Inspiring songs

First of all I'm so sorry for not posting in two weeks i have just finished my final assessments for this year and have had so many commitments during the last week so haven't had the chance to post.
I have not posted in two weeks! This is just a short post that I had the idea for while listening to Unwritten ( my current favourite song) and realised how most of my favourite songs have inspiring lyrics.



5. Let it go
If you haven't heard of this song by now you must have been living under a rock for the last year( like my dad who heard it for the first time last week) and I know what your thinking Frozen is sooo old and annoying now but apart from having a tune that constantly keeps getting stuck in your head and constantly reminds you of building ice castles.It has a strong message about being true to yourself no matter what other people think and letting go of the past. I'm not obsessed with Frozen but somehow it just keeps making its way into my posts.

4. The climb


Another slightly Disney song which is from the forgotten days of Miley Cyrus when she was best known for playing a teen pop star leading a double live from the movie about being down to Earth and remembering where you come from. This song for some reason always reminds me of assessments and how sometimes I do really well in some subjects and others not so well but is about the broader theme of resilience using a mountain analogy (ok now it sounds like I'm analysing the songs) and that lifes a climb... but the view is great.




3. Roar

I was personally disappointed when Roar didn't win song of the year last year because again this is one of my favorite songs despite the fact that it reminds me of the plague (because my cousin did a parody for school).

There is so much meaning and techniques used in this song ( when I looked it up I found worksheets on analyzing its lyrics) but on a simple level it is simple, relatable and powerful, not to mention catchy.




2. Brave

Earlier this year I was obsessed with this song and would listen to it on repeat several times a day. Why? I think it was because at the moment I always seem to feel insecure when I'm with people about not saying what they want to hear when I listen to this song I feel like it is speaking directly to me.




1. Unwritten

This is my favourite song at the song at the moment I absolutely love it and I don't know why. I first heard it two years ago when they played it at my school for the year 12's final day. It takes a different perspective on how your future is unwritten and you are undefined even by the actions you have done in the past. 


So that's my list! I will try to be posting as often as possible from now on especially since I finish school at the end of next week.

  2. I love inspiring songs! I feel like some of these song writers are able to write such relatable real lyrics, and they go to a catchy tune as well. Sometimes music just warms the soul. Actually, it's words that warm the soul. Anyway, I absolutely love Roar, Brave, because they make you feel as if you can speak up more, and you're significant too, and the Climb. I love how you quoted that cute cowboy from Hannah Montana the movie, although I reckon assessment isn't everything, because the climb towards grades is so not what matters. There's more to life than assessment, and the climb towards nowhere really does matter xx

    1. Thanks M, I agree with you there is just something about inspiring songs, the lyrics and the catchy tunes just seem to work together to create... an inspiring song ( I was trying to think of something clever to write there).. The climb towards nowhere? Sounds particularly cheery but I know what you are saying assessments really don't affect your life and who could forget Travis?
