Whoa!

 What? Two posts in one week? It can't be true.. (It is, though) I just thought I would shake it up for a minute.

I have slacked so much on sharing my playlists with you guys, that I started feeling guilty. This is one of those posts. Music is in me, it's what drives me, and today it's time to share some of the tunes I've been loving lately.

So many albums came out this summer, that I totally forgot to share with you guys. Some were some great buys, some were okay buys. Let's start with a recent album purchase.

Meg Myers- Album- Sorry.

This is her debut album. She had released two previous albums on her website, but they were not a complete album. (I bought those too, just a little FYI.) Anyhow, the song Lemon Eyes, is hitting the radio stations across the country. Now, if you listen to the radio station, 96.5 The Buzz in Kansas City, you would have heard most of her songs before she became as popular as she is. She has a unique sound, her first song that became a huge hit was the song with lyrics that say, How do you want me? That song took people by storm. The album is pretty great. I think you have to be a fan of alternative music to know who she might be, but she is worth the listen.

Alright, who else do we have?

Churches- Second Album.

Now, this band doesn't spell their name that way, but it's the only way to spell it out.

This being their second album, I have been patiently waiting. ( I say patiently, but that's kind of a lie)
I had loved their first album, which had songs like The Mother we share on it, and I was hoping this album was just as great. It totally is! (That was my cool rocker voice. Haha)
The newest song they are playing is Leave a Trace. This song is pretty amazing too. I have loved the whole album. She has such a sweet innocence to her voice, a little like Ellie Goulding. I am a huge fan on theirs!

Let's see.. Like I said so much music..

Florence and the Machine- Album number three!

Man, this chick just makes my heart happy. Her voice, her lyrics, just carry you away at times.
Now, she is pretty much a hippie chick living in the wrong era, but does that really matter when you can sing like that? Nah.
My favorite song from the latest album is What kind of Man. She pushes the envelope with this song. It has a great beat, and the words make me happy. She's kind of amazing. (I am a huge fan if you can't tell.)

I have so many bands that I could go on for like ever.. But today we will let this be it. As usual, if you like the music and check them out, please make sure you purchase the album. They work hard to make you happy.

Okay, folks, that's all I have for this blog post today, and just like every post, I live you with my words of wisdom. (Haha, yea, I laughed too.)

Peace, Love, and All that Jazz- Take care of you- Dee King

Music Monday...

 On this day, today, Monday, I have finally announced the first song from the Charming Series, Charmed Destiny. I heard this song a while back, in fact before I even started writing the second book. I fell in love with this song.. I would sing it all by myself and loud as hell. I felt a raw emotion with this song. I have no idea why. It just touched a part of me that I hadn't felt in a while. His words sounded like something I would say.. In fact as I write this I have the song on repeat. Haha. Yes, I am that kind of nerd.

I talk a lot about music and my books, but for me they go hand in hand. When I write I listen, I really listen to the words. My love for music goes back to when I was a small child singing on a stage. I couldn't live without music. All kinds of music. It makes you feel so many emotions. A certain song can come on, and all of a sudden your back in a memory you may have forgotten. Or you can hear a song, and tears fall down your face, and you don't know why.. Music just moves your soul. In this song, I am talking about today.. After he sings the chorus, there is a part where there is just an upbeat tempo that I can't get out of my head. I am not sure who Heidi is, but she sounds like so many other ladies I know. The guy in the story if the song, has had his heart broken, and he tries to warn her.. She doesn't take his advice. He tells a story in the song. These are some of my favorite types of songs.

I don't know the singer (or band) at all, but if any chance he ever reads this, I would want him to know that in one song you made a fan for life. This song was never released on radio as far as I know. I have the album, and when I heard this song.. It was the one. I would be in my car, and play on repeat.. Singing at the top of my lungs to Heidi. I didn't even care who saw me. I am pretty sure I still don't.

When I was starting to think of how the second book in the Charming Series was going to go, I started searching for music first. This song was it.. I know I am making a big deal over one song, but this song spoke to me.. I also felt it was worth other people hearing for these emotions that he speaks of, many have gone through.

Thank you, Jeremy. You gave me a song when I needed it. You helped heal me at a time I didn't know I needed to be healed... You have given me a song that I could use as an inspiration...
