Music

Again, for Humanities class we had to do a project. This time with music. (well, okay I wouldn't call it a PROJECT, but whatever) Anyway. We had to pick three songs and decide if they were appropriate according to certain criteria. I didn't know what songs to pick, because I really haven't listened to a lot of music lately. As much as I really love music, I don't make it a priority to listen to it or find new songs. So I just opened my itunes and picked a random song to listen to and look up the lyrics for. It just so happened to be "Happy Girl" by Martina McBride. (in case you are wondering, i LOVE her!) As I was listening to it and reading the lyrics, I thought it was crazy how much I really connected with the song. Especially the part about going to parties and just standing in the corner. That whole verse was ME! That used to be exactly how I was. And I really wasn't a very happy person then. But now that I am changing a little bit from that I am MUCH happier! Anyway, I don't really know how to add a song to this post...so I'll just post the lyrics. You can look up the actual song yourself :) enjoy!

I used to live in a darkened room
Had a face of stone
And a heart of gloom
Lost my hope, I was so far gone
all my tears
With the curtains drawn
I didn't know until my soul broke free
I've got these angels watching over me, yeah

Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl

I used to hide in a party crowd
Bottled up inside
Feeling so left out
Standing in a corner wearing concrete shoes
With my frozen smile
And my lighted fuse
Now everytime i start to feel like that
I roll my heart out like a welcome mat

Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl

Laugh when i feel like it
Cry when i feel like it
That's just how my life is
That's how it goes

Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
And i've come to know
That the world won't change
Just 'cause I complain
Let the axis twirl
I'm a happy girl

Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl

Oh,yeah oh,yeah
I'm a happy girl
