Music Therapy with Miss Moon

“We've got to learn hard things in our lifetime, but it's love that gives you the strength. It's being nice to people and having a lot of fun and laughing harder than anything, hopefully every single day of your life.”
~ Drew Barrymore

"Live and work but do not forget to play, to have fun in life and really enjoy it."
~ Eileen Caddy

"Fun is good."
~ Dr. Seuss

I've been working my but off lately. With "Getting Healthy", blogging, job searching and taking care of business around Casa di Miss Moon, there's a lot going on for me. One thing that is never EVER in short supply, however, is fun. I try to have fun and laugh as much as I can every single day.

It's easy to rush around feeling stressed about life, but what I've discovered is that when you have fun, it makes the challenges of the day a lot easier to deal with. So when I am tired from walking 8 miles, cooking dinner and cranking out resumes, I take time to devote myself to some fun. I veg out with my main man Spongebob Squarepants for an hour, I play with makeup and snap photos ("America's Next Top Model" style) or I listen to music on my iPod.... or Music Therapy, if you will! LOL

And speaking of Music Therapy, this week's song choice is dedicated to having fun and feeling great in the process. Even if you take a moment to read this blog post and listen to the song, be proud of yourself to dedicating less than 10 minutes of an otherwise busy day for something fun. And I hope that it IS fun for you, and why wouldn't it be? After all, it's the terrific Solange Knowles!!! I picked one of her songs that always lifts my spirits. This song just makes me so damn HAPPY!! In fact, it's one of my favorite songs to dance and sing a long to... Fun times! Please enjoy, "Sandcastle Disco". And have fun today... You deserve it!




Who would've known, the wind and the sunshine
Would oh baby, baby
Build up these walls of mine
And I can't see you or breathe you
Cause there's trouble right beneath you
It's all in the night
But oh baby, baby
Come pick me up in your ride

I'm a cool low Jane
With the skip on my feet
I play tough as nails
With my heart on my sleeve
I'm nothing but a sand castle
Baby don't blow me away, away

Baby I know, you do that to all the girls
You know that I'm fragile, oh
Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away
Baby I know, you do that to all the girls
You know that I'm fragile, oh
Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away

Who would've known, the storm of my past time
Would oh baby, make me
Losing the song of the eye
And I can't believe you or read you
Cause there's pleasure in your preview
It's all in your eyes
But oh Mr. DJ, baby
Can you meet me outside

You're an old school dude
With the kick on ya shoes
You've got groove in ya hands
The way you spend those tunes
I'm nothing but a sandcastle
Baby don't blow me away, away

Baby I know, you do that to all the girls
Baby I'm fragile, oh
Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away
Baby I know, you do that to all the girls
You know that I'm fragile, oh
Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away

Ooh, and just like the ocean
Lays right there behind me
Look over my sandcastle
And there's a sight to see
Don't blow me away
Don't blow me baby

Ooh baby I know, you do that to all the girls
You know that I'm fragile, oh
Bay ba ba ba baby, don't blow me away
Baby I know, you do that to all the girls
You know that I'm fragile, oh
Bay ba ba ba baby, please don't blow me away

Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
