Music for motivation, memories and mischief
Music is a powerful force in our lives and can change our emotions in an instant. It's one of my go-to's when I need upliftment, justification for feeling a certain way, changing the narrative or whatever it may be at the time.
My music collection is ever-growing and ever-changing too, just like you and I are as individuals. Come sit beside my Jukebox while I play you some tracks and I'll tell you a bit about myself along the way...
Anyone that reads my posts may know that I've been dealing with some things that have thrown me off kilter somewhat and music has helped tremendously in keeping me productive while moving through this terrain. I came across this song the other day while I was annoyed with myself and found it weirdly therapeutic. Sometimes we just want to disappear for a while and be invisible, step away from all the chaos and troubles to catch our breath.
I know y'all have felt like this at some point. Tell me I'm wrong?!
Apparently she has a lot of haters. Immaterial as to why, no denying she has an excellent voice and an impressive stage presence. She's a little bit edgy and conveys emotion that grips you, gets you nodding, tapping your foot and singing along.
I've just realised this is the second singer with blue hair I've posted. Must have been trendy.
Halestorm is a recent addition and I just love the angst and power that she puts into her music. It's primal. This track's a bit heavier than some of her other other stuff, but that bass line is sick.
This song takes me back to my teenage years when life was a lot simpler yet seemed much more complicated at the time. I was a well behaved rebel in school. Quite the oxymoron. Especially the moron part. The only one in my group of friends who knew what Rock 'n Roll was. They were listening to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houstan (I will always love youuuuuuuuuuuooooooooo - aaaaaahhhhhhhyyyyeeeeeee {breath} will always love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu) Good luck getting that out of your head now 🤣...They had no idea who legends like the Rolling Stones were. I was called a freak by many and I'm fine with it.
Then of course, there's Dorothy. Hmmm hmm hmmm this woman is a fucking legend. She's sexy, her voice is hypnotic and the best part? She has a cute sense of humour and knows the difference between THERE, THEIR and THEY'RE. While you listen to this song, you need to watch this video and read the subtext so you understand what's going on - it's hilariously good. This song rocks, but I like almost all of her stuff.
Fuuuuuuuck... and I found this now. Because I don't check mentions because most people use them for absolutely no good reason 😒
This is how it should be done. And, honestly, you've popped in and out of my thoughts since our convo too. I wanted to share an incredible cover with you!
Xbox seems to have died suddenly as well and stressed young person so brb
And thank you! I read the full post and can't quite wait to hear the tune(s)!
But kids come first. Brb ❤️💯
Oof!
I just fell in love all over the place. ❤️💥
I'm yours forever. You're a genius.
This is the best gift and dedication I've ever received. !!!
(Except the hand made liddle Buddha from my boy and the beautiful Bee necklace from my daughter. So top three. Truth.)
Thank you.
I'd send you all my money but I'm fuck broke amd my daughter's birthday is next month.
So I'll send you my love instead and come and find you on #ttt always.
These women tho. Whew! 🔥😅 flutters
And you
Shit dude, did I not reply? Sorry man. It makes me happy that you enjoyed this post so much. I'm all over the show today.
Your daughter's birthday next month? That's awesome. You doing something nice for a party?
Oi Vey. Now I have to listen to Simple Minds, I actually heard a great cover about a month ago when I went to see a local band. Such a great song. The movie brings back all sorts of emotions. I haven't seen Emilio Estevez that young in like - centuries 🤣
Admit it, you also had a crush on John didn't you? Yeah, you can't hide from me. I see you 😄
Hah!
You mean, Judd?
Yep. You know me so well 😏😉
She's in town and I still can't pin her down... we shall see.
I'm all over the music today. Laptop died so can't work much. What a pity (hehe)
Sorry for you. On you go then. I'll save the good tunes for ya... 💃👣♥️
Ah shtop, you most def were not the freak, you were the one with good taste in music!!
I loved who you wove (is that even a word, meh, it is now!) the three songs into the narrative, great work and three strong female vocalists that I really liked. Funny you mention the blue hair, as I have seen a good few female performers shared here recently with blue hair and I love it, if I was younger and singler (again not a word! haha) I would def be flirting with the blue haired girls!
Thanks @ablaze it was such good fun picking good songs for TTT. I know now that I had good taste in music, but back then, I thought I was weird being the odd one out.
Lol, yes wove is a word. The blue hair synchronicity was so strange. Don't worry, you and me both - I'd probably be flirting with the blue haired chicks too (and I'm straight 🤣).
In hindsight you can see that you weren't a sheep following the crowd, but had your own taste, likely influenced by a parent or sibling with good musical taste.. that's usually how it goes anyway..
Ha ha this made me laugh!!
