You’re going to hate life, and yourself, for a little while. Why? Because though you may resist as hard as you can, you will find yourself liking the track “Chicken Noodle Soup.”

K-Pop darling J-Hope and Becky G collaborate for the earworm, and the viral #ChickenNoodleSoupChallenge, where the yung-ins try to imitate J-Hope’s too-slick-for-planet-Earth dance moves.
​

Chicken noodle soup and a can of pop (as we call it in this neck of the woods) is the ultimate feel-better combo. And J-Hope and Becky G are as well.

So Easy

9/23/2019

We complicate things. We get in our own way. If we had a more simplistic approach to life and loving ourselves, we’d be happier. That’s the gist of The Head and The Heart’s “See You Through My Eyes”.

How many times have we muffed something from overthinking? Or thinking our baggage will ruin everything? We all have baggage. So, let’s move on..
​

This all could be so easy…

Love Is

9/17/2019

 
… Everything. It really is. It lifts you up. It kicks you in the crotch… and everything in between. Love bonds us, or breaks us. And it’s something that’s been written about since the beginning of time.

Grace Potter sums up love in her latest, Love is Love.
​


With her wanton, gritty vocals, Grace sings of messing up in love and loving love and needing love.

But all seems to be well with the love life of Grace, since her hubby produced this tune.
​
That makes us happy.

Got Your Back

9/9/2019

 
It’s not the Jackson 5 version, but Walk Off the Earth’s “I’ll Be There” carries a loving sentiment. It’s not the romantical kind, but it is a song all about love done up in a pop-reggae vibe...
 
I’ll be there for the highs and lows
Give you mine if your heart gets broke
By your side when you’re all alone
I will be there
When you’re down on your luck
No ride home and you got too drunk
2am I will pick you up
I will be there
​

The band has been through its share of heartache. Last December Mike “Beard Guy” Taylor died from natural causes in his sleep, just as the band was ready to embark on a world tour. They’re on the road now, on the road to healing. And with this tune, we know that someone will always have our back.​

Make It a Positive

​There was a time when Scott Stapp was on top of the world. His band, Creed, had jet-rocketed into outer space after gaining airplay on a hometown radio station. There wasn’t a song that wasn’t a hit.

And then the bottom fell out. Substance abuse. Egos. Too much fame and fortune. Most recently, Scott had hit rock bottom—again. But now, he’s back. And dare we say—rockin’ fabulous.

His latest track, “Purpose For Pain” is delicious rock as it should be—heavy guitars, tight harmonies, and Scott’s unmistakable vocal stylizing.

The song is about "…Seeking a higher meaning, a spiritual mentality when dealing with our struggles and life’s painful moments. There are unexplainable, dark times that everyone goes through, and that pain is real. If we can dig deep and hold on to hope during the most difficult situations, believing there is a purpose waiting for us on the others side, we can find meaning and clarity that gives us the strength to keep fighting.”


Fight on…
