Music is my Therapy

Song: Creepin' Artist: Metro Boomin, The Weekend & 21 Savage Because of the song title...that's all I got for today! 🤷 Somebody said they saw you The person you were kissing wasn't me And I would never ask you I just kept it to myself I don't wanna know If you're playin' me, keep it on the low 'Cause my heart can't take it anymore And if you creepin', please don't let it show Oh, baby, I don't wanna know I think about it when I hold you When lookin' in your eyes, I can't believe And I don't need to know the truth Baby, keep it to yourself I don't wanna know If you're playin' me, keep it on the low 'Cause my heart can't take it anymore And if you creepin', please don't let it show Oh, baby, I don't wanna know Did he touch you better than me? (Touch you better than me) Did he watch you fall asleep? (Watch you fall asleep) Did you show him all those things that you used to do to me? If you'r

Song: Boris the Spider  🕷 Artist: The Who Bahahahaha!!! 😆😂 How this song didn't end up on my Halloween playlist looooong before this is criminal! I remember my dad telling/showing my siblings and I this song yeeeeaaarrrrs ago and I just now saw it another playlist and immediately had to add it to mine! It's PERFECT for Halloween! 🕷🕸 And I freaking HATE spiders!! 😖 The amount of spiders I had to dispose of this past summer alone that creeped their way into my house and home is unsettling! Bluck!! Speaking of, I just found an old, dried up spider under my bathroom rug today!🤮 Gross!! And just two weeks ago there was a GIANT BLACK WIDOW making her way along my back patio! 😱😭 I was so freaked out and didn't know what to do because my dad was in a business meeting, so I grabbed the bug spray and sprayed the HECK out of her! I felt a little bad watching her slowly demise but I was also gagging and shaking so much I didn't feel that bad... Anyway. This song i

Song:  Eyes Closed 😣 Artist:  Imagine Dragons Imagine Dragons are making a come back this spooky season (it's kind of been a theme the past couple of years to share an Imagine Dragons song on this day...I love when I have happy little coincidences like this 😊)! And this song is FREAK-TASTIC!!  I've been jamming to it since it was released a few months back and it's totally got the Halloween "it" factor; intense, dramatic, over the top...Halloween "trigger words" such as  "dead",  💀  "horrors", 😱 "wrath", "despair", "blood"  🩸...need I go on? This will be my first time watching the music video and based on this thumb nail...I think it's going to be  very  spook-approved! 👻 I could do this with my eyes closed I'm back from the dead From the back of my head Been gone and facing horrors That should never be said The wrath and the grit From the pit of despair Been taking every whip and word I'

Song: Houdini Artist: Dua Lipa noun ┃ "Houdini" a person or animal that is very good at escaping. It comes from the name of Harry Houdini, a famous magician and escape artist who was born in Hungary in 1874 and died in Detroit, Michigan in 1926. Houdini was known for his ability to escape from handcuffs, chains, straitjackets, and padlocked containers. 𝅘𝅥𝅮"I come and I go....catch me or I go Houdini"𝅘𝅥𝅮 Sounds pretty "ghostly" to me! 👻 #onbrand Okay Mm, ah I come and I go Tell me all the ways you need me I'm not here for long Catch me or I go Houdini I come and I go Prove you got the right to please me Everybody knows Catch me or I go Houdini Time is passin' like a solar eclipse See you watchin' and you blow me a kiss It's your moment, baby, don't let it slip Come in closer, are you readin' my lips? They say I come and I go Tell me all the ways you need me I'm not here for long Catch me or I go Houdini I come and I go Prove yo

Song: Amazing Artist: Ed Sheeran Literally just heard this song for the first time while in the store today and freaking love it! 💓 Connected with it immediately and knew it had to be my song for this month ✨ Because.... FACTS. Ed Sheeran is the BEST!  🖤 I caught a sickness and they don't know the name of it I flew to Paris tryin' to get away, mm I drown my sadness, embarrassed by the shame of it But all it seems to do is magnify the pain I wish I was a strong boy, head in the sand If I were them, I would be the man And my lips are searchin' for what happiness is I'm draggin' my feet, tryin' to breathe again Yeah, I'm tryna feel amazin' Yeah, but I can't get out of my way and Yeah, wish I could feel amazin' But this is all that I can feel today I tore the page and I put all of my weight on it So I could stop it, tryin' to blow away, mm The darkest days, well, I got all I could take from them Startin' to think it'll never change I

