Music Monday: Wake Me Up (Acoustic Version) by Aloe Blacc
Let me tell a little secret: It's my birthday this week. It sounds like an attempt for adulation, but it's the truth. I will wake up one year older and after my last Music Monday post, I wanted an antidote to the sentiments from the previous week. The post originally had a lyric video for Avicii's … Continue reading Music Monday: Wake Me Up (Acoustic Version) by Aloe Blacc
Music Monday: Don’t Give Up by Peter Gabriel Featuring Kate Bush
Whenever I feel sad or discouraged, I put his song on my headphones.

Music Monday: It’s Raining Men by The Weather Girls
I have a mid-life crisis every Sunday around the time I watch Game of Thrones. Kit Harrington has an adorable mop of dark curls, the body of an Adonis, and a sixteen-year age difference. In my mind, I dump the more age-appropriate Richard Armitage for someone not only young but has a bigger sword. (Mind out … Continue reading Music Monday: It’s Raining Men by The Weather Girls

Music Monday: Cry Love By John Hiatt
https://youtu.be/el3IygVnIqM Some Music Mondays I put in the video, some lyrics, and leave things as is. Other times the song reminds me of something or launches a reflection. Today's selection has a bit of both. A moment of steel A dry-eyed house Did he say goodbye to you Or did you kick him out I … Continue reading Music Monday: Cry Love By John Hiatt
