Thankful for brilliant covers!!

Of course I'm thankful for family and friends and I've been extremely blessed with a new and fantastic job this year! I couldn't ask for more. But the holidays make me especially grateful for music!

Thank you to any musician who keeps creating new and inspiring sounds/lyrics and covers to share with the rest of the world. I only allow myself a handful of credits and strength and independence I own up to. Music allows me the reason to feel human (anything at all)  (and flawed) and to give pause and live in the moment. Without these moments I would cease to exist!

To be able to make a playlist of my own to combine new artists and create a general vibe that gets me through the day and *excited* to do so, is the best feeling in the world! I'm still working on a few, but in the meantime I want to post some brillant covers of otherwise *nauseating* songs!

To be able to re-purpose songs like these is a true testament to the talent of these artists/musicians.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
