Dear Hate/////For All The Victims Of The Las Vegas Shooting

Dear hate

I saw you on the news today

Like a shock that takes my breath away

You fall like rain, cover us in drops of pain

I'm afraid that we just might drown

Dear hate

Well, you sure are colorblind

Your kiss is the cruelest kind

You could poison any mind

Just look at mine

Don't know how this world keeps spinning 'round and 'round

You were there in the garden, like a snake in the grass

I see you in the morning staring through the looking glass

You whisper down in history and echo through these halls

But I hate to tell you, love's gonna conquer all

Dear hate

You were smiling from that Selma bridge

In Dallas, when that bullet hit and Jackie cried

You pulled those towers from the sky

But even on our darkest nights

The world keeps spinning 'round

You were there in the garden, like a snake in the grass

I see you in the morning staring through the looking glass

You whisper down through history and echo through these halls

But I hate to tell you, love's gonna conquer all

Dear love

Just when I think you've given up

You were there in the garden when I ran from your voice

I hear you every morning through the chaos and the noise

You still whisper down through history and echo through these halls

And tell me love's gonna conquer all

Gonna conquer all

This is not my song. This song is by Maren Morris. She released it after the shooting. Please pray for all the victims and their families.

The Green Fields of France

 Well how do you do, young Willie McBride?

Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?

And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun

I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done

I see by your gravestone you were only 19

When you joined the great fallin' in 1916

I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean

 Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?

Did they beat the drum slowly?

Did they play the fife lowly?

Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?

Did the band play the post and chorus?

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind?

In some faithful heart is your memory in shrine?

And though you died back in 1916

In that faithful heart you're forever 19

Or are you a stranger without even a name?

Enclosed  forever behind a glass pane

In an old photograph, torn and battered and stained

And faded to yellow in a brown yellow frame

Now Willie McBride, I can't help wondering why

Do those who lie here know why they died?

Did they really believe when they answered the cause?

Did they really believe that this war would end wars?

But the sorrow, the sufferin', the glory, the pain

The killing and dying were all done in vain

But, Willie McBride, it all happened again, and again

and again, and again, and again

Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

So, obviously, this isn't my song. I found this cover done by my favorite band, Celtic Thunder. I had no idea they did this song and I have listened to nothing else!!!!

I SAW BRETT YOUNG IN CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys!!!!


(Note: this post was supposed to go up yesterday but due to helping my sister move Sunday and yesterday, I ran out of time yesterday to write and post this. Sorry!)


As you can probably guess from the title, I saw Brett Young in concert! *excited squeal*

There's a festival in my town that is near Fourth of July weekend. The town invites one or two country artists to come and perform.

This year one of them was Brett Young. If you have no idea who Brett Young is, here is his latest single.

I'm literally obsessed with this song and when he started to sing it, I almost cried.


He is so funny, by the way, all the stories he was telling before he would perform the songs were sooooo funny!!! I was cracking up.

St. Cecilia Patroness of Musicians

Hey y'all!!


Today is the feast day of St. Cecilia. She is one of my patron saints so I thought I would make a post about her.



St. Cecilia lived in the early days of the church. On her wedding night, she was praying to her guardian angel and her husband, Valerian, came into the room and saw her angel.

He wanted to know who the angel was so Cecilia told him to go see the pope. Valerian and his brother were received into the Church and were martyred shortly after.

Cecilia was ordered to give up her faith and she refused.

She was imprisoned in her bathhouse which was heated to a very high temperature.

Cecilia was left in the bathhouse for three days. She remained unhurt.

The judge ordered her to be beheaded. The executioner struck her three times and her head was partially severed from her body. She lay on ground for three days and expired on the third day.

St. Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians. Its great that I'm named after her cause I sing a lot. I mean a LOT.

My family has to continually tell me to be quiet cause I keep singing.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment and I'll answer as soon as possible!

Love,

-Lia
