November 11th...

Today, in America, we give honor to our veterans who have fought for our country. I didn't want to go without saying something in honor of them today. I truly believe that these men and women are the true hero's. When you sign on the dotted line you sign just more than a contract to say yes I will do this job, you sign it knowing that you may have to put your life on the line for others. That's something I find quite beautiful in a world so full of hate at times. People never seem to understand what they go through, what their families go through, it's a lot more than then just bringing home a paycheck. So, today I say thank you for your serving your country. If you have served for my country, your country, I thank you too. You are not forgotten!


On a very different note, today is also PLAYLIST Wednesday.. I am in edits like I said last time, and as I edit, I see where I need to add music for certain parts. I promised to bring you music, and let the music tell the story, and I am trying my best to keep my promise. For today.. We have something a little different, but not really. I needed a love song. (I know.. I know.. yuck, love.. HAHA!) Either way, this book is somewhat a love story still, so I needed a song for the beginning of the book too. I am still searching for a song to sum up the Charmed Destiny, but that won't be released till the very end of all the music I have chosen. (That's my top secret one..) Okay, for today I am going to share another video. Hope you listen to the words, and the music moves you.


I have another secret I am going to share with you at one point this week or the next, stay tuned!

Thanks for reading my random thoughts today. Hug a veteran if you get the chance.
Peace, Love and All that Jazz- Dee King

Without further ado, I give you Ellie Goulding....

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

Y'all know what day it is!!

Hey, Hey, Hey!! It's Playlist Wednesday! I told you guys that in June some of my favorite bands were releasing new albums.. and oh boy did they!

Let's just jump right in.. I chose the first album because they are one of my all time favorite bands.
MUSE! They really "brought it" on the album Drones. The guitar riffs alone.. one word.. WOW!
Really listen to the music, it's truly a talent. Of course, Muse has been around for twenty years, so they are doing something right!
Not everyone is going to be a fan, but then again, I don't follow the norm. (Normal is boring from what I have heard.)

I listened to the entire album, then did it again.. Searching for a song. Searching for one new favorite song. This was a task in itself. I found one that spoke to me. All of the songs are amazing, but this one just had that.. drive! The drive to make me feel something. The words are powerful, but also political. The entire album seems to be political though. Hence, the name of the album, Drones.

You can find their music in any store almost.. Itunes is offering their music as well. Spotify is covering this new album too. Youtube even has a video.. Who would have known? (What isn't on youtube these days?)

So, without further ado, I give you one of my favorite songs from the album, and a song I will be using. Hope you enjoy! -Dee-
