Fire In Your Heart – Bluskay

It’s been a while since I shared music around here. And after another one of those days no one needs [sad/worried/unmotivated], how about some upbeat tunes to get those brighter spirits up and running again?

Not Even In Theory

Daily writing prompt
What would your life be like without music?

The thought of day-to-day life without music is unpleasant, a bit scary actually. From toddler age onward, music has always been an important part of me. Whether I listen to my favorite songs or sing them myself, music is a constant companion, more or less every day. Not only can my favorite tunes enhance my happiness, they are also a great comfort during sad or overwhelming periods, they take me on a stroll down memory lane, or calm my mind when life gets complicated upon occasion. Going through all the ups and downs without music will hopefully remain a theoretical scenario. While life without my favorite songs would be manageable, of course, the number of my “down days” would likely increase significantly. And that is something I can most definitely do without. In short, life without music, let’s not go there, not even in theory.

Going Home – Tyler Joe Miller

I haven’t been listening to my favorite songs lately. Usually that’s a sign, that another round of “down days” is on its way. Not so this time, I’m happy to say. Because today I found a new-to-me song. It’s called “Going Home” by Tyler Joe Miller. And yep, it’s a country tune, go figure ๐Ÿ˜‰
I heard it once, not even all the way to its end, and I was hooked. There’s something about country music that just makes me happy. My life in America may be over, but my heart will always beat for country music. And no one can take that away from me. Okay, enough with the drama, let’s just listen and enjoy…

I don’t know about you, but I could listen to this song on repeat until the wee hours of the morning, and am forever grateful for the country music genre ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ’—
Thanks for continuously visiting my blog, for liking what I write about and for following. You are more appreciated, than I could find the words to tell you. Thanks for being a part of my blogging journey, bless your kind and caring hearts! Have a good night ๐ŸŒ™

Driving Force

Daily writing prompt
What motivates you?

What motivates me? Love, very simply.
The powerful force, that keeps me going is the abundance of love I have for animals, my own in particular. And then, it’s the love for a select few people, who truly have importance and meaning in my life. Lastly, I want to include the love for something, that is relevant to my everyday happiness, namely music. Without love in my heart I’m lost, there’s no interest and motivation to start something, or to keep it going.

Tell Me Why – Supermode

Remember this song from 1984? The remix sounds terrific. Anyway, I still like this song as much today as I did back then, in both versions. Have a good night and an enjoyable, relaxing Sunday!!

Settling Down – Miranda Lambert

For tonight’s musical snack, I’m sharing my favorite song by Miranda Lambert. I absolutely luv, luv, luv this song – and video – for more than just one reason. I hope, you will enjoy it as well…

Miranda Lambert is one of my true favorite country singers. Not only does she have a lovely voice and writes beautiful songs that resonate with me, she also loves animals and founded her own none profit organization, called MuttNation to help promote and educate people about shelter animals. What’s not to love?? Have a good night ๐ŸŒ™โœจ
