Last year, I listened to this song on repeat. To this day, I still haven't seen The Greatest Showman and the way they portray PT Barnum; Hugh Jackman can't sing and dance his way around them. But this song, this song sung by Keala Settle...holy cow. https://youtu.be/wEJd2RyGm8Q For Keala Settle, even with Broadway experience, she … Continue reading Music Monday: This Is Me by Keala Settle

Music Monday: Grade 9 by The Barenaked Ladies
In honour of their induction into the Hall of Fame during the Junos, one of my favourite tracks from The Barenaked Ladies. These guys are around my age and when they sing 'this is me in grade 9,' I nod and remember.

Music Monday: The Two Faces of January 1st
Spotify began as a free account for me, something I played on my computer before taking the plunge into a subscription.

Music Monday: Come On Get Happy by The Partridge Family
"So much wasted time." I read the Twitter moment quoting David Cassidy's final words, shared by his daughter Katie (aka Black Canary on Arrow.)

I watched the reruns like everyone … Continue reading Music Monday: Come On Get Happy by The Partridge Family

Music Monday: OK By Robin Schultz Featuring James Blunt
Endings are autumn's dominant metaphor from the leaves falling from trees to the sun going down earlier and earlier. We go back to school, at least some of us, we harvest our gardens, put away the summer pots, and some choose that moment to end things in life. When I attended mass, the first reading … Continue reading Music Monday: OK By Robin Schultz Featuring James Blunt
