Every tuesday and thursday is(are) a different song(s) and I give a reason to my new songs. Music brings an emotion to me that nothing else can, so that is why I write about it.
I'm doing this song out of the spirit of the holidays. This song has been recorded by a lot of people, but this is one of the versions I've heard a lot.
I will put up a few videos of different people, just so you get how differently people do this song, but also how similarly they also are.
Orianthi is an Australian-American guitarist that really made her fame when she was scheduled as Michael Jackson's guitarist in his tour that he never got to do, but that's not the only reason why she's famous, she did a lot of interviews for guitar magazines, and became a singer, afterward.
I remember looking over my dad's shoulder and seeing ads and interviews with her in his magazines, but I had no comment, I honestly didn't know what to say, because I didn't really know who she was.
When this song came up on Pandora, I was about to skip it, when it wouldn't let me, so I just listened to it and I ended up thumbs upping it.
I like this song because it's one of those empowerment songs that just makes you (or the listener) feel like you don't need people who put you down, because you are ultimately lovely the way you are and maybe someone doesn't see it, well that's just because that person has insecurities of his/her own and doesn't want to face them, so they project it onto you. In a relationship, people need that other person to be complementing not someone who's projecting their own insecurities. Sometimes, I listen to this because I need that reassurance from something other than my friends and family.
Today I have multiple songs that I want to do, because they're all running through my head.
First: Snow (Hey Oh) by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I didn't hear this song up until a few weeks ago when I was listening to Pandora and at first I skipped through it, but then it played again a week later and I actually listened to it and couldn't stop singing along, so I thumbs upped it.
Second: Island in the Sun by Weezer. I don't like Weezer at all, I just like this song, because of the places I've heard it played, like various movies although I can't name a few of them off the top of my head.
Third: Free Falling by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. I love this song because of the second line in the second verse... "she's crazy 'bout elvis"... :)
Fourth: Country Girl (Shake it for Me) by Luke Bryan. I don't usually like country from now a days because it's become what my father and I call 'pop country', but I heard this song on Pandora and I started to dance.
Fifth: Tell Me Baby by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. :)
Sixth, seventh and eighth: Save Tonight by Eagle-Eye Cherry, Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye, and I'll Make a Man Out of You from Mulan. :)
Yes. The song is from Mulan. I chose today to satisfy my inner child and do a song that I grew up singing along to. When I was little, I loved this movie and would watch it over and over again, but nowadays I rarely watch it anymore.
