I am starting something new on my blog! In addition to our dogs, traveling, and other
assorted ramblings, I am going to post lyrics to songs that are meaningful to
me in some way.
Why? Because music is magic.
Music can alter your mood and transport you to places near
and far, past and future. Music has
played a big role in my life and it continues to inspire me, console me, and
entertain me. I love all kinds of music,
but there is one genre particularly close to my heart, which will come as no
surprise.
I listen to a lot of Disney music. A LOT.
Of the 43 playlists currently on my phone, 30 of them are Disney
music. It is easy for – to borrow a word
from J. K. Rowling – muggles to dismiss this music as childish and trivial (admittedly,
some of it is, but I see nothing wrong with that!). However, I think that many of the songs send
powerful messages about hope and resilience and believing in great things, and I
make it a point to avoid negativity whenever possible, so I love them. Forget glass-half-full…I think the glass is
overflowing and we should remember that.
Not all of the lyrics will be from Disney songs, but I
suspect many will. I will note the
songwriter/performer whenever possible and tell you where the song is
from. At times, I may make a comment or
two about why I chose the song; other times, I will let you interpret the words
as you see fit. Some may be serious,
some may be silly…but I hope you will enjoy them either way. I will be calling these posts “Lovely Lyrics”
and aim to write one each week.
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician.
I often think in music.
I live my daydreams in music.
I see my life in terms of
music.”
Happy Tails to you!
