Music Therapy with Miss Moon

Happy Monday, Everybody!!! To start this week, I thought I would share with you all one of my favorite songs to wake up to. Whenever this song plays in my morning mix, I always stay in bed a few moments until its over before getting up.

I hope that Any Other Day by Wyclef Jean (featuring Norah Jones) will left your spirits as much as it lifts mine in the morning.

Hmmmmmmmm... mmmmmmm
Today is, not like, any other day
This one is runnin, turn a darker shade of grey
What, will, I, have, left (tell me tell me)
(Somebody tell me now)
When, this, hard, rain's, gone away
There is a safe place, that I used to know
It's the only place, that I want to go
Where, else, could, I (tell me tell me)
(Somebody tell me now)
'Til, this, hard, rain's, gone away

Grandma, grandpa, mother, father
Sister, brother, Lord
Please help the child
I heard the preacher say it's okay, I heard the preacher say
I see the airplane
I hear the engine on the boat
But y'all can't see me wavin the flag
Somebody please wave the flag

What, will, I, have, left (tell me tell me)
(Somebody tell me now)
When, this, hard, rain's, gone away
Today is, not like, any other day
So I'm gone, I have to find, my own way
(People, we gotta find another way!)
Can, you, tell, me, how
When, the, hard, rain's, gone away

I see them wavin the flag
Tell the chopper over here man we wavin the flag
I see them wavin the flag
Tell the boat over here man we wavin the flag
Man I'm wavin the flag
Tell the chopper over here man we wavin the flag
Man I'm wavin the flag
Tell the boat over here man we wavin the flag, wavin the flag, wavin the flag

Music Therapy with Miss Moon

Let's face it: sometimes the hardest part of your day is turning off the alarm and dragging your butt out of bed. I am sure I am not the only one who has felt this way, am I?

It's tough as hell to leave my honey snuggled into the bed to face the coldness of the bathroom at 7 AM sometimes. That's why I am always grateful when my iPod plays this week's selection for Music Therapy with Miss Moon as part of my morning mix. "Gotta Get Up", by Jill Scott, featuring 4Hero.








I hope that this particular Music Therapy choice will inspire you to face the day.... the mellow soul way!

Miss Moon's "Get One" Giveaway!!!!

I've posted about a few of the songs from John Legend's collaboration with The Roots, "Wake Up" on this blog so far, and I am so happy it's finally available in stores. I've known for a few weeks now that my latest "Get One" Giveaway would have to be the C.D.!! Hooray!!!!



I'm so happy that the sale of every copy creates money for Arts Education and supports all of the advocacy efforts of Americans for the Arts, as I'm a former Music Education major. I am a firm believer that exposure to The Arts enriches the lives of children and I'm super proud that in a small way, this giveaway will support this.
