Pandora how I adore thee. You turned me onto this song – Breathe Me by Sia. And I love it. Once I did a little searching I figured out why I loved her voice so much.
(Oh holy crap the embedding is disabled of Breathe Me on YouTube. Curse those who won’t let me embed! I love this song! Go check it out here if you’re so inclined. The video is cool).
Anywho, Sia is also one of the singers that was with the band Zero 7 and they sing Destiny which was one of the songs that helped feed my writing soul as I purged it all out with a book last year that turned into Forbidden.
Was that a run on sentence or what? My editor would be appalled.
The best lyrics in this song (besides the porn reference – yes there’s a porn reference!) are in the chorus:
When I’m weak I draw strength from you
And when you’re lost I know how to change your mood
And when I’m down you breathe life over me
Even though we’re miles apart we are each others destiny
Last year when I was in the Forbidden writing frenzy (and it was a frenzy, it just poured out of me), I would hear this song and cry. Cry I say. I was a wreck.
Forbidden has been my best selling book to date. And I don’t think it’s just because it’s so naughty. I poured my soul into that sucker, I really did. I’m re-reading it at this very moment – galleys for the print book that’s coming in December. So it’s fitting that as I re-read it I discover this song. Don’t ya think?
Love you Pandora! Love you Sia!
Any songs you’ve discovered lately? Oh I have another one that I love, love, love – I’ll share it next week.

Did you love that show on Vh1? I sure did. I watched it so much – my favorites were the Faith Hill, Shania Twain and Boy George episodes. Oh and I loved the Def Leppard one too. Funny I mention the two country singers and I’m not a huge country fan…
Anywho, I was sad when they quit airing the show but hey — Vh1 Classics still airs it. And I watched The Genesis episode. Very interesting. Also made me write down a few song titles so I could add them to my playlist.
For whatever reason, my brother hates Phil Collins. Which means my oldest son hates Phil Collins too. I don’t get it. Now there are some Phil Collins/Genesis songs that make me cringe but there are also a few songs that I really like. Like this one — which I forgot about.
The lyrics are good – I found them quite fitting for a book I’m going to continue working on here soon. Had that other project land in my lap that occupied me but I’m almost done. Then I must focus on end of school year stuff (stresses me right the heck out) and then…bring on summer!

Since it was my husband’s birthday we did something special. First we went out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Then we went to a concert! We never go to concerts.
First up was this band:
They were good! Never heard of them before but I did recognize one of their songs – heard it on the radio before. Jeez, I’m getting old.
Next up was this band:
Oh, they were really good. I love Lifehouse! Though they didn’t sing my absolute favorite song of theirs, they’re forgiven. They write the best songs! They sound great live too.
Finally this band came on:
What a show! Three great bands, a sold out crowd. The place was packed and everyone was going nuts. Awesome light show, awesome music, we had such a great time! My husband said it was truly a memorable birthday. Can’t ask for more than that right?

I still heart Adam Lambert even if he did offend all of America with his antics on the AMA show. I felt his performance was a little over the top, like he wanted to scream at everyone, “IN YO’ FACE!” but I forgive him. The boy wants to shock and stay on everyone’s lips and he sure did that now didn’t he?
Here’s his sexxx-ay video for For Your Entertainment. This is not my favorite song on the album. It’s okay but it doesn’t make me go OMG that was HAWT. But the video’s fun and he’s pretty…
I stumbled upon his album today at Amazon for a super price of $3.99. I thought that was a deal. Considering I had a coupon code to save $3 on a MP3 download, I got his album for a mere 99 cents.
The coupon code is MP34FREE and it expires on Monday, November 30. A free $3 code – RUN to Amazon now, people. It’s just too awesome to pass up. I *heart* free.
Yeah, that’s awesome.

It’ll be announced Monday and let me tell you, it’s a good one. Like involving jewelry and we all love jewelry, right?? Come back Monday and check it out!
I’ll leave you with my latest favorite song. Oh, it’s an oldie but a goodie. I had no clue it was so old – like almost 30 years old! Damn it I’m getting old. I remember seeing this video on MTV waaaaaaay back in the day. Back when MTV actually played music videos and nothing else. That was a long time ago.
It’s by Split Enz – One Step Ahead. I stumbled upon it last weekend while searching for another song by Split Enz. I realized I liked this one way better. Enjoy! Don’t judge if you hate it. It’s pure 80s music and I’m sorry, but I’m a product of the 80s and proud of it. Ha!
