music monday.

In a book, in a box, in the closet

In a line, in a song I once heard.

In a moment on a front porch late one June

In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

So Leighton Meester sings this song, and so does Rascal Flatts. I think they are both great except I prefer Leighton Meester because of my deep love of Blair Waldorf.. and its easier to sing along to another girl then a guy.. Anyway. 

It's called 

Words I Couldn't Say.

I watched Country Strong for the millionth time this weekend. Okay, I've actually only seen it like four times. 

I'm going to go buy a cowboy hat now and its going to look great.

That show has some awesome songs and some awesome quotes. I've posted about this before I think but oh well. This one stood out to me this weekend.

Fall in love with as many things as possible.

That phrase just makes me love life a little bit more. I think I'm going to do just that. =)

moody music monday

Okay. I just woke up in a horribly grumpy mood today. I contemplated not getting out of bed. It happens okay? My bed was just cozy and my room was so dark. Anyway. I decided not to be depressed. I realized it was Monday and I love music monday. So, I decided to search through my itunes to find songs I forgot about. I found one. :) I actually found a lot. I may even post them for Tuesday Tunes or Whiny Wednesday or Thinking Thursday or Feel good Friday or Singing Saturday. We'll see. It's crazy how music can make me feel better. 

yes yes.

I was introduced to this song by my friend Desiree.

 I absolutely love it and I can't stop listening to it. 

it's monday blogworld. =)

I have so many songs I would like to choose for Music Monday today... but I have been able to narrow it down to one.

Love. Love. Love.

and so many more to come. 

mondays music and a little snape.

I stole this song from Chanel. It's most definitely a keeper.

Thanks Chanel! I just had to pass it along again.

Happy Music Monday blogworld!

aand this cracks me up for some reason.

MistletoeMusicMonday

A Day for the Music Monday Blogging Books.

I think this is most appropriate for today. It being Music Monday and Mistletoe Monday all in one day? What a celebration.

Mistletoe - Justin Bieber

Released Monday October 17, 2011

 Go buy it!

cannnootgetenoughcountrymusic.

Soo all I can seem to listen to these days is country music?..

It's like.

Country music makes you miss something or someone. 

Not even anyone in particular.

But just a feeling of missing something.

Call me crazy.

OKAY. So. 

An announcement...

I will officially be attending a concert on November 3rd...

LADY ANTEBELLUM

I'm so freaking excited.

I can't even think of a concert I'd rather attend right now.

And for a moment
We made the world stand still

the real music monday.

I'm afraid my blog is turning solely into music posts.

I accidentally found this gem today.

Love when that happens.

Music Monday a day early.

Okay. It isn't Monday, but I have been waiting three days to share this song and I can't wait another minute because it is THAT good.

I am in love with every single aspect of this song.

Lost and Found - Katie Herzig

I know you left me standing there 
Out of the calm of the coldest air 
I don't believe the words you said 
But I can't find the words I want 
Oh, I can't find the words I want 

If you were gone in another life 
I don't believe I would just survive 
I could feel you next to me 
An escape from the world I'm in 
Oh, I'm afraid of the world I'm in  
One day I will see Heaven's reach 
I'll find the one who left me sleeping 
Every war was another seed 
That could feed every soul in need 
Oh, I'm worn by the war in me 

Somebody found me here 
Somebody held my breath 
Somebody saved me from the world you left 
If you're gonna cry my tears 
If you're gonna hold my breath 
If you're gonna let me see the sun you set 
Oh, I am lost and found 
Oh, I am lost and found 

thank you grey's anatomy for providing me with the best songs for music monday.

Favorite.

I've got a plan. I've got an atlas in my hands.

I didn't forget about Music Monday.

I've been a bit of a failure at Music Monday haven't I?

OOooopps. I've been busy. You know. Studying. Sleeping. Swimming. Tanning. Studying. Studying. Oh.. and I may or may not have started Grey's Anatomy again from Season 1.. Just as a sidenote. But good news is Grey's has the best music ever so I will have some lovely reminders of some of the most fabulous of songs for Music Monday!

Let's start with... 

Chicago - Sufjan Stevens

Enjoyyy. =)

hello monday.

So I have failed at Music Monday two weeks in a row but here I ammmm! 

Country music has really been tuggin at my heartstrings lately. I suppose it always has done that.

 but I think it's something in the water here. 

It is just all I can listen to for the time being.

Sarah showed me this song and I have to say I am a fan. 

Oh, Tonight - Josh Abbott Band

Movie Music Monday?

The best thing about Monday is no longer the fact that I get to share a song for Music Monday. It is the fact that when I look through my blogfeed, I see so many other posts that include Music Monday. Sometimes I even see the little button I made on other blogs.

This is what I call a success. =)

My song for Music Monday is found on this movie trailer. Not only do I love this song, I am officially dying to see this movie.

Maybe the fact Ingrid Michaelson is singing sweet love songs in the background makes it all the more appealing to me.

I love Ingrid Michaelson the most. 

Well, her and Joshua Radin I suppose.

I'm not sure why exactly,

but the whole thing just gets to me.

Music Monday: Can't Help Falling In Love - Ingrid Michaelson

Movie Monday? - Like Crazy

it's monday.

This one time at work the country top 40 countdown was on the radio. We maybe listened to a few too many of the songs considering we were at work, but thats not important. The important thing is that I was reminded of so many country songs I love this summer. I love country music. I still listen to it all year, but for some reason it's all I listen to in the summer.

In behalf of Music Monday, I am telling everyone how much I have been loving this song this summer:

Long Hot Summer - Keith Urban

source.

It is fabulous. 

Summer is fabulous.

Country music is fabulous.

Keith Urban is fabulous.

It's Tuesday but let's pretend its Monday?

I failed .music.monday. But that's fine because I have a song worthy of posting now.

 The song itself isn't my favorite yet, but the lyrics are darling.

source.

Be My Honeypie - The Weepies

Dance with me darling, the night is falling

You never answer although all my life I'm calling

Be my honeypie, never say goodbye

If you don't love me I will die

Be my honeypie

You turn me on, keep me up 'til dawn

Come and get me, baby

because soon I will be gone

What good are the stars above

if you're not in love?

Let me make it right, stay with me tonight

You ought to let somebody hold you tight
