Song: When Will I Be Alright? Artist: Ed Sheeran  Oh, I've been up all night Thinking 'bout dying I've just been wasting time When will I be alright? God is not on my side But God knows I'm trying I need to redefine When will I be alright? Listen to my heart beating Why is there this empty feeling? Losing hope and all reason When will I be alright? I have lived half of life Constantly fighting Cheeks bruised and knuckles white When will I be alright? Hold my breath to stop breathing Love, I used to know the meaning I'd wake up if I was dreaming But when will I be alright? I saw, now I am blind To all the seasons I see a fading light When will I be alright? Listen to my heart beating Why is there this empty feeling? Losing hope and all reason When will I be alright? I tried my best to stop her leaving I wonder about the arms she's in This is it, the end is nearing When will I be alright? Ooh

Song: Everything is AWESOME! Artist: From, The Lego Movie HAPPY LEGO DAY! 💛 I actually put together one of my brothers old lego sets and it was a lot of fun! 😂 I had to listen to this song as I built and I'm super proud that I did it! I didn't build with legos a whole lot growing up but all of my brothers LOVED them. I like that these daily holidays give me something new to do. And this song is AWESOME!!

Song(s): Gimme Love & Flames  Artist: Sia HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY! 🦘🐨 That's today's "daily holiday" on my calendar AND it's a real holiday celebrated in Australia (think the equivalent to Independence Day here in the US, controversy and all). I didn't have much time to do much more than google it and learn a little history. I'm also featuring a fun new song by the great Australian musical artist Sia in honor of the holiday!! Beauty Mate! 😉 You don't wanna dance with me But, babe, that's what I need Please now, just this once Dance, babe, dance, baby You don't wanna sing with me But, babe, that's what I need Please now, just this once Sing, baby, yeah La-la, la, la Sing, baby La-la, la, la, da, la Come now, do this just for me, yeah I don't ask for much Give me love, give me love, give me love, baby (Give me love, give me love, give me love) Oh, please now, do this just for me, yeah I don't ask for much Give me love, give m

HAPPY PIE DAY! 🥧

Image
Song: American Pie 🥧 Artist: Don McLean It's PIE DAY 🥧 according to my 2024 calendar edition of Every Day's A Holiday! The goal was to eat a pot pie for lunch or dinner but...that didn't happen. 😞 I'm currently out of town and some things aren't really in my control at the moment. The best I could do to "celebrate" today's "holiday" is listen to this song and learn a little bit about it . Hey, it's something !  I couldn't NOT include this classic! 😂 Childhood throwback! My young, nerdy, Star Wars  loving heart is so happy rn!! 💓

Today ends our Back to the Island "At Home" celebratory posts! I've really enjoyed these 😌 Technically, this would be the "travel home" day for the actual "Islander" participants with not events going on, but I'm not traveling (I'm basically  Snowed In 😉   back here in the states ) so I'm going to keep this party rocking! Hanson BTTI 2016 - Chain Of Fools Zac SLAYS on this Aretha Franklin song!! You better SANG BOY!! 😍🙌🔥 I haven't featured anything with Zac on lead all week 😢 Gotta show that boy some BIG LOVE!! 💗 Because he can SANG his face off!! Stories - Back To The Island 2017   Because I can't NOT share this song whenever I see it!! It's too good and sweet! 🥰 This was also the same year  I went to Hanson Day  a few months later in May and got to  hear this  song LIVE! I wish I could back to that day!! 😩 Best day EVER!! "Going Back to the Island" Hanson and AMMM! Back to the Island 2023 From just la

Back to the Island 2024 "At Home" Celebration Day 4 🌴🌊🏖🎉

Image
Only two days left so we gotta live it up!! 🎉🙌 There's so many songs left to share! Therefore, it's a 4 song kinda day on day 4! 😉 I've been enjoying going back through and watching performances from BTTI pasts, virtually. Still wish I could be there in person, but listening to my favorite musicians do what they do best, is always fun and comforting! End Of The Line - Back to the Island 2014 I LOVE THIS SONG SM AND THEY NEVER PLAY IT LIVE!!! 🔥👊😭 Granted, this is clear back from 2014 which is probably the last time they have  played it but STILL!! UGH!! SO EPIC!! "I wish that I was there, wish that I was there" Can someone invent a time machine already!? She's walking round in emptiness She's missing out All the goods she left in her prom dress She can't take back all her regrets Her only hope is what she did She'll soon forget The sky's a blur My drug, my friend Sometimes you can't avoid the lonesome bitter end She's breathing

Back to the Island 2024 "At Home" Celebration Day 3 🌴🌊🏖🎉

Most every year I feel sad to miss out on BTTI...some more than others. This may be controversial but the beach isn't one of my favorite places to go....😬 I don't like being in a bathing suit...or wearing "summer" type clothes in general, it's my least favorite season to dress for. This is due to a multitude of reasons, being self-conscious about my body being one of the main ones of course. I'm not what one would call "skinny" by a long shot. I'm not necessarily "fat" but I'm also not ideally "curvy"...pleasantly plump would be a good descriptor for my body type 🤣 #newyearsresolutionforlife Anyway...when I saw that this was a song Taylor pulled out of his back pocket and surprised everyone with a few years ago....it was one of those times that, I didn't care how uncomfortable being in a bathing suit makes me feel, I would have worn one willingly and gladly to hear THIS song played live! 😍😍 Are you kidding me!? I

Hanson posted a "youtube short" of them singing Kokomo by the Beach Boys and it is SO FREAKING GOOD!! 🔥😍 It made me think of when they sang this song as BABIES waaaaay back in the early 90's!! 1992 to be exact! 🤯 THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS ! ! 🥰 32 years later and BETTER then EVER ! ! 😍💓😭

Back to the Isalnd 2024 "At Home" Kick-Off! 🌴🌊🏖🎉

Hanson's annual Back to the Island (BTTI) music retreat begins today. Another year I can't go. Another year of FOMO and regret. 💔😔 I was planning on doing my "own" BTTI from home. Like, watching old BTTI videos shared via youtube or Hanson.net, making a tropical smoothie, listening to "beachy" music, stuff like that. I haven't done anything like that yet, but I guess I still have time to start. I've had an extremely depressing week. My mental health is completely shot and I feel so angry and sad. I can't pull myself out of this hole of depression and I don't really want to. I don't have hope. And it's sad. I truly just don't believe my life will ever get better, that I will ever change. There's no hope left for me. I wasted all of my chances, it's too late. I hate myself and don't feel like I deserve happiness, hope, love, change. The thing that really hurts is the neglect from my family. They don't reach out.
