Pretending ♪♫ - Lea Michele and Cory Monteith

Hey guys :-) Hope you had a good week and I wish you all a good start to another week! Today's song is a song by two members of the cast of Glee and I'm guessing most of you are already thinking... Oh geez! Where is she going with this?!! Don't worry, I'm not fussy over the program but I have to be honest, I like their taste in music!

This song expresses an emotion which many people find so hard to express ... being honest with one another, telling the truth even when it hurts, not being afraid to show how you really feel about something or someone ... Let's face it, how many of us are always honest, always truthful and never afraid to show their real feelings?? Yeah, I thought so =P.

See, the thing is, our world is already characterized by so much hurt, pain, sorrow that sometimes it's very hard to keep track of all the beautiful things surrounding us and, unfortunately, we ignore most of the beauty around us. Some people say, 'be the change you want to see in the world' and that starts by appreciating better what you have right now. Life is too short to spend your life dwelling on what went wrong and holding on to things that you should have let go a long time ago. Give it a try, it's not difficult to pass a compliment once in a while, or being honest with someone about something that's bothering you or maybe you cannot live without. 

'... and it's such a shame cause if you feel this way how am I supposed to know?...'

Stay tuned! :-)

How far I’ll go ♪♫ – Alessia Cara

Hey guys... today’s song is inspired once again by Disney. This time, the new animated movie Moana. I haven’t had the time to actually sit down and watch the movie yet due to my busy and hectic life (which I plan on doing some time soon!) however I have heard this song about a hundred times already.

This song is about going the distance and defying all odds to be the person you were born to be.. but let’s face it, the hardest thing to do in life is being yourself especially when the people around you tell you who you should be.. and that makes you feel like the odd one out. From my personal experience I can say that being yourself is tough but at the end of day it’s worth it. It’s probably the hardest thing in this world but if you believe in yourself enough you will get there.

Think again, how many times have you actually fallen in love with something but then don’t buy it because people say that it’s not in fashion? How many times have you gone out to eat and longed to eat your favourite plate which you’ve been preparing your stomach for and then end up eating something else because all your friends choose the same thing and you don’t want to be different to avoid all the looks?

Being yourself is tough, but it’s the only thing that keeps you happy and warm at night!

Stay tuned! :-)

Beauty and the Beast ♪♫ – Ariana Grande & John Legend

So today I was inspired by one of the latest released songs – Beauty and the Beast – as interpreted by Ariana Grande and John Legend. At the moment, everyone is currently caught up in the hype of the latest movie, Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. Emma has always been a role model to me, especially since I grew up in the wonderful, magical world of Harry Potter, which defined me for most of my life!

So here’s the thing, today’s world has unfortunately been characterized so much by cruelty, wars, injustice and so on that it’s become almost impossible to see the beauty of this world around us. And it’s become even more difficult to find people who actually appreciate what they have right in front of them. Beauty and the Beast isn’t just a kids movie or a modern adaptation of that... it’s so much more! And the hardest thing of all is actually finding that one person who can see the beauty inside another person, despite all the odds and obstacles blocking that beauty. Finding that beauty inside a person isn’t as easy as it sounds... you have to go beyond every beast standing in the way of that beauty.. trust, walls, fear, failure... and that is the definition of true love. True love isn’t just finding someone you love and cannot live without. True love comes in all forms and you find it between all sorts of people.. brothers, sisters, cousins, friendship... and if you find that someone who can break down your walls and celebrate your beauty, than you can consider yourself as a lucky person indeed!

Love conquers everything and love is the definition of beauty inside each and every one of us. 

Stay tuned! :-)

Pure Imagination ♪♫ - Josh Groban

So here goes, my first post in this musical journey. It’s only fitting that we begin this journey with the song which inspired me to put up this blog... and, hence, the name of my blog! For many of us, this song reminds us of the fabulous world of Charlie and the chocolate factory – I love chocolate! , and for some, this song is just an association to the fantasy world of kids.

But if you look closely at the lyrics of the song and think... how many people do you know that don’t dream? Everywhere you go, people are constantly dreaming about something. Some dream of one day owning that fabulous car they’ve been saving for their entire life... others dream that one day they will actually find their dream job... others dream of travelling the globe and literally getting in touch with all the wonders of nature... Tell me again, how many people do you know that don’t dream? Yeah... not much of a fantasy world any more now right? ..... thought so! :-)

So here’s the thing... imagination, dreams and creativity are extraordinary vessels designed to transport a person into his/her own world, far away from the real world we live in. But isn’t that the driving force that keeps us sane in this world?

Stay tuned! :-)
