Good Tuesday afternoon dear friend, here is another weird and true fact about New Year's.  If you hear plates breaking in Denmark on New Year’s Eve, it’s considered good luck. The Danes hold a tradition of throwing plates at the front door of family and friends’ homes to welcome good fortune for the new year.

Good Tuesday afternoon. I will be adding three songs to the GSOTD post and Playlist. Enjoy the music. Pop/Pop Rock/Classic Rock: Rock'n Me by Steve Miller Band. "Rock'n Me" (also known as "Rock 'N Me" or "Rock 'N' Me") is a song by American rock band Steve Miller Band, released in 1976 from the band's ninth studio album Fly Like an Eagle  (1976). It was written by primary band leader and songwriter Steve Miller and released as the second single from the album. Miller also produced the song and album. The North American release of the single was generally credited to Steve Miller as an individual. In contrast, the European release was generally credited to the Steve Miller Band as a whole group. The song achieved lasting commercial and critical success, with Billboard labeling it "an immediate audience grabber". It became the band's second #1 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed at the top for one week, it also topped the Canadian RPM  Top Singles chart. In later years, the song has been included in several compilation albums such as 1978's Greatest Hits 1974–78  and 1991's The Very Best of the Steve Miller Band. Adult Contemporary/Singer-songwriter: Goodnight Moon by Shivaree. "Goodnight Moon" is a song by American alternative rock band Shivaree, written by Ambrosia Parsley and Duke McVinnie. It is the seventh track on the band's debut album, I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump  (1999) and was released as the band's debut single on March 24, 2000. The song topped the Italian Singles Chart and became a top-30 hit in France. Shivaree has not had another such hit, making them a one-hit wonder.  Alternative/Alternative Pop/Electronica/Folktronica/Pop/Oslo: Cherry Came Too by Flunk. Flunk is a Norwegian electronic band consisting of producer Ulf Nygaard, guitarist Jo Bakke, vocalist Anja Øyen Vister, and bassist Ole Kristian Wetten. Drummer Erik Ruud played with the band between 2012 and 2020.

Good Thursday afternoon dear friend. The fall of 2008 was my darkest valley, one of the darkest times that I have ever experienced in my life. I did not have a support group, my family had always looked to me for support and as a steady post. They were at a loss when my darkness came calling upon me. My glimpse of hope, my glimpse of survival came the moment I was going to end it for good, just as my older brother Donnie had accomplished back in October of 2019. But it wasn't meant to be. GOD is real that is why I'm still here, for some unknown reason he spared me from self-destruction, from self-eradication. I witnessed a miracle of healing when I was 15, my ex-girlfriend's 8-year-old sister was on her death bed and doctors had told her parents to go home and start funeral and burial arrangements for their daughter. But GOD had a different plan, instead, she woke up asking for food, and she was not ever supposed to wake again. She went home two days later just as healthy as any normal 8-year-old, she was supposed to be in a casket. That miracle I witnessed GOD wanted me to know HE is just as real for me as HE was and is for that little girl Nichole (Who now has a family of her own). You see my dear friend, not all hope is lost when we don't see any hope. GOD opened my eyes and my HEART to show me that there is no greater hope for man, woman, or whoever else you may see yourself as than the HOPE that HE is for me, for you, and for this sick world. Give HIM that chance to be your HOPE as HE did for me. I wanted out, I wanted it to end, and I did, but HE decided against it. My dear friend, it never has to become that hopeless for you, so grab hold of the greatest HOPE that I have now, and you will see what I say is true.  And to answer your question, my dear friend, no! No, I do not know why GOD spared me and not my brother Donnie eleven years later. Just as Nichole does not know why GOD spared her and not other 8-year-old beautiful children. But I know GOD is real...See for yourself... Have a great Thursday dear friend, take care and GOD bless...   ... View more

Good Thursday afternoon, welcome to GSOTD. I will be adding three songs to today's post and Playlist. And remember this dear friend, you can make a request or post your music here as well. Enjoy the music. Singer-songwriter/Acoustic Guitar: I'm Ready by Tracy Chapman. The song "I'm Ready" features the line "I'm ready" multiple times, which was taken from the popular children's TV show, 'Spongebob Squarepants', and is said by Spongebob himself. The song is about falling in love, and the singers are coming off in such an outspoken way because they are lonely and crave a significant other yet have no one to hold on to. Rock: What's The World Coming To by Fleetwood Mac. At its core, “What’s the World Coming To” reflects on the state of the world and the uncertainties that surround us. The lyrics delve into the challenges and changes occurring in society, questioning the moral and ethical fabric of the world. The song poses introspective questions about the direction humanity is heading, highlighting the struggles and conflicts prevalent in our modern times. Fleetwood Mac expresses concern about the degradation of values and the impact it has on individuals and society as a whole. Rock/Country Rock/Pop-Rock/ Hard Rock: All She Wants To Do Is Dance by Don Henley. "All She Wants to Do Is Dance" is a song written by Danny Kortchmar and performed by Don Henley, co-lead vocalist and drummer for Eagles. It was released as the second single from Henley's second studio solo album, Building the Perfect Beast  (1984), and was Henley's sixth solo single overall. It was one of Henley's most commercially successful singles, peaking at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also became his third song to top the Top Rock Tracks chart.  Have a great Thursday, take care and GOD bless...     ...

Good Tuesday afternoon, welcome to GSOTD (clean), I will be adding three songs to today's post and Playlist. Enjoy the music. Pop/Folk/Singer-songwriter/Rock: Nothing But Love by Jewel.  Freewheelin' Woman is the thirteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Jewel, released on April 15, 2022, via her label, Words Matter Media. It is Jewel's first album in seven years, following 2015's Picking Up the Pieces. The album was co-produced by Jewel and Butch Walker and was developed with the intention for Jewel to create music that she felt connected to and excited about rather than creating to meet expectations. Lyrically, the album touches on themes of independence, hope, womanhood, and heartbreak.  Pop/Rock/Alternative Pop/Alternative Rock/Pop-Rock: Losing The Plot by Alanis Morissette. In 2019, Morissette left Los Angeles with her husband and children for Northern California, where she moved to be closer to her best friends and redwood forests. She hasn't looked back since. That's because moving was about more than just Morissette's love for skiing on Lake Tahoe. That's the story she tells intimately in "Losing The Plot." Beyond the song's universal questions, it also tells us the very personal journey of a middle-aged rock-pop star struggling in an industry that idolizes women ages 17 to 29 and gives older women reductive views. As she told Vogue, after reaching middle age, Morissette became "super disenfranchised" with the city.  Ballad: What Am I Doing Here by Dido. Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong, known professionally as Dido. "What Am I Doing Here" by Dido is a poignant and introspective song that delves into themes of longing, missed opportunities, and the search for true connection. The artist explores the feelings of emptiness and displacement that arise from being physically present but emotionally distant from someone you deeply care about.  Have a great Tuesday, take care and GOD bless...   ...
