Song: Beautiful Lie
Artist: Goo Goo Dolls

I really....dislike myself. 

I know that's dark and heavy way to start off today's post but I'm so extremely disappointed in who I am. From the way I look, think, act and a myriad of other reasons I just feel so incredibly ashamed. And trust me, it's deserved. I'm not being "too hard on myself." I'm actually a brat. I'm actually selfish and judgmental and prideful.

Welp. I don't know why I wrote all of that just now. But, here we are. 

This song came out clear back in February and I have yet to listen to it! So that's what we're going to do today! I have to be honest, the word LIE in the title is what made me pick this song because....I told a small lie the other day and it's been haunting me all week and made me sick with dread and anxiety all day yesterday and today. It really was pretty "innocent" but a lie is a lie and I don't know why I did it. It was fueled by anxiety and fear of judgment but that's no excuse. It's become somewhat of a habit but it's "a habit I'ma break tho." 🙏😭

It's wild to me that just last week I was on cloud 9 feeling happier than ever....to this. Miserable. And depressed.  

To lighten things up just a smidge...who's ready for a live-reaction!? Coming in 3...2...1...

I'm not in LOVE with it but I did really enjoy it and will definitely listen to it again! Johnny's voice sounded great 😍 And I'm stoked to learn that they have a NEW ALBUM coming out next year and will be going on another tour and will be back in my state! Hope I can get tickets!! 🤞



Wake up
We had the time of our lives
Lost the rest of our minds
And all your makeup
Faded down from your eyes
Now I could see what's behind

Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
How could you be so cruel this time?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
How could you be such a beautiful lie?

Don't know why I tried
'Cause now I'm done inside
Don't know what it's like
To live a life, a new one
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie
Another day, ashamed
Tired enough to do nothing
Erase, the stain
You left a trace in my life
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie

Break up
Before we're breaking down
Keep your feet on the ground
Something stays stuck
Makes no sense and no sound
Never said it out loud

Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
How could you be so cruel this time?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
How could you be such a beautiful lie?

Don't know why I tried
'Cause now I'm done inside
Don't know what it's like
To live a life, a new one
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie
Another day, ashamed
Tired enough to do nothing
Erase, the stain
You left a trace in my life
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie

Another day, ashamed
Tired enough to do nothing
Erase, the stain
You left a trace in my life
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie

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...
