Songs With Positive Energy #MusicMonday

Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start. Mine is. I had a great relaxing weekend with the family. We went to the museum, the movies, and did some shopping. I also squeezed in some time for homework, and got a decent grade on my Metereology quiz, so all is good.

I just want to keep this positive energy going with some great positive tunes. I hope you find something to inspire you to be You, because there is nobody better! Have a great week full of fabulous moments!

First up is Kacey Musgraves with Follow Your Arrow. I got to see her perform earlier this year, and she was just as good Live. This song comes with a great message reminding us all to just do what makes us happy.



You never know how you can change the world. Just be brave and be you.
Brave by Sara Bareillas


I adore this song! It is such a great reminder to stop worrying about what everybody else thinks. This song speaks to me so much! Here is Secrets by Mary Lambert.

Stadium Song Classics #MusicMonday

Happy Music Monday! Fall is here and so is football season! Let's celebrate with some stadium songs and get our week off to a rockin' good start! These are the songs that get us moving, and get the stadium jumping along. Those stadium games would just not feel the same without them. Get on your feet and let's move!



I have to admit that even though you will hear this at football games, I put it on here because it's also the start of hockey season, and this one is always played at the Lightning games.


Oh, you're unbelievable!






What stadium list would be complete without this gem?! My favorite band, The Rolling Stones with Start Me Up!



I hope you have a musically awesome week!

Train's Newest Album, "Bulletproof Picasso", May Just Be Their Coolest

Train fans will be happy to know that their newest album, Bulletproof Picasso was released today. This is the 7th album from the San Francisco based Grammy winning band, and it does not disappoint.

Bulletproof Picasso has a great collection of songs from the catchy up beat track 1 song,  "Cadillac Cadillac" to the poignant final track, "Don't Grow Up So Fast" a plea to youth to stay young as long as possible, "you don't want to know what I know, yet. Don't grow up too fast."


The first single from the album is "Angel in Blue Jeans". The video for this was shot in the desert with the always awesome, and super cool, Danny Trejo who you might recognize from his many film roles. I think the video is a perfect representation of this song's gritty western rock feel.


I would expect to see a lot of hit singles come from this album because not only do the songs have great lyrics and catchy melodies, but more importantly, they connect with the human emotion. One of my favorite songs on Bulletproof Picasso is "I'm Drinking Tonight". It cries out for release from the pain of heartbreak with the lyric "the only thing stronger than you is whiskey...I hope the poison's the cure." It is passionate songs like this that make this a really cool album from Train.

Bulletproof Picasso is available now on iTunes and Amazon

I participated in the Train Bulletproof Picasso album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided a free album to review but all opinions are my own.

Music Monday, A Song to Remind Us That Curves Are Beautiful!

Happy Music Monday!

Are you ready for some new music?!

I have to thank my hubby for introducing me to this song. It has a catchy tune which is sure to get stuck in your head. It's been running around in my head for days now. The thing is it is a fun song, but most importantly, it has a great message! Girls come in all shapes and sizes, and we need to realize that it is okay to have curves. I'm hoping that having this song on the charts will help teen girls get some much needed self love. Let's stop photo shopping women to look a certain way, and realize that we're all perfect the way we are.

Here's Meghan Trainor with All About That Bass



Have a fabulous week!
