonna take that boy's crown Cause I am, I am a little wicked I am, I am Ha...

Song(s): Wednesday Main Title, Meet Wednesday, Paint It Black, The Monster, Burning Outcasts, Searching the House, The Monster is Here! & Wednesday End Titles Artist(s): Danny Elfman & Chris Bacon from, Wednesday HAPPY WEDNESDAY! After watching, and really enjoying, the hit Netflix show Wednesday this year, I have decided on being the dark child of woe herself, Wednesday Addams for Halloween! I'm kind of torn at the moment, trying to decide between the traditional black dress or the Nevermore school academy uniform. I got both, planning on returning the one I don't use...but now I love them BOTH so much!! HELP!! 😩 As this is the FINAL WEDNESDAY leading up to the Addam's Family's favorite holiday of the year, I thought it only appropriate to share some of the spooky music from the show today, on Wednesday . I always thought the music was really fun and spooky; it fit the aesthetic of the show (and Halloween!) perfectly! None of these songs include lyrics...

Song: Creep Artist: Radiohead, covered by Pentatonix HAPPY ONE WEEK TO HALLOWEEN DAY ! ! !  🎃👻🕷🕸🧹🧛🧟 This has been a pretty GREAT month for me! I've been able to do quite a few fun, festive fall/Halloween activities throughout the month; went to a Pumpkin Patch 🎃, went through a corn maze 🌽, I've eaten/drunk TONS of pumpkin spice things (doughnut, oatmeal , smoothie , muffins, caramels, cereal, Egg Nog, Frosty , etc.) 🎃, decorated a Halloween Gingerbread House, gone on tons of fall walks and bike rides 🚲, listened to the music from my Halloween Playlist all month long, done some "spooky" crafts, gone to my favorite Halloween stores, viewed fun Halloween displays and have definitely scared myself by watching lots of Halloween movies and reading Halloween-inspired books! 😂  Last week, I was a little down in the dumps and feeling depressed, despite all the fun I've been having. I hate when I get like that for seemingly no reason! But today, I feel l...

Song(s): Dangerous & This Place Hotel (Immortal Version) Artist: Michael Jackson LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! 👩👨 BOYS & GIRLS!! 👦👧 PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR.... 👏 THE 👑 KING 👑 IS. HEEEEEERRRRREEEEE!!!! You didn't think I could go an entire "Halloween Song Challenge" without including KING MICAHEL did you!? NEVER!! Dangerous is just such a fitting title for this time of year, wouldn't you agree?? And Michael's deep, seductive, smoky vocals add so much to the peril and drama of the song! You never know what could be lurking out in the streets after dark...or behind a closed door. 👀🚪 Beware of dangerous creatures hiding behind every corner!! This song actually goes along quite nicely with the book I just finished reading, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier . Sometimes, the most dangerous things are the people in our lives...Rebecca was one daaaannngerous and psychotic woman! 😫😱 #IYKYK The way she came into the place, I knew right then and there There was ...

Song: Harry Potter in 99 Seconds Artist: Jon Cozart This is EPIC! 😂 I remember hearing my brother sing it word for word once and I was mind-blown! 🤯 I'd never heard the song itself before so for a split second I thought my brother had just made it up but the further along he went I was like "No way, it's something he memorized!" lol. Don't get me wrong, my brother is super creative but this was a little too... good, haha. Again, I needed something more relaxed and calm after such an intense week of music, haha. Harry Potter is such a feel-good, comfort movie/book franchise dearly beloved by my nerdy family so it feels very appropriate for today! I also just love creative people who can come up with something clever like this!! Basically, each verse is briefly summarizing one of the 7 books/movies to the tune of the Harry Potter score by the legendary maestro John Williams! I love it! 🧡 There once was a boy named Harry Destined to be a star His parents were kil...

Song: Zombies Artist: AOL This week has been rather heavy in the music department so I thought I'd end the week on a more mellow note with this super cool diddy by some Jack Johnson-esque sounding singer named ALO! 😁 It's super cool and chill and I can appreciate that as a little break from the dark, loud and heavy stuff! Sadly I can't find the lyrics 😞 WATCH OUT FOR ZOMBIES ! 🧟
