Music is my Therapy

Song: Wanted Dead Or Alive Artist: Bon Jovi I heard this song while in a Halloween costume shop today and thought "Hey! This would work perfectly on my " Halloween Playlist !" So, here you go! His voice is a little creepy when he says "Dead or Alive" don't you think? The word "dead" also brings up frightening images reminiscent of Halloween and fear....and a cowboy is a very popular Halloween costume so.... It's all the same, only the names will change Every day it seems we're wasting away Another place where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night just to get back home I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive Wanted dead or alive Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days And the people I meet always go their separate ways Sometimes you tell the day By the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone all you do is think I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride ...

Song: Hellfire Artist: Peter Hollens (From, The Hunchback of Notre Dame ) As creepy and slightly scandalous and provocative this song is (and it's in a Disney movie!) I kind of like it....I know, I know. I'm weird. The music from The Hunchback of Notre Dame is just so good! And so underrated! And a lot of it is kind of eerie and creepy to be honest....But when I saw that Peter Hollens (one of my favorite youtubers) posted this video, I knew I had to feature it here. That thumbnail alone is pretty dang frighting! And Peter's facial expressions in this video are so disturbing and creepy, especially compared to his normally happy and cheerful demeanor! Great job Peter! And thanks for another great addition to my " HALLOWEEN Playlist!" (Also, if this song sounds familiar, it's probably because part of it was included in Peter's Epic Disney Villains Medley that I posted on Saturday. Check it out! ) Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti ( I confess to God ...

Song: His Voice As the Sound Artist: The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square , From The 188th Semi-Annual General Conference, Sunday - October 2018 I didn't feel it was appropriate to post a creepy " Halloween " song on the Sabbath, especially just after having listened to and having been uplifted and inspired by the talks and testimonies shared during  General Conference . It was a beautiful session today. My heart is so full of love. More love for my family, more love for our dear, sweet Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson and more love for my Savior Jesus Christ and my Eternal Father in Heaven. I pray that the messages and the Spirit that I felt will remain with me daily and I will move forward in an attitude of faith and love. I feel changed. I feel renewed, refreshed and inspired. The choir sang this gorgeous song at the conclusion of the Sunday Morning Conference session . I felt the spirit so strongly as they sang and I just loved the song. It is so beautiful a...

Song: Epic Disney Villains Medley Artist: Peter Hollens feat. Whitney Avalon What a fun, non-scary, but still totally appropriate for " Halloween " medley! What's "scarier" than a bunch of crazy, evil villains?? I'm not a fan of "scary" movies, so this is right up my ally! It's just a fun, light-hearted collaboration of classic Disney Villain songs that totally work for Halloween ! I give it a BIG thumbs up!  [URSULA] Poor unfortunate souls In pain In need This one longing to be thinner That one wants to get the girl And do I help them? Yes, indeed Those poor unfortunate souls So sad So true They come flocking to my cauldron Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!" And I help them? Yes, I do [SCAR] So prepare for a chance of a lifetime Be prepared for sensational news A shining new era Is tiptoeing nearer [URSULA] And where do we feature? [SCAR] Just listen to teacher I know it sounds sordid But ...

Song: Xscape Artist: Michael Jackson The King of Halloween is BACK!! Michael Jackson has so many songs that fit the Halloween mood so perfectly! This song evokes feelings of being afraid, frantic, trapped, hunted, watched and paranoid....all frightening feelings that go well with the creepiness of Halloween!  Even the way the name of the song is spelled makes it seem appropriate.... Dark Child Xscape, Xscape, Xscape Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look The system's in control, it's all ran by the book I got to get away so I can free my mind Xscape, is what I need From the electric eyes No matter where I am I see my face around They been lied on my name Then put them town to town Don't have a place to run but there's no need to hide I got to find a place, but I won't hide away Xscape, got to get away from the system rules in the world today Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationship has to go away Xscape, the man with the pen t...

Song: My Immortal Artist: Evanescence Yesterdays song was pretty intense, so I decided to give you something a little more calm and peaceful today ;) Even though the lyrics of this song are a little depressing, I find it to be very beautiful yet haunting at the same time. I get major Halloween vibes from this song, so that is why I've chosen it for today. Also, Amy Lee just seems to do a good job singing with a dark and "haunting" voice .... her voice literally makes me think of Halloween! I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these y...

Song: Hell To Your Doorstep Artist: From, The Count of Monte Cristo (the musical) I was able to see this musical a couple of years ago and it was so good! This song in particular really stood out to me; the actor who performed this song did such an outstanding job! The scene was intense and dramatic and I LOVED it! I don't know what that says about me, haha.....but you've got to admit, the song evokes a feeling of passion from deep inside your soul! Give this song a listen the next time you're feeling particularly foul tempered or feeling really angry with someone....or maybe not. This song embodies strong feelings of anger and we don't want anyone doing anything they'd regret....I should stop talking now, I'm just making things more awkward than they need to be, lol. It's just a song I secretly like to BLAST when I'm feeling especially pissed off at the world! Guess that cat's out of the bag now..... Anyway, I feel this song is fitting for this ...
