What’s that song in the Indeed commercial? Answers here!

I happened to catch an Indeed commercial that had a song I liked. Take a look!

The song is called “Unbreakable” by BNGRS featuring Rachel Marquis. Here is the full track.

The song builds and has such an encouraging vibe. I love it! Kudos to Indeed to incorporating it into their ad, which fits perfectly with what Indeed provides.

More info about the song and band is below:

Composers, Writers: Owen Thomas, Natalie Slade, Mischa Mandel. According to their website, BNGRS is “A collective of artists and producers in LA, BNGRS is dead set on making epic, anthemic music that elevates and awakens.”

The song also reminded me of another one that has encouraged me in the past. It comes from a kid’s movie, but don’t judge it till you hear it! 🙂

Can anyone guess which movie soundtrack features this song? Comment below with your guess!

Dude, what’s that song in the Dell commercial? Answers here!

Dell has continued to take time and effort on making memorable ads. Sometimes it’s from a catchphrase like, “Dude, you’re getting a Dell…”

Whoa, is fist bumping really 20 years old? Methinks we need to move on from that. Anywho… other times Dell uses catchy music, like this ad I wrote about.

Well, Dell is back with another soundtrack song… a song that probably compelled you to find this blog post in the first place! You might think the woman singing is Sia, it does sound a lot like Sia. Check out the ad…

Still think it’s Sia? Well, you are NOT correct! The song is “Rabbit Hole” by Why Mona.

Why Mona is a duo featuring the voice of Joanna Jones.

You can find the band’s Instagram by clicking here.

She totally got me with this one! Thoughts on “The 1” by Taylor Swift.

It’s one of those songs that make you think of that old cliche´, the one that got away. I was sorta blindsided by this one from Taylor Swift, actually. I still think of her as the breakthrough country artist singing “Tim McGraw” but it’s clear she’s felt some adult-level heartbreak/regret if you listen to the lyrics… 

Can you relate to this song? Like I said, it came on the radio as I was driving down 8th Avenue in Nashville and I was drawn in by the repetition of the piano. I also couldn’t help but think, “Dang, Taylor, ya got me with this one!” I’m sorry she’s had to feel these things about a lost love, but it DOES make for some good music 🙂 Here are a few songs that have stabbed me right in my heart over the years, music inspired by the one that got away. 

U2 “So Cruel” (I have another post about this one)

Muse “Guiding Light” 

Elton John “Can’t Stay Alone Tonight”

Brandi Carlile “The Story” 

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals “Stars” 

Those are just a few! Do you have certain songs that are a page out of your own diary? If so, which ones? Comment below to share your story. For more break-up music, check out my 2021 list of break-up songs.

I have never paid for a coronavirus face mask

There is at least one thing I love about living in the United States. The free market and capitalism. The challenge for people and companies to make money means consumers get great products, that keep getting better, and competition, which means low (or at least, competitive) prices.

One area that saw a boom in the free market is face masks.

Think about life before 2020, did you see any masks for sale anywhere? Nope! Maybe some hospital masks tucked away in a random aisle at Walgreens, but even then I bet there were a couple of boxes at most. In the height of the pandemic, there were all sorts of masks with all sorts of designs in all sorts of stores. People saw an opportunity to cash in on the demand for masks, and that’s awesome!

Somewhere along the 2020 timeline, though, I decided to see how long I could go without buying a mask. I’m not sure why I set that goal for myself. Call it a weird challenge or just me being frugal, but I didn’t see the point of buying a mask when it wasn’t too difficult to get them for free around town. Plus, I saw the masks as a temporary thing on which I didn’t want to waste money.

With that said, I do have this mask, which I bought years ago to help with allergies as I mowed the grass or worked in the yard. So, I guess, technically I HAVE bought a mask, but never once did I buy one specifically for the COVID scamdemic, nor did I buy one in 2020 at all.

Is that a “win”? I don’t know. I’d like to think I set higher goals for my life than this but at the same time I am very competitive… so yeah, I totally won. 🙂
