Music is my Therapy

Song:  I Am The Grinch Artist: Tyler, the Creator Watched the 2018 animated film The Grinch today while making frosting for my Christmas cookie party tonight! So I decided I would share this somewhat odd, but also kinda low-key fire song for today's post 😁😝 Grinch representation forever! 💚 Now I just need to watch the Jim Carrey version and I'll be good! It's too funny! 😂 Well, it's off to the party I go! Dashing through all of the glorious, December, Christmastime sn...oh wait. Never mind. Today was sunny and WARM! 😠 Not a cloud - or snowflake - in the sky! I'm going to be needing some snow real soon or I'll....well. Ya know. I'll be a bit of Grinch if ya know what I mean. As of now, the weather app is teasing me saying there's a 40% chance of snow on Christmas day but with a high of 40 I doubt it. 😭 I JUST WANT A WHITE CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR!! 😭🤞 Is that too much to ask?? I can't even remember the last time I experienced one...not the magi...

Song: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Artist: The Goo Goo Dolls This has become one of my favorite Christmas songs over the years so I'll always share whatever cover I find and love...especially if it's by one of my favorite artists 😉 I remember wondering how this song would come across by the Goo Goo Dolls and I was happily surprised! They totally did it respectfully justice. Lyrics in video 👆

Song: Christmas Time Artist: Hanson This song has resonated with me so strongly this year! I'm just blown away by the power behind the lyrics, especially knowing how young Hanson was when it was written. I also knew I wanted to feature Hanson today since their member's Christmas concert livestream was yesterday but I just finished watching it today!! I was planning on watching it live but decided to watch Christmas movies with my parents because there are only 10 days until Christmas and I haven't watched ANYTHING! 😰 The count down is ON! One Christmas movie every day from now until December 25! The concert was OH SO WONDERFUL! 💓🎄💚 I loved every second! It was festive and inspiring and Hanson is just Hanson and they DON'T MISS! EVER! 😍 I just ADORE them! It has been the BEST year of HANSON for me!! 💓💚💙😭 From the fantastic month of May I had re-listening to EVERYTHING Hanson , the new EP being straight 🔥 top to bottom and my 2024 summer JAM , the FA...

Song: White Winter Hymnal Artist: Pentatonix I have a tradition of re-watching ALL of PTX's Christmas music videos throughout the holiday season. And thankfully, I've shared pretty much all of them here on my blog, so they're easy to find and access. Or so I thought. WRONG! I was SHOCKED and ASTOUNDED to discover that I have NEVER in my 10 years of musical blogging, shared this most ICONIC song/video from the legends themselves!! 🤯😱 That's changing this INSTANT! Enjoy one of the first songs that started my PTX Christmas music obsession so many years ago... I was following the [8x] I was following the pack All swallowed in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their throats To keep their little heads From fallin' in the snow And I turned 'round and there you go And, Michael, you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries In the summertime I was following the pack All swallowed in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their...

Song: Silent Night Artist:  Iam Tongi (feat. Rexburg Children's Choir) Another song I noticed on youtube that I'll give a first time listen/reaction too...I'm sorry. I just don't feel inspired anymore. And that is exactly why this is my final year of musical blogging. It's not the same, I just don't feel it. 😔💔 Thoughts: Well, it doesn't get better than that! This was beautiful! Beautiful vocals, simple arrangement. I needed that. The expressions on those cute kids faces were so sweet and pure. 💗 I want that feeling back. I want to sing from my heart and feel the peace and happiness of Christmas again. Another great find! 

Song:  Angels We Have Heard On High Artist: Claire and the Crosby's Giving this a first time listen!  Thoughts: Wow! She's grown a lot! What an adorable family band! 🥰 And all so talented. I enjoyed this a lot, I've never heard these lyrics before and I love the arrangement. Bravo Crosby family! 👏

Song: Gingerbread House Artist: Anson Seabra Today is "Gingerbread House Day" on my Every Day's A Holiday calendar. Unfortnatley this couldn't line up next week when I will actually be making a gingerbread house, but this song came to mind so wha-lah! Killed a bird with two stones; found a way to acknowledge today's "holiday" and figured out an easy song to share for the day! It's not my favorite song I've ever heard but it's on theme so it works! I fell for you like snow, on the trees On the night we walked alone, at seventeen And my cheeks were colored rose But it wasn't from the cold, it was the way you looked at me But feelings fade, and you eyes don't say "I love you" like the way they did before And the home we made, somehow became Just bits and broken pieces on the floor Cause we build a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour Built up to watch you fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground So sad it goes so...
