March only had 6 songs. It was a weird month. One where I finished the first draft of my novel The Sound of Madness (yay!) and couldn’t find the energy or motivation to start the second draft (boo!). A month that brought the beginning of Spring with snow and as it comes to an end, I am happy to see March end. I’m over snow. I’m over gray skies … Continue reading Songs of My Life: March 2014
Ian Watkins, the lead singer of Lostprophets, a band I really dig was sentenced to 35 years for some seriously heinous crimes, but as much as I am shocked and disgusted by his actions, I cannot and will not fault the rest of the band for his crimes. What Ian did, he did as an individual and not as a band. Personally, I will still listen … Continue reading Why I Will Still Listen to Lostprophets
Whew, August…you were a doozie in music and I loved every single song you presented me. A lot of messages and signs received from the Universe and a lot of reminders to have fun. You also reminded me that it’s wonderful being me. Reminder: click on song title to see/hear video if no Soundcloud link or listen on Spotify to some of the songs (player … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2013

Speechless by Morning Parade I was very fortunate to see this band not once but twice in one day. Acoustic & plugged in. Not only are they one of the nicest bands you will ever meet, they are superb live and funny. Besides any band that can put tsunami in song is okay by me. Everything I Once Had by The Honorary Title When this … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2012
This is my favorite song off their current CD “Weapons,” and in my opinion this band should be bigger than they are in the US. Such a great video. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vApHVSwL2ug] Continue reading Lostprophets “Jesus Walks” Video
August was a month of living and having reminders on how to live my life. It was a blessed month and I am grateful it came to me in such a spiritual and receiving way. Where We Belong by Lostprophets I just love the lyrics: “I’ll make it through each day singing death or glory. Lord won’t answer me, I won’t let it bring me … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2012
Friday, I travelled to Wilmington, NC to see Donavon Frankenreiter. He put on a wonderful performance and I was so glad I FINALLY got to see him. It completed my list of seeing all ten of my favorite bands. Which leads to this post…this topic has come out several times this week so I thought, I’d write a post about it. My favorite 10 bands … Continue reading My Favorite Artists
Culture Bleeding by Xavier Rudd I find this song very spiritual. I don’t know if it’s the way Xavier uses the didgeridoo and drums but there is something that connects me to this song. It moves me. Let it Go by The Constellations This song just tells you what you need to do to…let it go. Sometimes you just go to let it … Continue reading Songs of My Life: July 2012
I love when I hit the “genius” icon on my iPod. I never know what songs it will throw together on the playlist and I never know what gems it will throw at me. Today, I hit the “genius” for “Stare into the Sun” by Thrice. I have always loved the lyrics to that song and when “genius” gave me “Wake Up (Make a Move)” … Continue reading Wake Up (Make a Move)
