...yes, freedom, and please repeat with me, as loud as you can:
Did you do that? As loud as you could? Even if your partner, family members, neighbors, cat, or dog would strangely look at you, it IS worthy to do that. You could always blame me, say it this was the fault of that M I piano something user from that HIVE thingy, and go free with your story and freedom to express it. And before you think that this is one more great post in the row that will fight for different kinds of freedoms, let me disappoint you: this is not going in that direction now. Is it selfish, to advocate now another kind of feeling of freedom?? Maybe it is, but, grab some candies and make your next 10-15 minutes of life sweeter. Celebrate with me the next two weeks of freedom from work? I know, teachers can relate to this very well! :)
Warning: This will NOT be a rant or tips (for beginners, intermediate or advanced level readers) how to survive a teacher that has vacations under the same roof {I am sure, this will come from those who share with me the home}... This will be just repeating through some songs the word...you guess... freedom :)
As the very first association to this nice word that can change moods and lift spirits, George Michael and the song Freedom! '90 came to my mind. Who doesn't remember this legendary video, where a whole set of famous supermodels played on the screen? Reading the lyrics from the lips of Linda Evangelista, attractively walk and dance with Naomi Campbell, walk like an angel with Christy Turlington... Cindy Crawford taking a hot bath and enjoying it... burning jackets and exploding jukebox and guitars... We need some colder stuff to cool down, but let us take these lies and make them true somehow. Enjoy this freedom song for the full time of 6:35! If too short, repeat.
If we move to a bit more serious topic, celebrating the freedom and equality of all the people in the world, Pharrell Williams is our man to sing with him: Freedom! The song was released on June 30, 2015 (ow, exactly five years before my free hive journey started ;) ). The groove is firm and the melody where the lyrics are expressed grows in intensity quickly. We can repeat and repeat, even we can scream or say calmly the words and take it as a mantra, or prayer, whatever we choose. Loved the part:
Mind, use your power, Spirit, use your wings.
Well, well, well, Django Unchained can not miss, although we go even deeper into the rights of freedom. This is one of Quentin Tarantino's movies I watched two or three times. Maybe I close sometimes my eyes when too much blood appears, but the movie is worth watching it! The song freedom we are listening to here is composed by Anthony Hamilton and Elayna Boynton. Have you seen the movie and have you liked it? What about this song? ;) Let us unchain ourselves and enjoy this one:
But you know, as I said in the beginning, this post has another purpose. Feeling GOOD! Moving our minds and bodies! Feel freedom! Be a bit silly and consume lollipops. {do your own research are candies good for your health}. I have to be honest and confess, I did have one (similar to the pink one that we see in the cover photo, which was made in canva) while writing this post! A so sweet song (at least for me) is this next one I have chosen to be the last selection, as it exactly represents how do I feel right now! If you asked me yesterday how I was, the opposite would come as an answer from me. Maybe tomorrow it will not be the same. But do you see all the colors in this video? That's the color of the glasses I want to wear for the next two weeks! If I take them off, please, remind me to come back to this video and watch it again, and again and again, like I am doing it right now! However, I promise, some more serious posts will come too!
