Song Lyric Sunday – Birth, Death, Life: “The Fifth of July” by Owl City

Happy Sunday lovely humans. This week’s Song Lyric Sunday prompt is “birth, death, life,” so I immediately thought of this sweet song from Owl City’s 2018 Cinematic album.

Fangirl Friday: some albums and new releases I’ve been loving 🎧✨😻

A few different blog sites had this tag going around called Fangirl Friday where they basically had complete freedom to gush about whatever they were fangirling over.

Song Lyric Sunday: “Best Part” by H.E.R. + Daniel Caesar

Enjoy!
