Music Therapy with Miss Moon

" The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
~ Dolly Parton

"  Celebrate the wonderful and great days that you have and the occasional bad days will reduce."
~ Source Unknown

" Tough times never last, but tough people do."
~ Robert Shuller

I've learned that bad days aren't as bad as they seem. Surviving 3 bad days in a row without snapping can teach you that lesson. I've also learned that bad days aren't so bad when you are surrounded by good people, and that if you can find ten things to be grateful for, even on a bad day, then you are blessed.

Today's song choice for Music Therapy with Miss Moon is one that reminds us that we are built to survive bad days... even SEVERAL bad days. And if by any chance you are having a bad day today, I hope Nelly Furtado's "Spirit Indestructable" will lift your spirits!!



Through my one square foot window I see outside
I have chains on my feet, but not in my mind
I'll be dancing all day see the sun outside
Don't know how long it will be
Can't stop me

I have a spirit indestructible
A heart that loving was made for
A body that's a miracle

I have a spirit indestructible
A heart that was made pure
Unbreakable and that's for sure
Unshakeable, so give me more

Through my tired eyes I phase out the rain
With a meditation, I erased my pains
There's a rythym flowing through every vein
And the melody is never ending

I have a spirit indestructible
A heart that loving was made for
A body that's a miracle

I have a spirit indestructible
A heart that was made pure
Unbreakable and that's for sure
Unshakeable, so give me more

A-E-I-O-U

And though they may, and though they may
Take you away, take you away
You'll never break, you'll never break
Break

And though they may, though they may
Take you away, take you away
They'll never break, they'll never break
You

I have a spirit indestructible
A heart that loving was made for
A body that's a miracle

I have a spirit indestructible
A heart that was made pure
Unbreakable and that's for sure
Unshakeable, so give me more

A Little [K'NAAN] for a Saturday Night

Happy Saturday, All! I'm back with another song from an artist I think you all might dig. I certainly dig K'naan, and tonight's he is paired with another artist I most definitely dig, Nelly Furtado. I hope you all will enjoy "Is Anybody Out There?".

" There is just one life for each of us: our own."
~ Euripides

" The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are."
~ Jim Morrison

" This above all: to thine own self be true..."
~ William Shakespeare

When you dramatically alter your life in the hopes of creating a better one, and unfortunate fact is not everybody is going to unconditionally support you in the process. Some people will go as far as to deter you from your new path. They do this for a lot of reason, and it is often not a result of them being simply put, 'a hater'. Sometimes the intentions are genuinely positive. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, though... so perhaps it's best to keep on your own road and let them talk!

My song choice for Music Therapy this week is a song that I've always loved, but the message behind it didn't resonate with me 100%. Primarily because my ish has never been on the radio... but wouldn't it be great if it was?!?!? LOL

But the lyrics to the song could very easily be, "You liked me 'till I went back to college...", or "You liked me 'till I went vegetarian..." or even, "You liked me 'till I decided to get healthy....".

I believe that you should use naysayers as motivation to work harder to accomplish your dreams. Not to show them up for vindication, but truly because they wouldn't doubt you if some smart part of you didn't doubt yourself. Their words mirror some part of your own inner dialogue and in keeping it up and succeeding, you will prove that you can achieve everything and anything you set out to accomplish. So be true to yourself and keep going!!! I hope that you all will enjoy, "... On the Radio (Remember the Day)" by Nelly Furtado!



You liked me till' you heard my sh*t on the radio
Well I hate to say but pop aint' going solo
You liked me till' you heard my sh*t on the radio
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
You liked me till' you seen me on your t.v.
Well if you're so low below then why you watching
You say good things come to those who wait
Well I've been waiting a long time for it

I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself

You say your quest is to bring it higher
Well I never seen change without a fire
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
To the point where you can't even say hello
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about

I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself

It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool
Than to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
Than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire
Scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down
because we're all afraid of heights

I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself

Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me so so,
leave me down down down down low leave me down da down down da down da down down down...
Sh*t on the radio... sh*t on the radio... sh*t on the radio... sh*t on the radio

Music Therapy with Miss Moon

It's hot and muggy in NYC which can make it difficult to not call in sick from work and spend the day at the beach instead. This week's song is one that I am sure will motivate you to get up in the morning and seek out a day that's hot and fun... even at the old 9-to-5!!! N.E.R.D. featuring Nelly Furtado "Hot-N-Fun"... Enjoy!!
