it's about time

I just came across this song in my youtubing today. 
I've known it and loved it for all of my life, but, I love it.
That doesn't make any sense. 
However, it's beautiful.

SONG: Till There Was You
ARTIST: Barbara Cook/Shirley Jones
ALBUM: The Music Man

but I never heard it singing
Till There Was You."

the goose is getting fat


Ohhhhhh emmmmm geeeeeeee.
The blessed month of december is FINALLY upon us!
you know what that means.....CHRISTMAS SONGS! (even though i've been listening since Nov. 1st)
I would like to pay tribute to one of my favorite christmas songs.
this was the first christmas song i heard, and you bet your little snowy boots that i started to cry. it's what christmas music does do me, okay?

SONG: Where are you Christmas?
ARTIST: cindy lou who/faith hill
Album: How The Grinch Stole Christmas

this is one of my VERY favorite christmas songs and movies. There are two versions of the song: in the first, cindy lou is singing about the holiday that used to bring her so much joy, but because of all the hustle and bussle, she can't seem to find the special glow in her heart that christmas brings. She isn't sure if the feelings of giving and joy and peace are felt by all her other who-neighbors.

look at how cute she is! awwwwww. ohhh cindy, don't you know that you can save christmas? obviously she does, because she ends up saving christmas....so....

as much as i love that cute, un-timely sentimental version of the song, i prefer the Faith Hill version.

mmmmmhmmmm. that's what i'm talkin'bout. look at that hair. sooooo nice. classy, even. nothing beats driving around and BLASTING this song in the car. the song starts off melancholy with a hint of wishing, and as the ballad moves forward, so does the feeling: it gets SO intense! you can really feel the anxiousness as the worry that the true meaning of christmas is gone forever. HOwever, ironically, the song that is doubtful of the true meaning of christmas has become a season favorite....heh. 
you know i belt it along with faith. i went on a date one time, and i told the guy that when i first heard this song i teared up.....probs not the best choice of "funny facts about myself."
oh well.
i still heart the song..
