Music

I listen to a WIDE variety of music, from the Carpenters to Five Finger Death Punch, from safe for children and work to not safe for anyone else to hear! What I listen to depends on how I'm feeling and what I need in that moment. Sometimes it's Three...

This is a good one when I'm feeling defeated. It always makes me smile and pumps me up!

I mean, come on. This is a classic for a reason. Every day we wake up, we can celebrate and be grateful!

I find myself singing this when I'm struggling. “I just want to celebrate another day of living.” Sometimes that's all we can do. But this always makes me happy.

Okay, so this is a brand new song and it's very silly. But he talks about depression and how it's hard to deal and be happy. And it's Rob Thomas, so . . . Yeah!

This is amazing! As a teen I loved Judas Priest. The combo of Rob Halford and Five Finger Death Punch thrills me! And the lyrics. I won't be broken, I won't be tortured, I won't be beaten down. I have the answer, I can take the pressure, I will turn ...

Love this. Give me something to believe in. It probably means something different than what it makes me feel, lol, but I still like it. It has a great beat and catchy tune. I'm a little freaked out by the line, It's almost like a tongue on the back o...

I don't know why, but this one makes me happy, too. There are a lot of f-bombs, but it's too true. The YouTube video is hilarious, too!

Love David Draiman from Disturbed and his part in this song cracks me up. They try to own us and control us so we don't get in the way, but we get in the way. Haha! Go David!

Things that make me go, "What???"

Sometimes I'm loving a tune but then I hear some lyrics and they stop me in my tracks. What did they just say? LOL

Lol. This one had me at the first line: Like sticks and stones and your words hurt me. I was really into the song, even though it's sad, but I couldn't understand the second line. I thought it might be something about a pretty face. I finally looked ... NOT what I was expecting! I still love the tune and like the song, though.

I really like the songs that have a nursery rhyme/fairy tale element. This one took me by surprise with it's harshness. The tune is catchy and I didn't realize at first what they were saying in the chorus. It has a wolf in sheep's clothing, which rem...
