Grateful For Music Challenge Day 7: HAPPY JOSH GROBAN DAY!

-
Today, November really, truly OFFICALLY begins! Today's THE day of all days!! 

IT'S JOSH GROBAN DAY!!!

Take a look back through the EIGHT YEARS of November 7th musical blog posts past to more fully understand and appreciate my blogs own, little official "holiday" here 😁 I guarantee your day will be made more beautiful through the sweet, soothing sounds of Josh Groban and his heavenly music! I know that's what I'll be doing to unwind after a long, busy day.

Let's see which song I've chosen to offer on this honorary day of days for the year 2023:

Song: Broken Vow (Vocal/Piano Version)
Artist: Josh Groban

This year Josh is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of his gorgeous album, which includes the hit song You Raise Me Up, Closer! 😲 I know I've essentially "grown up" listening to Josh Groban's angelic voice serenade my house and home but You Raise Me Up is 20 YEARS OLD!?!? That's INSANE!!! It's truly a timeless song with a timeless message that will NEVER grow old, despite the number of years that will transpire! A MASTERPIECE!!

With this milestone year of a life-changing album, Josh is re-releasing Closer and including SIX bonus tracks THAT INCLUDE My December & She's Out of My Life!! I no longer have to listen to these songs via youtube or "live version" anymore!!! I'm so excited!! There's also a track titled You Raise Me Up (Extended Version) 😍 What does that MEAN?? An extra verse or two??? SO EXCITED!!!! 😭😱 The album officially drops November 20th! 

The song I've chosen to share on this special day of November 7th is one of the first "singles" for the new album with a now 40+ Josh singing a song from the album he released when he was only a 20 year old Josh!! SO WILD! 🤯 Still sounding as good as ever 20 years later!! 😍💓


Tell me his name, I want to know
The way he looks and where you go
I need to see his face, I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Tell me again, I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night while I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own?

I let you go, I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why?
I let you go, now that I've found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch, the one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time?

I let you go, I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why?
I let you go, now that I've found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

I close my eyes
And dream of you and I, and then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
I'd give away my soul to hold you once again
And never let this promise end

I let you go, I let you fly
Now that I know I'm asking why
I let you go, now that I've found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow


For your comparison pleasure 😊
This song was released 20 years ago!!

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
