Read the words

I love music, songs, some of them hold such wonderful meanings and messages. I've been a bit down and perplexed by others and on my way to work this morning I turned on my Ipod and heard this song. The words spoke volumes to me and maybe I won't have to unfriend some people on Facebook.


"Close Your Eyes"

Everybody's on the same page
No new chapters
We'll never change

Everybody wants to be cool, yes they do...
And I'm just like them
But I won't be no fool

I guess I could waste all my time and my money, just trying to look right
But it doesn't change who I am in my heart if I look like a dime

So I want you to close your eyes
Sing to the world tonight
And show them what's beautiful
I don't care what they think
No, I'm not listening
'Cause I know I'm beautiful
So close your eyes

(Sh-sh-show them what's beautiful sh-sh-show them what's beautiful)
Come and show them... Uh... Hey...
(Sh-sh-show them what's beautiful
Sh-sh-show them what's beautiful)

Everybody's born to be different
That's the one thing that makes us the same
So don't you let their words try to change you
Don't let them make you, into something you ain't... No!

So I want you to close your eyes
Sing to the world tonight
And show them what's beautiful
I don't care what they think
No, I'm not listening
'Cause I know I'm beautiful
So close your eyes

(Sh-sh-show them what's beautiful)

Show the world the you inside
Raise your voice and close your eyes
'Cause you're beautiful...
Come on and show the world the you inside
Raise your voice and close your eyes
'Cause you're beautiful...

So I want you to close your eyes
Sing to the world tonight
And show them what's beautiful
I don't care what they think
No, I'm not listening
'Cause I know I'm beautiful
So close your eyes

oops

I love acapella singing groups; my current favorite is Straight No Chaser. I wasn’t in the best of moods when I got home, just another frustrating day. First I watched the season premiere of Smash, yes music, but that wasn’t enough because the next episode is 2 weeks away which makes no sense since they just had the season premiere, sounds like another ranting blog coming, but I digress, I needed another pick me up and went to YouTube with the intent of finding a video for SNC and the first thing that popped up was a SNC thank you message from them to their fans in the UK…digressing again, this video combines some of my favorite things, TV theme songs and SNC!

it's getting closer!!

Love when an old favorite is redone by a great rocker!!

Monday, December 19th

I was scrolling through my IPOD Christmas playlist and found this song, I never paid attention to it before, it was a free download....lol

one week from today!!

For some reason I've not been with it this weekend. I don't think it's because of the holiday season I think it's just the impending end of the year and the anticipation of someone asking me what my New Years Resolutions are, ick....I remembered this song, yeah, point made and attitude has been adjusted.

9 days til the big day!

It's always better to give than receive...I love love love this song, I wish there was an official video but this will have to do besides it's the music that counts!!

Yike, 10 days!!

Even though the 12 Days of Christmas do not begin until Christmas day this song is the exception to the rule and I need a good laugh today!!

12 days and counting down

Realizing the reason for the season; there are so many wonderful Christmas hymns to remind us; I've always loved this song...Susan Boyle has a beautiful voice.

Monday, December 12th

Love Rockapella!!

yes, i know

last night I was beat, I fell asleep at 9:15pm Sunday and I'm still tired at 6:50pm Monday! I'll try and find a great song to make up for my snoring on the blogging job!

15 days until the big day!

A dear friend introduced me to this group last year, I love groups that sing A Cappella!

I may have to post their version of the 12 days of Christmas too!!

December 9, 2011

It would not be Christmas without hearing this song at least once!

Day 8!!

I do realize the reason for the season but there has to be time to laugh and enjoy too, the first time I heard this song I laughed so hard, now it just wants to make me dance!!

December 7th

On a somber day of remembrance I thought of one of my favorite Christmas hymns.

my Christmas song for December 6th

I got this record on Christmas, yes, a 45, and I played it so much I swear there's got to be grooves in it!! But who doesn't love Snoopy!! It doesn't hurt that years later I found out that a co-worker was a member of the Royal Guardsmen! Good memories!

Day 5 of My Christmas Music Blogging!

I remember learning this in choir, it's always been one of my favorite traditional Christmas songs, I love Bing and Bowie's voices together!

4th of December and another song!

There are some Christmas songs that I've grown tired of though the years but I was pleasantly surprised by this version of Santa Baby. I shouldn't have been, Kellie Pickler has an amazing voice.

December 3, 2011

I love Lady A and this version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Makes me wish it was a bit cold outside!!

December 2, next song

This is one of my all time favorites that not many people know...it was especially meaningful when we moved from New York to Florida...yes, I was worried...

On the first day of December!!

Yes, I'm challenging myself again....yeah, I know, a book a Sunday fell to the wayside but I did blog about a book for more than half the year!!

This is more fun, a Christmas song everyday until the big day!!

I love this song and this version is my favorite, who doesn't love Rascal Flatts!!?? I love the sentiment; being home for Christmas and all it means...I can't imagine spending Christmas anywhere else. Besides, home is where the heart is!