Song(s): The Prophecy, Cassandra & Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? Artist: Taylor Swift I can NOT believe how many Taylor Swift songs has shown up on this particular playlist over the past two years 😆 But, if it works, it works! I feel like these three songs could go hand in hand, talking about the same person. In The Prophecy , someone is fearful of a dark fate that is coming their way and hopes to change it. In Cassandra , this same girl watches the demise and destruction of another young woman (Cassandra) in a possibly similar situation, fearing that she will share the same fate. Finally in Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? the girl comes back  set on revenge for those who have wronged her in life! I don't know, I'm not super familiar with these songs, I've only heard them a couple of times. But it's giving me "witch" vibes again (see mad woman & I Did Something Bad for past examples). What's up with Taylor Swift and comparing her mus

Song(s): The Machine AND/OR Siren Call Artist: Zac Hanson 10/10 is a Hanson music day for me! If you know....you know (I don't have the time, energy or desire to explain in detail). I've historically posted Hanson songs on this day in the past. I listen to the Play EP on this day each year because I unintentionally started a tradition of doing so cleeeeaaar back in October of 2016 when it first came out (which happened to be today , eight years ago!! 🤯). And because of all that, I had to go with Hanson today! What I really wanted to share is a cool, non-lyrical, 3-piece musical story called The Machine  that Zac Hanson composed back in 2018...it's got major "mad-scientist-robots-taking-over-the-world" vibes going on so I thought it would work, haha. Especially considering I've been reading a super dark and creepy re-telling of the classic novel  Frankenstein  called  The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein. It's dark and disturbing but I've

Song: The Ballad of the Witches Road Artist: From, Agatha All Along I started watching the new Disney+ show Agatha All Along... it's quite dark and I may stop watching it since there's some stuff I don't really like about it and that makes me a little uncomfy (I'm not big on real witchy stuff....just light-hearted, "fun" Halloween witches...so if this gets any more...intense I amy have to stop) but as of right now, I'm still watching. It's very heavy in the "Halloween" feels/fear factor (at least for my faint heart 😓) and this song absolutely SCREAMS " s P o O k Y s E a S o N " so that's what I'm going with tonight! Seekest thou the road To all that's foul and fair Gather sisters fire Water, earth and air Darkest hour, wake thy power Earthly and divine Burn and brew with coven true And glory shall be thine Down, down, down the road Down the witches' road Down, down, down the road Down the witches' road Down

Song: Friends on the Other Side Artist: From, Disney's The Princess and the Frog I need to watch this movie again because Dr. Facilier is spooooky! 💀 He reminds me a lot of how creepy I always thought Rasputin was from Anastacia!   Don't you disrespect me, little man! Don't you derogate or deride You're in my world now, not your world And I got friends on the other side He's got friends on the other side That's an echo, gentlemen Just a little something we have here in Louisiana A little parlor trick, don't worry... Sit down at my table Put your minds at ease If you relax, it will enable me To do anything I please I can read your future I can change it 'round some, too I'll look deep into your heart and soul You do have a soul, don't you Lawrence? Make your wildest dreams come true I got voodoo, I got hoodoo I got things I ain't even tried And I got friends on the other side He's got friends on the other side The cards, the cards, the ca

Song:  Animals Artist: Maroon 5 Sadly, I've really not been very inspired this month when it comes to my daily posting....I mean, I'm totally doing all the "things" this S p o o k t o b e r i.e. I've decorated my house/bedroom, gone to a corn maze and haunted house, I've trying out various pumpkin spice related recipes, I've been watching "Halloween-esque" shows and movies, checking out fun décor and listening to my Halloween playlist. But when it comes to finding new music to share...not so much.  SO. I'm just pursuing my ever growing playlist on my phone and choosing a random song that I added at some point this year, thinking it gave off a "spooky", "eeire", "creepy" vibe....and that's Animals ! I haven't heard this song in a while so let's give it a listen! I obviously added it at one point keeping it in mind for this very season sooooo....it should work! OK....after going through the lyrics an

Song: We Don't Talk About Bruno Artist: From, Disney's Encanto Had to keep things lighter today because of the Sabbath and this beautiful Conference weekend. I love our Latter-Day Prophet President Russell M. Nelson. 💗 At 100 (!) years old he is still so sharp, eloquent and well spoken. Truly the sweetest, most humble, faithful man. I enjoyed getting to hear from him today; his words filled my heart with peace and the desire to do and be better. To remember my Savior daily and re-commit my life to him through my thoughts, words and actions. This song has already become a Disney classic! My family of all adults (besides my nieces and nephew) love this song and movie! I kid you not, there have been times where there have been no children present on a road trip and we are jammin' to this song! 😂 What can I say? We're nerds! Disney is for everyone... the young and the young at heart 💚 And the song totally fits in on this Halloween playlist...Bruno has a very mysterious

