Guys!!!
Who hasn't seen this movie?
If you're a music lover like me, I'm telling ya now, you need to experience this movie.
If you have been through life battered, bruised, battling through acceptance from others and self, and still here to tell the tale.. Make sure you have a box of tissues next to you when you watch it.
I found this movie on Foxtel late the other night and I just had to put it on. For no other reason than it was a Hugh Jackson movie and that boy has never let me down so I was keen. I realised it was a musical the 2nd song in.
I honestly didnt know what to expect as I live in a bubble most of the time, but I didnt I know I was going to be in bed at 1am in the morning next to a sleeping Hubby trying to keep my sobbing down.
This movie was really intense for me and brought up so many emotions.
Perhaps it's because Venus is in retrograde from now until mid November and that means relationships are in focus that this movie reduced me to pieces.
I could relate to each song on such a personal level and then those harmonies, lyrics, music.. everything!!
I could go on and talk about the movie and all that but I wont spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. Instead I hope to entice people with the soundtrack.
Check out Keale killing "This Is Me".
I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
and I know that I deserve your love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) 'cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is proof
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out
Oh
This is me

Right here guys. The soundtrack.. Thank you Atlantic Records!
Seriously, every song is brilliant. Another fave of mine is "Never Enough" - that's another tear jerker.
If you're already familiar and have been obsessed far longer than I have been well have you seen this from the amazing Todrick Hall??
I can't rave about this movie enough. I have seen it every day since I first watched it and I'm getting geared up to watch it now. Not only is the soundtrack amazing, it's visually spectacular too but don't just take my word for it. Go and see it for yourself.
Happy Friday Steemit!
