Everybody Drives It Through - Stories on the Route: Laughter and Tears in Every Stop

Life on the road isn’t always smooth, but it’s filled with moments of warmth, laughter, and connection that make the journey worthwhile.

This parody mirrors the twists and turns of the daily grind, highlighting the human stories that unfold with every stop. It's not just about getting from A to B; it’s about the people you meet along the way, the laughs shared, and the light that shines through, even on the toughest days. Everybody Makes It Through (In the Light) [Rough Mix]: Original by Led Zeppelin Lyrics (Verse 1) Sunshine brings laughter, Rain clouds slow me down, I know the route I’m after, With every turn, I feel the ground.

This Is Halloween Behind the Lyrics: The Haunting Inspirations of 'This Is Halloween' and why 'This Is Halloween' Became a Cult Anthem Beyond the Movie. The Original "This Is Halloween" is a beloved song from the 1993 stop-motion animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas , produced by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick.
