Music is my Therapy

Song: Ask the Lonely Artist: Journey You've been thinking it's over What's that chip on your shoulder? Outside we saw the rainbow Inside is where the heart grows Picking up the pieces Something more to believe in As you search the embers Think what you had, remember Hang on, no don't let go now You'll know, with every heartbeat With love, nothing comes easy Hang on, ask the lonely You've got some fascination With your high expectations This love is your obsession Your heart, your prized possession Let down your defenses Open up to the one who cares As you search the embers Think what you had, remember Hang on, no don't let go now You'll know, with every heartbeat With love, nothing comes easy Hang on, ask the lonely When you're feeling love's unfair You just ask the lonely When you're lost in deep despair You just ask the lonely When you're feeling love's unfair You just ask the lonely When you're lost in deep despair You just a...

Song: Write You A Song Artist: Isaac Hanson Hanson's second single from R G B and its Isaac's time to SHINE! And oh boy, he does!! “This song is about holding on to the things that really matter in life, those simple daily moments that are precious and honest and go by so fast,” says Isaac Hanson of the song. “Whether it is between a parent and a child or a romantic relationship, it is important to capture those moments in photos, videos, and yes in songs, so that you remember them and make them last.” This song is heartwarming and good for the soul. It will make you smile and you won't be able to help singing along. The fact that Isaac  wrote this song for his daughter  is just...the sweetest. I can't even. 😍😭💓 It's got a folksy, blue-grass, almost country feel to it and I'm obsessed with the melody of the verses! It's so catchy!! And Isaac's voice sounds a little different; just in the way he is singing. It's not quite so "rocker"...

Song: In My Life Artist: The Beatles Aw man! I aged out of February! 😭 Too bad this couldn't have been a leap year. But this song is "my 29 on the invisible 29th day" song for February.  It's dedicated to my dog. And my grandma. I miss them both terribly. 💔 😭💔 Forever my angel! There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and...

Song: Never Let Go Artist: Hanson Today was my grandmother's funeral. It was sweet, heartfelt and tender. Full of love and admiration for a once in a lifetime kind of woman. Truly an elect lady. It's still difficult to let her go and to even believe she is really gone. Seeing her lifeless body lying in the casket at the viewing was difficult for me. I couldn't look at her for very long. Her spirit was gone. She didn't look the same. I'll always remember her with a big, warm smile and feel her hands on my face as she whispered how much she loved me. I will miss that. And her. Every day. 💔 So many times throughout the day the thought "I can't believe I'll never see her again" has crossed my mind. Usually thinking that brings me to tears. But today, I felt peace. I felt the peace of knowing I will see her again . And she will be perfect and whole, no longer struggling to move and walk. It is a reunion I anxiously look forward to. I am grateful for t...

Song(s): Joker & The Queen AND Love In Slow Motion Artist: Ed Sheeran I know I haven't done my annual Month of Love Songs challenge this year. I haven't been up to it. It's been a hard week . BUT , I do have to acknowledge Valentine's Day and share my two most favorite love songs of the season. These gorgeous songs are from Ed Sheeran's newest album and they are so beautiful and heartfelt and make me melt inside! 💓💕💗 Joker & The Queen has a music box feel to it; it's so delicate and soft. Starts off with a few notes on the piano and then the guitar and strings come in and it takes the song to another level! It's like floating on clouds ⛅ with rose petals 🌹 falling all around and candles burning 🕯 . It's so romantic and beautiful and if you can't tell, I'm in love with it!! My favorite! I also love the metaphor of the cards ( "You could fall for a thousand KINGS and HEARTS that could give you a DIAMOND ring .... when I FO...

Song: Child At Heart Artist: Taylor Hanson The Hanson Brothers are total BEASTS!! They literally never stop creating music and I am here 👏 for 👏 it!! Being a Fanson is exciting! There's always something to look forward to!  They have a *NEW* album coming out in May called Red, Green, Blue and what's super cool about this "concept" album, is it's basically three EP's in an album format where each brother has essentially a SOLO album/EP! This is something totally new for Hanson and I'm intrigued and can't wait to hear what each brother has come up with! Similarly to ATW they are releasing one new single from each "album" for the next three months (February - Red , March - Green & April - Blue ) until the album drops in May! This month is Red which is TAYLOR'S! Also, I like what they did here! Red dropped in February which has Valentine's Day, Green is dropping it's single in March which has St. Patrick's Day an...

Song: Umbrella ☔ Artist: Rihanna  Daily Holiday Thursday, February 10, 2022: Umbrella Day ☔ How else do you celebrate "Umbrella Day" when there is no rain or snow outside? With this song! Uh-huh, uh-huh (Yeah, Rihanna) Uh-huh, uh-huh (Good Girl Gone Bad) Uh-huh, uh-huh (Take three, action) Uh-huh, uh-huh (Hov) No clouds in my stones Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank Coming down with the Dow Jones When the clouds come, we gone, we Roc-A-Fella We fly higher than weather, in G5's or better You know me (You know me) In anticipation for precipitation, stack chips for the rainy day Jay—Rain Man is back With Little Miss Sunshine, Rihanna, where you at? You have my heart And we'll never be worlds apart Maybe in magazines But you'll still be my star Baby, 'cause in the dark You can't see shiny cars And that's when you need me there With you, I'll always share Because When the sun shine, we shine together Told you I'll be here forever Said I'...
