Tuesday Tunes

This week's song is a catchy little old song that reminds me of love. It also reminds me of How I Met Your Mother. But this song could be applied to many of the people I love and has a good beat tht I can clean to. Sing it with me...

The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)

And if Netflix hasn't taken HIMYM off the life-up then I'd watch an episode (it was featured in several episodes). Because when you love someone, anyone, wouldn't you walk some miles? 

For my daughters, my husband. 

Tuesday Tunes - Christmas Edition

Well it's December so that means it is time to bust out the holiday jingles (if you haven't done so yet). This week of my little musical segment I'm focusing on my favorite Christmas songs. Although, I am honestly still in a 90's R&B kick (or something with TLC, Boys 2 Men, etc). Which makes litte sense to me because I've a rock godess with heavy mental & alternative tendencies but I do grow up around then. Perhaps when I heard those songs my heart was still innocent & dreaming of a fairy tale... then life occured & bring on the Zombie muhahaha. But anyways, here is my (quickly put together) grateful 8.

8.Dean Martin - Let it Snow

7. The Drifters - White Christmas

6.Amasic - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

5. Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song 

4. Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack

3. You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch

2. My Chemical Romance - All I want for Christmas is You

1. Judy Garland - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

While I love most any Christmas song, the last one has been my favorite a long time. It makes me reflect and miss my grandma. But always a message dear to my heart keep going, move forward, it will be OK, we will meet again. 

Merry Christmas

Music Motivation

What a dull world it would be without music! I love to sing (in the privacy of my own house) played the clarinet for a year, and own a piano. I love music. It soothes my soul, it gets me moving, it inspires me, it comforts me. Music is therapeutic. So for this episode (yes, I'm calling this post an episode because when I write it is an extension of my voice, sure maybe no one is listening & I'm talking to myself but so be it) my motivational music is ....

Destiny's Child - Bills, Bills, Bills

I used this song (& similar songs) during my study session today. And yes I might have been seat dancing (is that what you call the movements that take over your body when you are seated?). Perhaps the title correlates with my task at hand (studying) because I got to get the grades to pay those bills (student loans?). LOL 

Check out the link, it's to Pandora if you have the app or use the website. I was listening to it on the TLC radio channel.
