New Mariah Music Come At Me Please

Mariah Carey (my most favourite singer/artist in the universe) has a new album coming out soon to which she hasn’t alluded to the release date.  

 

Apparently her newest album is a return to her old 80’s and 90’s sound and she/her management team have been dropping hints of names of songs and a ‘secret’ video shoot recently.

 

I have played all of her albums to death and am really hanging for a new one that I can  then too play to death.

Patience – I need it.

Patience – I don’t have it.

Miss Keys!

I feel incredibly blessed to have seen the extraordinary Alicia Keys perform live last night.  She has been one of my most favourite artists for as long as I can remember and the concert was a true ‘pinch-myself’ moment. I am still in my “Alicia Keys” bubble today and haven’t come back down to earth just yet. ♥

Alicia Keys In Australia So Soon!

Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

♥

What songs/music lifts your spirits most?

Stay triumphant, keep on living...♥

Can't fall down, stay triumphant, keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the rope
Don't let 'em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who's the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make 'em all fall down

Beneath Your Beautiful xx

Thank-you Universe!

But no Melbourne?

I LOVE Mariah Carey.  

 

Mariah  has got to be one of the most gifted vocalists in the world and I have ALWAYS idolised her.

I know every lyric of every song she ever recorded (almost) and I seem to identify her music  as the soundtrack of my life so far.   I don’t know how many times I have jumped around singing such songs as ‘Honey’, ‘Always Be My Baby’ and  'Butterfly' but it has been a few  - or perhaps a lot. 

ANYWAY the point I am trying to get to (eventually) is that she is rumoured to be heading to Australia in the near future and I am beyond thrilled at the mere prospect of that rumour.

 

The slight chance of her gracing Aussie shores to tour is enough to send me into girlish excitement overload. I am constantly on Twitter waiting for updates  and the green light that is ACTUALLY happening.

 

Please Universe - let it be happening... :)

Just take my hand and hold it...

 

Today this song came on the radio as I was driving my car.

The lyrics are just so beautiful to me. ♥

Day #29: This is my song

I love music. So many songs have been so inspirational to me for many different reasons. One song that I adore so much right now is 'Paradise' by Coldplay.

A life without an eating disorder is bliss. And it's not until you have really struggled so greatly and then find yourself in a time and place where you are well and free that you really begin to feel that 'Paradise'.

It is a feeling I cannot explain so I will let Coldplay do it for me...

Just me, myself & I

What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) is a song written and performed by the beautiful Kelly Clarkson (about some silly man who broke her heart).  Funnily enough this song made me think about the difficult time I’ve had with an eating disorder and the truth of what doesn’t kill you does indeed make you all the more stronger. The general message of the song is to be a fighter and  relishing your freedom from what is a negative influence on your life, be it a deadbeat guy or perhaps an ED.  I just love it!

                      
                 

"What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)"

You know the bed feels warmer

Sleeping here all alone

You know I dream in color

And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me

Think you've had the last laugh

Bet you think that everything good is gone

Think you left me broken down

Think that I'd come running back

Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

I am free

Once I was a prisoner

Lost inside myself

With the world surrounding me

Wandering through the misery

But now I am free…

Free to live

Free to laugh

Free to soar

Free to give

Free to love

Free enough to fly

Once I was all so alone

But now

I am free

Greatest Love of All

On Sunday I logged onto my computer to find that the incredibly talented Whitney Houston had passed away. Her music, especially this song:

                                                     

                                                                                          has always been such an inspiration to me.

R.I.P Whitney -  a true legend gone far too soon.

An Inspiring Song
