Hiya, friends! Now, the past week has been a whirlwind that hasn’t allowed for much time of creativity or for writing. But I’ve done a lot of listening to music (as per usual). If we’re friend on Facebook, then you know I share a new song almost every day because I’m ridiculous? a lover of music? silly? an over-sharer?
But anyway, I think music is a magical way to really just awake your muse when you’re struggling to write or create or anything. If I don’t turn on music, I’ll find myself kind of tunelessly humming to myself. It’s annoying. So music it is.
Are you willing to work hard for what you want in life? It’s unlikely that anyone will just hand your dreams to you. Take it away, Avicii!
And your opinion may drop of me, but I like Rihanna. I try to explain it to people. Her singing style is raw and wailing. Sometimes it’s just right for me (actually, more often than not, it’s perfect). This is my newest favorite from the movie Home.
“Rather Be” by Clean Bandit is still a favorite of mine. It’s twined with memories, which makes the song even more special to me.
And if you’re looking for something soothing to be listened to as you lay in a pool of sunshine or read a delicious book, this is the song for you. It’s beautiful, even if it’s sad. But I do love sad music.
Sia has been a favorite artist of mine for the past 8 years or so, and I love her more for writing “Big Girls Cry” because what shocking honesty.
“Troubled Souls”…I just love this song and I wish youtube had a better version of it so you could truly appreciate the sound and lyrics. But apparently, I’m sharing a playlist with you right now…

And now for another singer who may not be in your repertoire yet! I often choose music because of the sound of the music, but occasionally, the lyrics catch me, too. In this case, it’s the sound that captures me.
But now, we need to finish off with something upbeat amazing. And this is it, in my opinion, at least today. And I just love that there is a skeleton unitard going on.
