Day 1: A Song

I Stand
by Idina Menzel
www.youtube.com/user/idinamenzel
Lyrics
When you ask me, who I am…
What is my vision? And do I have a plan?
Where is my strength? Have I nothing to say?
I hear the words in my head, but I push them away.

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love till it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
I stand for the strange and lonely,
I believe there’s a better place.
I don’t know if the sky is heaven,
But I pray anyway.

And I don’t know
What tomorrow brings
The road less traveled 
will it set us free?
Cause we are taking it slow,
these tiny legacies.
I don’t try and change the world;
But what will you make of me?

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love till it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
I stand for the strange and lonely,
I believe there’s a better place.
I don’t know if the sky is heaven,
But I pray anyway.

With the slightest of breezes
We fall just like leaves
As the rain washes us from the ground
We forget who we are
We can‘t see in the dark
And we quickly get lost in the crowd

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love till it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love till it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
I stand for the strange and lonely,
I believe there’s a better place.
I don’t know if the sky is heaven,
But I pray anyway.
When I first found out that Idina Menzel had a solo album, I nearly peed myself. That woman is a goddess in my eyes; she's literally been involved in my life since I was a little girl. I can remember listening to my dad's RENT album on Christmas Day (mom got it for him as a gift) and listening to it to and from ballet class. She was the world's first Elphaba, and the reason I decided one day, no matter what, it would be AMAZING to defy gravity and become Elphaba. (Heck, if art doesn't work for me, I might go into music. X3)

Out of all the songs on her album, this one moves me beyond words. It's powerful, it's moving, and inspiring. It helped me finally get out of that anxiety funk I've been in for god knows how long. And it applies to everything I love - from my fandoms to my real life. And it makes me want to sing my heart out. <3

Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson

It is a very sad day for the music world. Michael Jackson has died from sudden cardiac arrest. He's been in poor health for some time now, but his death was very sudden and entirely unexpected.

He may have had problems, but when it comes down to it, he was a wonderful singer who gave life to some of the greatest songs ever heard, like "Thriller", "Billy Jean", and so many others.

Rest in peace, Mr. Thriller Man. <3
