Grateful For Music Challenge Day 9

Song: Borderline
Artist: Ed Sheeran

What a day. It started out fine...then went downhill quickly. I'm having major PTSD with my new dog at the moment. She's been gagging/coughing and wheezing and she just "threw up" some clear liquid foam. I don't know what's going on with her and it's freaking me out! It's giving me flashbacks to when my dog was suffering from his CHF and would cough and wretch a lot. And of course I can't get her into the vet any time soon. On top of that, I'm feeling extremely unfulfilled in my jobs and life in general (I know, what's new?). I swear I'm on the verge of a mental break-down and panic attack every single night. It's all so embarrassing and things just never slow down! There's always something to be stressed and worried about! I don't handle "life" well. It's just a fact. Somehow I missed the "basic life skills class" that everyone else seemed to have taken. I literally don't know how to cope with anything or handle the most basic of tasks without an anxiety attack or meltdown!! I feel like such a failure and waste of a human being.

These lyrics, the tone and the visuals in the music video are all me right now. And how it feels I will always be. Ed's Subtract album is so relatable...it's his most depressing one so it adds up. 


Sadness always finds an in
Sneaks its way past, infecting everything
And every chapter has an end
But this is one momentous sequel, don't you think?

And the blackbirds, they fly
Like a frown on the skyline

Right now, I feel I'm running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out
I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?

Guess I should take this on the chin
But I don't even know how all of this began
We are made to mold and bend
How can I wish for nothing when it's still a sin?

Right now, I feel I'm running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out
I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?

Tears never arrive
These ducts are dry
We are so blind
Waiting on the borderline
Waiting on the borderline

So, I will pour another drink
And try to drown the pain with salt along the rim
And I'll shut off the things I think
'Cause nothing good will ever come from worrying

Right now, I feel I'm running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out
I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?

Tears never arrive
These ducts are dry
We are so blind

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
