Vanessa Carlton – Home Lyrics	11 years ago
I used to listen to Vanessa Carlton's songs a lot. This one brought the most feelings for me. Especially now when being stuck in a world where people are just trying to find a meaning and find a place for themselves, I would have to say my 'Home' is not of this busy and scattered world.

Idina Menzel – Let It Go Lyrics

11 years ago

Definitely one of the best Disney songs hands down. Same goes for the movie itself. I'm glad they're making a comeback of having meaningful movies, that may even be more complex than it ever was before. And I say this while growing up watching Disney Classics. I feel like this can relate to just about anyone, especially if one has dealt with isolation due to mental illness or if they feel they're being rejected by their peers. I'm one of them. "Don’t let them in, don’t let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know Well, now they know" Pretty much sums up when I realized what I actually got myself into for the sake of other people's gain. I didn't even realize it until it was happening and the very people who tried to make it seem like what was good for my sake went against me when I 'changed' and realized this. What I also love about the movie itself that it isn't all stereotypical about the princes and princesses and that true love only comes romantically (or 'the kiss') like how they first gave as the impression of it. In the end, love comes in all forms that may even be more selfless than the romantic love itself. Many people try finding that love romantically and think that's all there is.

Sara Bareilles – Brave Lyrics

11 years ago

Words are powerful and we can either be the friend or foe of someone else with them. We can use them to build someone up as well as ourselves or knock down the person and bring ourselves down in the process. Brave is pretty much saying that we can use words for either or not use them at all and someone suffers in silence as the result. It has powerful effects no matter which angle you see it under and probably is a reference with bullying which is such a common problem today. What lines struck the most with me was: "Innocence, your history of silence Won’t do you any good Did you think it would?" My personal input on that is the fact that I've been a victim and all I did was stay quiet, not even to reach out to anyone while it was happening and why I fell into a depression to begin with. Therefore, people just thought I was shy and innocent and in turn took a nice advantage for it to affect the way it did and hard to be taken seriously if I finally ever were to share anything. It's about reaching out and sharing your thoughts and it can possibly save many other people's lives as well as your own let alone the mental and emotional scars and pain one has to endure. For those who are being bullied I just have to say this - there may be a nice amount of people who are inflicting their pain (which is why many bully in the first place - they are in pain themselves) and giving their hate onto you even if you didn't do anything, but especially now that we have the advantage with the Internet and whatnot, it's guaranteed that there's a whole lot more people out there who relate and want to know you based on your experience alone and even those who are not far from your reach in real life that love you more than you think. It can save your life. The world is a big place, you don't have to suffer alone. Say something. Be Brave.

Fleetwood Mac – Landslide Lyrics

11 years ago

"I took my love, I took it down Climbed a mountain and I turned around" Can be about a person that you love or even anything like your passion/goals and how you progressed with it along the way. Explains "Climbed a mountain" and then they look back at it "and I turned around". "And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills 'Til the landslide brought it down" What they identified themselves within the situation that lead them to where they were standing, hence the reflection. Pretty much looking back and seeing the person they've been until that point, landslide bringing that being down and erasing the reflection. "Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?" I love this bit because some may interpret it on a spiritual being of what they ultimately have to do based on the life changing decision. Or more that it's the subconscious of themselves reflecting onto them and if the decision they are making is out of Love for the change in itself and if they should listen to that subconcious. The "right thing" to do. "Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?" Child being the person that they've had themselves stay for a long amount of time and the change is going to develop them into a changed "adult". A child's perspective and the adult perspective has huge changes on just about everything and that's how much the change in itself may present to them. Ocean tides and seasons reflect on this change and that it's going to be hard for them to turn into this "adult". "Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you" Pretty much says in itself, building one's life around the other person or thing and now that there needs to be a change from this, of course it's going to make them fearful and they can't avoid this fact anymore. "But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I'm getting older too And I'm getting older too" Pretty much sums up what I've said above from changing to a kid into an adult, metaphorically speaking. They're growing to make this change to begin with and the process has to continue for them to grow into what's going to build them up for based on the decision. "Oh, take my love, take it down Climb a mountain and turn around And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills Well the landslide will bring it down And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills Well the landslide will bring it down The landslide will bring it down" If anyone or that said person sees them in the light that they've always seen them, the landslide is bringing it down. Saying that they don't want them to see that person as to who they were while they climbed that mountain because it's coming down and they're going to climb elsewhere. See them in their present form and move on. Pretty much the song's about changes and decisions that reflect it, making them mature along the way. Obviously that's why Stevie Nicks made this song because it was about change that affected her, the environment she was going to set herself into and others around her. She couldn't be the person who she was up until then.

Katy Perry – Roar Lyrics	12 years ago
I never really paid much attention to Katy and this is the first song that recently came out that I actually bothered to listen to. If only the music video was a little better suited rather than being out in the middle of a jungle and decide to take pictures on your phone. >.>

Newsong – The Christmas Shoes Lyrics

12 years ago

Some strange reason, I was thinking about this song and then the movie that was made based off of it (tear jerker, especially in some scenes every time I watch it. I recommend to watch it if you haven't since I don't want to spoil it). It's in the middle of June too. A lot of people think that since the song's based off of someone's mother being ill that the fact it took for the mother to be ill and dying, to have a son wanting to get a present was what it took for the person to help learn something from it. That could bring truth since technically it did happen, but really I think the message could imply since with all the sadness and things that happen such as this, people sometimes forget that because of them wanting more or tend to themselves for their own wants they don't realize they have things that other people struggle through to survive with and have the misfortune of these events happening to them. "God had sent that little boy to remind me", reminding for what every human being should have and humble themselves when seeing someone going through a crisis that unfortunately does happen either way that we should help whenever there's an opportunity to help lighten the burden on the victim and make it less tough of a place to be while having things happen in our lives. It can happen all year around and not just at Christmas time, and really they say Christmas because of Christian-based belief they have around that time and pretty much do what the person/God they look up to would. The man happened to be there and learned that they should see the light from someone else even if they're not the ones going through such a time and as said it could make the world a less tough of a place with others concern and help even if you don't know them. It doesn't have to mean that it's all a Christian thing or that it all has to be from God, some like the person who made this song would think it is and you can be an atheist and just learn this moral too even if nobody else to give that credit to or whatever. But this is my opinion and maybe I am looking too much into it, but that's sort of what I learned after many times of listening to the song. And recommended to watch the movie to maybe see where I can also come from with this. :)
