Confessions From A Black Rose

Emily King: "Can't Hold Me" I was introduced to this song through a Spotify playlist a few days ago and I'm obsessed. I feel it is my duty to introduce this song to as many people as possible.   It has to be on everyone's playlist.  When the song begins it feels like the moment when you lock eyes with a handsome stranger. As the song progresses you feel the flirtation and excitement that comes with a new relationship. By the bridge you experience the obsession and frustration that comes with a toxic relationship. At the  conclusion, complete liberation. It is a roller coaster of emotions that you want to relive over and over again. 

The past few weeks the world has been in turmoil. The confirmed cases of COVID-19 have increased significantly. The lives that have been lost are increasing at an alarming rate.  Most people around the world are under stay-at-home orders. The CDC is now advising people to wear face masks in public.   Life as we know it has changed forever. In times like these it is really important to protect your mental health as well as your physical health. Lately, I have found myself gravitating  towards the classic song "Somewhere" from the movie The West Side Story . It has been really comforting during these dark and uncertain days. I particularly love the rendition performed by Il Divo. I decided to share it with you all. I pray that it will bring you solace as well. It is also important to have a good laugh. Chris Mann from The Voice released an outstanding parody of "Hello" (Adele classic) about life during quarantine. Check it out below.
