Music Monday

Here's something to get you moving on this Monday...

Music Monday

Here's today's musical inspiration for you:

Music Monday

Have recently fallen in love with this song...

Especially the line..."you're crazy and I'm out of my mind..."

Yep, that about sums it up!

Music Monday

I don't care if I've actually already used this song...it has been a crazy few weeks and I need a song that makes me feel happy! And that makes me want to kick ass and take names!

Music Monday

Here's today's musical inspiration...

Music Monday

Recommended by a friend...she's right, this is the perfect song for a Monday. And you 80s kiddos will appreciate the flashback!

Music Monday

Another Oscar song for your musical inspiration this week. This is from the movie, but if you can see a clip of Idina Menzel singing it on the Oscars, that was an incredible performance!

And here's Idina's performance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon...so fun!

Music Monday

Okay, I must interrupt the previously scheduled Music Monday for today to include this amazing Oscar performance by Pink. AMAZING!

And what Whoopi Goldberg said about watching the Wizard of Oz as a kid? Yep, that's my family.

And if they keep pulling the performance for "copyright" issues, just Google it until you can find a clip. I'm including several versions here because throughout the day they keep getting taken down by YouTube.

Music Monday

Probably should have posted this before Valentine's Day. Oh well, still a good song!

And I am completely enjoying getting my Harry Connick Jr fix every week on American Idol!

Music Monday

Always a fan of U2, I was so grateful that a friend alerted me that the video for their newest song was released this past week. And they'll be on the new Tonight Show tonight. 

Enjoy!

And this is also a reminder to get me your music recommendations!

Music Monday

I watched the tribute to the Beatles last night and it was incredible. Didn't even make me sad that I was missing the Olympic coverage.

As this is one of my personal Beatles favorites, sung by one of my favorite artists, I thought this was a perfect Music Monday song this week!

Enjoy!

Music Monday

I saw a friend post this video on Facebook the other day and thought it would make a good Music Monday! And it's from Despicable Me 2, which is one of our new favorite funny movies here in the Yusko family.

Music Monday

Because I'm SUPER excited about this concert...and the fact that I have tickets...I had to use this song today. Even though I know that I've used it before.

Music Monday

Thought I would pick this musical inspiration for today's holiday...

Music Monday

Okay, today is the first day back to work in a LOOOOONG time. It is going to be a painful week, I can already tell. I need this song to get me going today...

And they obviously haven't done a video for it, that I can find quickly on YouTube anyway. But at least you can hear the song.

Music Monday

Having just returned from a WONDERFUL vacation in Hawaii late last night, I think I need this song to get me going today...

Music Monday

I followed this kid's story while he was sick, and this beautiful song that he wrote when he realized that he was going to die. The song has touched so many people and done many great things (when you download it from iTunes, the money is donated to a fund in his name that is in turn donated to cancer research at the hospital that was treating him).

Zach passed away in May, 2013. This video is a tribute concert from December, 2013 where 5,000 people gathered at the Mall of America to sing his song. Beautiful.

More info on the day can be found by reading this article.

Recently, Anderson Cooper named Zach one of 2013's Extraordinary People. I'm sure you can find the segment online. It was really moving.

I figured this was a good video to wrap up 2013's Music Mondays.

And if you love the song as much as I do, go ahead and download it.

Music Monday

I love this video! You've got to watch it all the way through!

Music Monday

I'm not even sure if I've already used this song, but I really like this song. And hope that those that need it, believe in the message as well.

And some day, when teenage boy spends the time to read through this blog, I hope he knows that I mean these words...

Music Monday

So, I keep hearing this song during the very few times I've been in the car over the past few weeks. I feel like this must be a sign that it's supposed to be a Music Monday selection. And then the DJ just said that you have to watch the "dog version" of this video. So, here you go!
