Michael Buble 'To Be Loved' Album Review

Michael Buble's latest album, 'To Be Loved' is another good one.

 

 The album includes 4 original songs by Michael. I'm split on these 4. I really like 2 of them, and the other 2, for me, are just so so. My favorite of the 4 is 'It's a Beautiful Day'. I really like it. It has an upbeat, splash of cool water on a bright sunny day kind of sound. This will be a song that I'll add to my 'Monday Morning' playlist.

The other songs on the album are classics which Buble has put his own touch on. He gives them all a new sound with his classically smooth voice. His sound just seems to make you feel good, and you can't help but smile while listening. Some of my favorites include, 'Young at Heart', 'Come Dance with Me' and 'You've Got a Friend in Me'. Of course, the latter one may have your kids screaming to watch a certain movie about toys, but a small sacrifice to make for a good piece of music.

I have to admit I didn't love every song on the album, but then I wouldn't call myself a fan of Michael Buble. However, the majority of the songs are really good. If you're looking for some new dinner party music, or some new relaxing by the pool tunes, then the album is worth the purchase. If you're already a fan of Buble, then I'm sure you'll love this album just as much as his previous 6. It is of consistent quality; smooth feel good songs in the classic songwriter standard.

Oh No! My Tongue is Black!

"Holy heck! what is wrong with my tongue?! It's black! Oh my gosh! What's wrong with me?!"

That was me this morning, when I woke up with a tongue that was completely BLACK! I mean blackest of night black! So, I'm thinking I brushed my teeth before I went to bed, how did this happen? Was I raiding the pantry in my sleep? (That could certainly explain the extra pounds on me.) How long have I been doing this? What else am I doing in my sleep? Oh crap...sometimes, I sleep naked! AAAAAAGH!

I ran to check the pantry, no food missing...phew, crisis avoided! But...what the hell is wrong with me?! My tongue is still black! ♪once you go black you never go back♪ (Gin Wigmore)  Oh no! It's going to be this way forever!

I did the only thing I could do in this emergency situation...

I asked the smartest person I know...GOOGLE!

Google, why did I wake up with a black tongue?

As always, Google knows all...Google had the answer.

I'm not dying...I don't need a doctor...I'm not eating in my sleep (damn! no excuses for not losing the weight!) I don't have some strange exotic disease...

the cause of my black tongue in the morning...Pepto Bismol.

Apparently, the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol can cause a black tongue, and I hadn't taken 2 chewables after dinner yesterday. So that explains it...2 little pink pills make people wake up with a black tongue.

Hmmm Who knew?! Weird.