Song: As Long As You Love Me Artist: Backstreet Boys, cover by LVCRFT My favorite Halloween hit makers are BACK! 🎃👻💀𝅘𝅥𝅮🎧 And no, I'm not talking about BSB 😂 I've been listening to the LVCRFT albums (they literally only make Halloween music. I've shared several song selections from them over the years) and this was one of the tracks from the first album back in 2019. It's a creepy cover of the BSB classic hit,  As Long As You Love Me and it totally works! 😆 I did not realize that's what the song would be based on the title, but once it started I went, "hold up...what are these lyrics? I know this song!" Hahaha. It's too funny and random to pass up! I had to share it! The way the lyrics are sung gives the song a whole new meaning/feel. A spooky love song, I'm SO here for it! 🖤 I love a good unique, creative twist! And this is exactly that! Loneliness has always been a friend of mine Leaving my life in your hands People say I'm crazy and

Song: Pink Moon 🌕 Artist: Nick Drake, covered by Hanson This is most definitely NOT a "spooky" related song whatsoever! But the vibes are super moody and feel very fall 🌕🍂 And I HAD to share this hauntingly BEAUTIFUL cover on today of all day's because HANSON'S Underneath: Complete album dropped today! 🎉 Click the link to learn more about this monumental project and why it's such a big and exciting deal for Hanson! I'm so excited to listen to the tracks that could've, would've, SHOULD'VE been included on the fantastic, best-selling 2004 record Underneath. Be sure to check out the phenomenal documentary Strong Enough To Break for more context and information about what went into the making of the album that ultimately led Hanson to make the decision to go independent. It's an incredible journey and you can't help but root for them the whole time! They are truly national treasures and GIANTS in their own right in the music busine

Song: Ghost Town Artist: Benson Boone I overheard a little bit of this song a few days ago and I think I liked it....it's a "I-just-need-to-get-a-song-posted" kinda day for me where my creativity and enthusiasm is lacking. I don't know why I'm so down in the dumps. I had a really nice day overall. I've been feeling overwhelmed and sad for a lot of reasons lately....reasons I won't get into publicly. It's mainly me feeling sorry for myself but I digress.  Let's give this song a proper listen, shall we?.... You fill me up 'til you're empty I took too much and you let me We've been down all these roads before And what we found don't live there anymore It's dark, it's cold If my hand is not the one you're meant to hold Maybe you'd be happier with someone else Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself Before I turn your heart into a ghost town Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down Down,

Song: Goo Goo Muck Artist: The Cramps On Wednesday...we watch Wednesday. 🖤 I've been re-watching the Netflix show  Wednesday as I've been cooking dinner and doing dishes the past couple of days. She is my spirit animal...sometimes, lol. Sometimes she's real cray-cray 😆 I may or may not have actually braided my hair and dressed in my costume so I could do a little video about Wednesday watching Wednesday on a Wednesday....😑🤐😉 I totally did because I'm so extra and love costumes and dressing up! 'Tis the season! 👻 I watched the episode "Woe What A Night" where the infamous dance scene takes place and knew that had to be my song choice for this Woeful Wednesday! 😉 The vibe and sound of the song reminds me of Monster Mash so it fits right in with my zany, kooky, spooky playlist ! 🧟 Well, when the sun goes down and the moon comes up I turn into a teenage goo goo muck Yeah, I cruise through the city and I roam the street A-looking for something that

Song: Psycho Killer Artist: Miley Cyrus I honestly can't believe we are here again but.... HAPPY OCTOBER! 🍁🎃👻 I had a lovely, lazy day celebrating the beginning of the holidays. I took the most gorgeous walk (which happens to be in my own neighborhood...blessed 🙏) while listening to my Halloween playlist, made homemade Pumpkin Spice waffles on my mini, pumpkin shaped waffle maker 😁, read from Frankenstein (an adapted version so it's a bit shorter so I can more quickly get to my actual Halloween book: The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein ) , re-watched a few episodes of Wednesday as I cooked dinner, watched the latest Agatha All Along episode, indulged in some Monster cereal as a sweet treat because I absolutely loooove the monster cereals and they only come out this time of year so I...stocked up 😅#guiltypleasure and am ending the night in my bed with my Halloween lights on, writing this post.  I know I've already posted a version of this song before ...but I
