FINAL GRATEFUL FOR MUSIC CHALLENGE DAY!! πŸ₯ΊπŸ™π… πŸ€Ž

Song(s): Better When I'm Dancing & I'm Not That Girl
Artist(s): Meghan Trainor from, The Peanuts Movie & From, Wicked

I know these two song choices are sooooo random and don't go together at all but bear with me!

I watched The Peanuts Movie last week because Charlie Brown gives me all the holiday vibes and it was so sweet and cute! I should have shared this song then, but I decided to feel sorry for myself instead 😬 But I had to include it today since, to me, it fits this time of year so perfectly! Cozy, nostalgic, sweet, pure and tender. πŸ’— 

And then I knew I had to share a Wicked song today since I just saw the movie! It was WONDERFUL and magical! The hype was well earned! I decided to share the number that stuck out the most to me. Technically, that would have been the EPIC ending with Defying Gravity but I don't want to spoil that for anyone, so I'm going with this one. It was hard not to compare the singing of every song to the original cast (especially for someone like me who grew up obsessed with Wicked and still knows every word to every song to this day! Who literally knows each inflection and note and literally acted out the songs with her siblings πŸ˜‚). So there were some songs and moments I struggled a bit with, having to remind myself not to compare them, but this one I thought was really beautifully done. And I've always loved it! πŸ’š



Mmm, hey, mmm
Hey

Don't think about it
Just move your body
Listen to the music
Sing, oh, ey, oh
Just move those left feet
Go ahead, get crazy
Anyone can do it
Sing, oh, ey, oh

Show the world you got that fire (Fire)
Feel the rhythm gettin' louder
Show the room what you can do
Prove to them you got the moves, hey
I don't know about you

But I feel better when I'm dancin', yeah, yeah
Better when I'm dancin', yeah, yeah
We can do this together
I bet you feel better when you're dancin', yeah, yeah

Pa-pa-pa-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da
Pa-pa-da-da

When you finally let go
And you slay that solo
'Cause you listen to the music
Sing, oh, ey, oh
'Cause you're confident, babe
And you make your hips sway
We knew that you could do it
Sing, oh, ey, oh

Show the world you got that fire (Fire, baby)
Feel the rhythm gettin' louder
Show the room what you can do
Prove to them you got the moves
I don't know about you

But I feel better when I'm dancin', yeah, yeah
Better when I'm dancin', yeah, yeah
(Oh) We can do this together
I bet you feel better when you're dancin', yeah, yeah, hey

Pa-pa-pa-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da (Come on)
Pa-pa-da-da
Pa-pa-pa-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da
Pa-pa-da-da

Ey
Oh, ey, oh
Oh, ey, oh
I feel better when I'm dancin' (Oh, ey, oh)
I'm better when I'm dancin' (Oh, ey, oh)
Oh, ey, oh
Oh, ey, oh

I feel better when I'm dancin', yeah, yeah
Better when I'm dancin', yeah, yeah
Don't you know we can do this together?
Bet you feel better when you're dancin', yeah, yeah

Pa-pa-pa-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da

You got to move it
Pa-pa-da-da
Pa-pa-pa-da-da
La-la-la-la-da-da
I feel better when I'm dancin'
Better when I'm dancin'
Feel better when I'm, yeah, yeah




Be sure to go give the OG a listen while you're at it if you like to compare and contrast like I do 😁


Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy, but I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Every so often, we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl


It's a little bittersweet not to be ending this yearly challenge with a "see ya next year!" type of send off. But I really, truly feel it's time to end this blog. I've been the most unmotivated I have ever been all year (if you couldn't tell from the months of neglect). Tomorrow starts my final month. The final "holiday challenge." I pray I can make it a good one because I feel like crap right now. I made poor decisions that have affected me mentally and physically (all this holiday food really caught up to me this year! I feel so nauseous right now hahaha πŸ˜…). I think I maybe shared one Josh Groban song all month....and I hardly even listened to him on my own time. This month became another "Hanson Month" for me since I got to go to the Underneath Experience tour! Highlight of my month AND year!! I haven't gotten enough of them since!

Thanks for listening all these years. I will forever be GRATEFUL for the joy, peace, comfort and healing power of MUSIC! πŸ™π… πŸ€Ž

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! πŸ₯€ 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...." πŸ€”). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... πŸ˜‚ Sorry about the dark humor πŸ˜ˆπŸ–€πŸ₯€ 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 thei...
