#MusicMonday - Tones And I

#MusicMonday is dedicated to Tones And I, featuring the debut album Welcome to the Madhouse. My favorite song so far is "Fly Away" because it is upbeat, fun, intriguing, powerful, and will take you on a ride. Put it on repeat, turn it up, and let it go for a few rounds, you'll find something new you like each time you listen.

I had a dream that someday

I would just fly, fly away

And I always knew I couldn't stay

So I had a dream that I'd just fly away

I've been on my own for a minute

Is it only me out here

Searching for the place to begin it

Is it me? Is it you? Is it fear?

Standing on the line I was given

People stare and ask me why I'm here

No one seems to think that I fit in

But I don't wanna be like them

No, 'cause I don't wanna be like them

'Cause I know that I, know that I

I had a dream that someday

I would just fly, fly away

And I always knew I couldn't stay

So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away, oh

Oh-oh, woah, oh, I'd fly away

No one knew how low I was feeling

I was scared to reach it all

Knowing I was here for a reason

But I was scared that if I tried, I'd fall

So where do I go now I'm in it?

I never thought it'd be like this

Dreaming all my life and I did it

Thought the grass was greener than then it is

'Cause I had a dream that someday

I would just fly, fly away

And I always knew I couldn't stay

So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away, oh

Oh-oh, woah, oh, I'd fly away

Oh, woah, woah, oh I'd fly away

'Cause I had a dream that someday

I would just fly, fly away

And I always knew I couldn't stay

So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away, oh

Oh-oh, woah (fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away)

Woah, woah, woah (fy away, fly away, fly away)

I'd fly away

#MusicMonday - "Looking Up" by Paramore

#MusicMonday is dedicated to "Looking Up" by Paramore, which was off of their Brand New Eyes album that was released in 2009. In May 2017, Paramore released a new album called, After Laughter. Check it out!

Things are looking up

Oh, finally

I thought I'd never see the day

When you'd smile at me

We always pull through

Oh, when we try

I'm always wrong

But you're never right

Oh, you're never right

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

Could have given up so easily

I was a few cheap shots away

From the end of me

Taken for granted

Almost everything

That I would have died for

Just yesterday

Just yesterday

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

God knows the world doesn't need another band

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

But what a waste it would've been

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore, no, oh

It's not a dream anymore, no, oh

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Yeah, we're just getting started

"Humble And Kind"

Written by Lori McKenna

You know there's a light that glows by the front door
Don't forget the key's under the mat
When childhood stars shine,
Always stay humble and kind

Go to church 'cause your mamma says to
Visit grandpa every chance that you can
It won't be wasted time
Always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why:
Bitterness keeps you from flyin'
Always stay humble and kind

Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love
"I love you" ain't no pick-up line
So always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

When it's hot, eat a root beer popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down
Let that summer sun shine
Always stay humble and kind

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're going don't forget turn back around
And help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind

#MusicMonday - Lupe Fiasco - "The Show Goes On"

#MusicMonday is dedicated to Lupe Fiasco and his song called, "The Show Goes On". 

This song has a great message of inspiration and motivation for working hard no matter what. May it inspire you!

"Alright, already the show goes on

All night, till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder,

When they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up

The show goes on!

Alright, already the show goes on

All night, till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder,

When they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up

The show goes on!

So no matter what you been through

No matter what you into

No matter what you see when you look outside your window

Brown grass or green grass

Picket fence or barbed wire

Never ever put them down

You just lift your arms higher

Raise 'em 'til your arms tired

Let em' know you're there

That you struggling and survivin'

That you gonna persevere

Yeah, ain't no body leavin',

No body goin' home

Even if they turn the lights out the show is goin' on!"
