Confessions From A Black Rose

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a safe and adventurous weekend. If your weekend was catastrophic, I am deeply sorry. I know how tough Mondays can be so I am providing y'all with five songs to help escape the misery of a Monday. I have been bitching about the current state of popular music for months and it is always amazing when I actually hear a great song on the radio. Can we all have a moment of silence for the state of popular music? Now that the moment is gone please share with my some of your favorites as well. 1. Shot At the Night - The Killers 2. The Art of Letting Go - Mariah Carey 3. Burn - Ellie Goulding 4. Human - Christina Perri 5. Do What U Want - Lady Gaga Featuring R. Kelly

I hope all of y'all had a fun but safe Halloween. I cannot believe we are already in November. I just remember it being summer and now we are in the middle of fall.
