Hello! So I learned about Music Monday from Drew@the tattooed book geek (I’d say “if you haven’t heard of him than go check out his blog!” …but, that’s just funny! I’m honoured that Drew knows who I AM! I mean, go check out his blog if you DON’T know… but, who doesn’t know??) and I HAD to participate!! UNFORTUNATELY, I don’t have a fancy blog where I can post videos… So, this is my poor version!
My song for today is “the Light before we Land” by the Delgados. If you want to listen on youtube, click HERE
In cases such as these I’d like a hand
Don’t wake me up without a master plan
With silence I’m becoming fragile
Don’t you understand?
When things that once were beautiful
Are bland
And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of mine
Haven for us
In truth there is no better place to be
Than falling out of darkness still to see
Without a premonition
Could you tell me where we stand?
I’d hate to lose this light
Before we land
And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of mine
Haven for us
Before we let euphoria
Convince us we are free
Remind us how we used to feel
Before when life was real
And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time
For this head of mine
Haven for us
Also the opening song for a fantastic anime called “Gunslinger Girls”
Great song 🙂

Great song choice, Nicole. I haven’t heard of Gunslinger Girl (musically inept!). I love the lyrics. 🙂

Open the video in you tube. Go to the bottom right and look for the “Share” option. Click on it. A box should open with a bunch of social media icons and a link. Save the link.
Here’s what I do next. I open my post in the editor as normal. I click on the HTML tab. I paste the link in there. Then I hit preview. I see if the video is showing up. Then I go back to the post editor in the normal ‘visual’ tab and continue putting together the post.

Ha ha! Well…. I’ll have to work on that. I think I can manage. I’ve been on social media for all of 5 months now, I’m still learning. This sounds like I can attempt it!! Thank you!! I want to give you a big techno hug and I want to say that you have saved my music Mondays forever!! 💖💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I had so many ideas and I couldn’t figure out how to show them without a video!! Words cannot express how awesome you are!! 💖💖💖🍻🍻🎉🎉😄😄

Hope it works for you after all this! 😂

When I save a link and put it in HTML mode… It’s just a link. Maybe I have a super cheap version blog? I have no idea what I would be doing wrong…
