Carly Simon discography contains songs people will sing hum quietly or sing at the top of their lung years after charting. She's the woman behind 'You're So Vain,' writing songs about ex-lovers before Taylor Swift turned that subject into an album concept. She's not a stranger to movie soundtracks starting with 'Nobody Does It Better,' … Continue reading #MusicMonday: Let The River Run by Carly Simon

#MusicMonday: When I Fall In Love By Nat King Cole
I got a lot of advice as a single woman. One woman said it's better to be single than in a loveless relationship (she was going through a divorce at the time); Another said God needed to make me more patient and keep praying for that right person; More than one person said if you … Continue reading #MusicMonday: When I Fall In Love By Nat King Cole
Music Monday: Fight Song by Rachel Platten
In today's episode of the upside down, I found myself saying words of encouragement to a Delta Airlines customer service rep who can't believe her president has done in the space of a week.

Music Monday: Final Song by MØ
I said good-bye to 2016 with V, her parent's dog, nibbles, and cans of Sumol, a Portuguese soda. After a post bordering on the morose on the 31st, I figured the Music Monday selection needed some pep. Enter MØ, a singer out of Denmark, found courtesy of a Spotify playlist with happy songs. The song can compliment … Continue reading Music Monday: Final Song by MØ
Music Monday: RIP George Michael
My nephew announced the news, eyes still glued to his phone, while I had a partially dried dish in my hands. "Check two more sources, The Telegraph or The Guardian," I instructed. Those two newspapers had authority, at least I stayed in denial for a little while longer. I pulled out my own phone, opening … Continue reading Music Monday: RIP George Michael
Music Monday: Happy Christmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon
It's one thing to read about someone's life and death, it's another to stand near the spot where they both lived both died. Picture this, it's February and half the school age population of New York City flocked to the American Museum of Natural History. Add to this mix one woman from a mid-sized … Continue reading Music Monday: Happy Christmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon
