Songs that speak to you.....

[DQ]

..... well Diva and Shazza finally got their way and I am listening to Mary J Blige, Reflections!!

Favourite song at the moment is MJB Da MVP because it is a song of a survivor, and I intend to mirror that - this year I am gonna survive it all and make it to where I wanna be!!

So what song is speaking to you today and filling your soul?

Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes. I used it in class this morning and I find it very motivational. It's the song I was listening to when I decided to train as a fitness instructor. Some of the lyrics, if you don't know the song:

change everything you are
and everything you were
your number has been called

you've got to be the best
you've got to change the world
and use this chance to be heard
your time is now

don't let yourself down
don't let yourself go
your last chance has arrived

Oh beyond anyshadow of a doubt my favourite and most listened to song is by R Kelly - I believe I can fly, here are some lyrics.

Some wonderful friends of mine engraved a couple of the lines on a mirror when I moved the business out of the home and into our office, it hangs in our meeting room at work! The lines in red and the ones engraved on my mirror!

R KELLY LYRICS

"I Believe I Can Fly"

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

Star Star **
Star star teach me how to shine shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind
'Cause I don't understand these people
Who say the hill's to steep
Well they talk and talk forever
But they just never climb
Falling down into situations
Bringing out the best in you
You're flat on your back again
And star you're ever word I'm heeding
Can you help me to see
I'm lost in the marsh Star star teach me how to shine shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind
'Cause I don't understand these people
Who say we're all asleep
They'll toss and turn forever
But no rest will they find...#

Wow....there are way too many to mention!! However, particular favourites are:

When running self development workshops, I usually play Breakthrough by Mary J Blige as the attendees walk in. It has FANTASTIC lyrics....not gonna type them all out but here's a snippet:

"Ain't no telling what you're going through
but we're gonna break through and take you
take you where it feels soooo good!"

Also love Let it Flow by Toni Braxton which is about letting go and just riding the wave of change.....love this one soooo much!

Loads, loads more......and yes I Believe I Can Fly is also on that list!!!

Love that Toni Braxton song - love LOADS of Toni Braxton songs, and wouldn't mind looking that fine either

I’ve been doing writing a music arrangement of The Wheels on the Bus today. Can’t say that it spoke to me, but I got a great workout doing the actions.

The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town.
Roll hands over each other

The wipers on the bus go "Swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish"
The wipers on the bus go "Swish, swish, swish"
All through the town.
Put arms together in front of you and
'swish' like windshield wipers

The door on the bus goes open and shut
Open and shut, open and shut
The door on the bus goes open and shut
All through the town.
Play peekaboo with hands over eyes

The horn on the bus goes "Beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep"
The horn on the bus goes "Beep, beep, beep"
All through the town.
Pretend to honk horn

The diesel on the bus goes "Glug, glug, glug
Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, glug"
The gas on the bus goes "Glug, glug, glug"
All through the town.
Pretend to fill tank using pointer finger as petrol nozzle. It is advisable not to use a real bus for this action. Stinky stinky

The money on the bus goes "Clink, clink, clink,
Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink"
The money on the bus goes "Clink, clink, clink"
All through the town.
Put all lose change in money box and send to Karion Dieting PO Box 248

The baby on the bus says, "Boo hoo hoo!
Boo hoo hoo, Boo hoo hoo
The baby on the bus says, "Boo hoo hoo!
All through the town.
Fisted hands in front of eyes and rub them like baby crying. Please don’t cry! It’s a happy song. Neither should you shout at the baby. It’s hardly his fault you’ve just had a free fight with the bus driver!

The people on the bus say, "Shh, shh, shh,
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh"
The people on the bus say, "Shh, shh, shh"
All through the town.
See what’s happened now. Told you not to shout!

The mommy on the bus says, "I love you,
I love you, I love you"
The daddy on the bus says, "I love you, too"
All through the town.
Okay…so you love baby now as he’s stopped crying. OH has made up and apologised. Peace and love to all.

The drunk on the bus goes bleh cough bleh
Bleh cough bleh
Bleh cough bleh
The drunk on the bus goes bleh cough bleh
All through the town.
You’ve found the spare bottle under the seat haven’t you.

The hooker on the bus goes fifty quid
Fifty quid
Fifty quid
The hooker on the bus goes fifty quid
For me to go down
Get up!!! You’ve got a baby to look after!! Tut

So did that speak to you?

 

[DQ]

No, but I do love a rousing rendition of 'Wind the Bobbin Up'

 

[KD]

No, but I do love a rousing rendition of 'Wind the Bobbin Up'

Oh yes!!! Specially the pull pull bit.

Are you sure it didn't speak to you. Not even the bit about the drunk

 

[DQ]

Sorry!!! Although I guess I could try singing it all over again and see....
