Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify THE CHOSEN 3: LIGHT (energy): n/a LOVE (vibration): n/a MAGIC (frequency): n/a I couldn’t decide on a Chosen 3 this month that spoke Light, Love, and Magic to me. Of all the months, Light, Love, and Magic was definitely needed. I started July feeling rather hopeless. Found an undercurrent of anger and hostility simmering within me and then found peace. The US … Continue reading Songs of My Life: July 2020
I can’t say the adage of April showers bring May flowers really works in Australia as it autumn and not spring. But April did bring a self imposed “Sober April”, I did and still am doing with a friend. We labeled this month, Sore and Sober as she started getting her booty kicked by the same trainer I do. So maybe April sore and sober … Continue reading Songs of My Life: April 2019
November saw me leveling up another year. I’m at level 43, but none the wiser. Various songs spoke to me and some just reminded me of the past. Listen on AppleMusic Listen on Spotify “The Breeze” by The Constellations This was the first song I heard in November. It kind of set the feel good mood of November. Lyrically reminded me of home, family and … Continue reading Songs of My Life: November 2018
I give you Volume 2. Narrowing this down to 20 was so freaking hard. So many songs!! The last 20 years have been filled with gems that’s for sure. I also realized I am quite influenced by songs with “train” in the title. There was two in Volume 1, one here. Again, these songs are a part of who I am and have influenced me for … Continue reading The Music History of Shelia: Volume 2 (1996-2016)
One month down eleven more to go. Not that I’m rushing 2017 through. So far so good. Sitting down and listening to all the songs again, I feel that the theme or message of January was about loving, being there, standing up for what you believe in and never giving up. That’s what I took away from all the songs. It’s not like the Universe … Continue reading Songs of My Life: January 2017
Mentally, I was all over the goddamn place for May. Most of it was in a good headspace but damn the days where it was a bad headspace. I’m good at recognizing patterns my brain takes and signs of where it’s going to fuck with me so I can luckily do a preemptive strike on most of those bad headspace days but the days I couldn’t stop it from happening seemed like what the fuck moments times a billion. I survive though. Mostly through sheer will and my sidekick, music. Some of those bad headspace days, you just crawl into your bed, pull the blankets over your head and go to bed the moment your day ends and some days you share those bad headspace days with someone and their simple words of understanding help more than they know. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: May 2016”
June might have been the longest month ever. From beginning to the end, it felt like it was never going to end. It was like watching the days slowly tick by like the hour hand on a clock. June beat me up a little and I’m glad it’s coming to an end. The songs for this month were songs for my soul and spirit to not give up, to not quit the fight, to not give up my dreams. The songs were anthems on how to live and to be. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: June 2015”
I’ve always been a big fan of the music by Lostprophets and this song has been one of the most played in the month of June.
There’s nothing better than singing as loud as you can “…Screaming, Andy, you’re a Goonie. Don’t you wake me up, I don’t want this dream to end…Don’t wanna wait or leave it up to fate…But believe me, I know it will always be moving…” Continue reading “Andy, You Goonie”
Dear January, You had to know rhyme nor reason, but you were beautiful, amazing, heartbreaking, eye-opening, and kicked off 2015 with a bang. The Universe showed me beauty, heartbreaking sadness, moments of strength, and that if you believe and talk it out, and are there for someone when they need it the most, it wraps everyone in a hug that is needed. January was indeed … Continue reading Songs of MY Life: January 2015
