*Takes a deep breath...*
That deep breath was taken for a couple reasons. First reason being I had kind of a bit of a scare a few days ago. I lost my Michael Jackson Essentials CDs. I woke up a few mornings ago looking to get back in my groove with changing up the music selection I had been playing. If you read my last blog you know that I really had been listening to Nelly Furtado’s album called Loose A LOT. So in effort to switch things up and back into an uplifting beat I went right to the music that always does that for me. Only to find when I went to find the CDs in the last place I remembered putting them they were not there. I tried not to panic. So, I calmly moved over to my CD collection that is fairly organized and alphabetized. Nope not in the M’s section. At this point I’m a little nervous. I check the area of my CD racks that has CDs I haven’t added to the collection yet. Still no luck. Now I’m frustrated because nothing bothers me more than losing something. I frantically went through the video tape in my head trying to figure out what the hell I could have done with it. I check a few other places in my house I might have moved it to. In my desperation I text my friend who was the last person that touched my CD collection besides myself to see if she had moved it around or (and I really doubted it) taken it with her when she left. Neither. Damn it. So, I thought to myself let it go and try again later. Give it time to surface again. I put other music in and enjoyed it a well, but my mind was still on thinking about where my CDs had gone.
Few days past and I do the same thing as I did a few days ago only this time go through my CDs one at a time. Found it! Thank god. It was in fact there the whole time. I just must have looked right at it several time. Regardless it is back in rotation and leads me right back into my song of the week. The last two songs have been some heavy hitters and so I wanted to lighten up the mood a bit this week. Music doesn’t always have to help me work through some healing it can also just be fun. This weeks song of the week is “Off The Wall” by Michael Jackson. It’s got a very refreshing message of just letting go and feeling the groove. That is exactly how I feel these days. I have to give my sometime to breathe after doing some serious healing. I need to reward myself for doing the work because I really have been. Proud of myself and happy as hell. I’m feeling lighter and lighter with each day.
So the second reason is for all the hard work and healing I have been doing. Time to take a moment to appreciate where I am at now. Feels good.
Most of the lyrics speak for themselves, but I will point out a few that really stood out to me.
"Off The Wall"
[1st Verse]
When The World Is On Your Shoulder
Gotta Straighten Up Your Act And Boogie Down
If You Can't Hang With The Feeling
Then There Ain't No Room For You This Part Of Town
'Cause We're The Party People Night And Day
Livin' Crazy That's The Only Way
[Chorus]
So Tonight Gotta Leave That Nine To Five Upon The Shelf
And Just Enjoy Yourself
Groove, Let The Madness In The Music Get To You
Life Ain't So Bad At All
(These lyrics probably speak to me the most.)
If You Live It Off The Wall
Life Ain't So Bad At All (Live Life Off The Wall)
Live Your Life Off The Wall (Live It Off The Wall)
[2nd Verse]
You Can Shout Out All You Want To
'Cause There Ain't No Sin In Folks All Getting Loud
If You Take The Chance And Do It
Then There Ain't No One Who's Gonna Put You Down
'Cause We're The Party People Night And Day
Livin' Crazy That's The Only Way
[Chorus]
So Tonight Gotta Leave That Nine To Five Upon The Shelf
And Just Enjoy Yourself
C'mon And Groove, And Let The Madness In The Music Get To You
Life Ain't So Bad At All
If You Live It Off The Wall
Life Ain't So Bad At All (Live Life Off The Wall)
Live Your Life Off The Wall (Live It Off The Wall)
[Bridge]
Do What You Want To Do
There Ain't No Rules It's Up To You (Ain't No Rules It's All Up To You)
(Do what you want to do and love to do.)
It's Time To Come Alive
And Party On Right Through The Night (All Right)
[3rd Verse]
Gotta Hide Your Inhibitions
Gotta Let That Fool Loose Deep Inside Your Soul
(So true you got to let loose deep down inside your soul.)
Want To See An Exhibition
Better Do It Now Before You Get To Old
'Cause We're The Party People Night And Day
Livin' Crazy That's The Only Way
[Chorus]
So Tonight Gotta Leave That Nine To Five Upon The Shelf
And Just Enjoy Yourself
C'mon And Groove (Yeah) Let The Madness In The Music Get To You
Life Ain't So Bad At All If You Live It Off The Wall
Life Ain't So Bad At All (Live Life Off The Wall)
Live Your Life Off The Wall (Live It Off The Wall)
[Chorus]
So Tonight Gotta Leave That Nine To Five Upon The Shelf
And Just Enjoy Yourself
C'mon And Groove (Yeah) Let The Madness In The Music Get To You
Life Ain't So Bad At All If You Live It Off The Wall
Life Ain't So Bad At All (Live Life Off The Wall)
Live Your Life Off The Wall (Live It Off The Wall)
We all are hard at work trying to work through this thing called life. Take those moments to really appreciate the work you do in all phases of your life. So let go and ENJOY YOURSELF.
