Song: Hard Fought Hallelujah 
Artist: Brandon Lake

I'm not feeling super inspired musically at the moment. Perhaps it's due to the fact that I'm starving after a long day of work (long, but really good day 🙏), or the fact that I'm still experiencing major withdrawals from my Hanson concerts 😭 Why do they have to be so good?? Like, it would help if they were not just as good live (if better) or maybe didn't have the most perfect setlists, covers, voices and gave it their ALL every single time that your left with a permanent grin on your face, floating on a cloud in a state of utter euphoria...that might help 😉 I guess I'll settle with the fact that my favorite band is actually the very BEST so I'm just going to have to deal until the next time I get to see them live (or at least hear them perform via livestream....🎄🙏🤞).

This song popped up on my youtube feed the other day (how many times have I referenced finding songs via youtube?? I guess I spend quite a bit of time on there....😬) and saved it to give it a listen at a future date. I still haven't listened to it yet myself, so I'll provide my honest, live, first impression/reaction below. The title really stood out to me and I also noticed it was released only a couple of days ago so I have high hopes it will be good! 🤞

First Impression Reaction: Wow....talk about SOUL!! 😍 This is NOT what I was expecting at all but it sent shivers alllll over my body and soul! I looooove the passion!! And the lyrics are fire too! 🔥 This was like a gospel, soul, rock song in one! Made me want to throw my hands up in the air and praise the Lord! 🙌 What an anthem! That was amazing! 🤩 I'm a fan!


Yeah, I don't always feel it
But that's when I need it the most
So I'ma keep on singing
'Til my soul catches up with my song
There's times when my hands go up freely
And times that it costs
There's days when a praise comes out easy
And days when it takes all the strength I've got

I'll bring my hard-fought heartfelt
Been-through-hell hallelujah
I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail
Story to tell hallelujah
God, You've been patient
God, You've been gracious
Faithful whatever I'm feeling or facing
So I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt
It is well hallelujah
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Hallelujah, hallelujah

I've wrestled with the darkness
But I'm trying to reach for the light
Yeah, the struggle keeps me honest
And it breaks down the walls of my pride
'Cause faith isn't proven like gold
'Til it's been through the fire
Yeah, yeah
My head, heart and hands are feeling heavy
And that's when I lift them just a little higher

I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, been-through-hell hallelujah
I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn sail, story-to-tell hallelujah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
God, You've been patient
God, You've been gracious
Faithful whatever I'm feeling or facing
I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Mmmm, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-woah
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-woah
Oh-oh-oh-woah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, been-through-hell hallelujah
I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn sail, story-to-tell hallelujah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-woah
God, You've been patient
God, You've been gracious
Faithful whatever I'm feeling or facing
So I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt, it-is-well hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah

Mmmm, yeah, hallelujah
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Hallelujah, hallelujah, halle—, halle—
Hallelujah

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...

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

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...
