Reflection... from the movie Mulan..

Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my fam'ly's heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

PS.. this is just the part wherein my Filipino fave star (Lea Salonga) sung Reflection in the movie Mulan.

"Vienna"
by Billy Joel
from the album "The Stranger"

Slow down you crazy child,
You're so ambitious for a juvenile,
But then if you're so smart, tell me why
Are you still so afraid? mmmm...

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out.
You got so much to do and only
so many hours in a day. heeeyyy...

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old.
You're gonna kick off
Before you even get halfway through. ooo...

When will you realize
Vienna waits for you?

Slow down you're doing fine.
You can't be everything you wanna be
Before your time,
Although it's so romantic on the
Borderline tonight. Toniiiight.

Too bad but it's the life you lead;
You're so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need.
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see
When you're right. You're riiiight.

You've got your passion,
You've got your pride,
But don't you know that
Only fools are satisfied?
Dream on-
But don't imagine
They'll all come true. ooo..

When will you realize
Vienna waits for you?

Slow down you crazy child.
Take the phone off the hook
And disappear for awhile.
It's alright -
You can afford to lose a day or two. ooo..

When will you realize
Vienna waits for you?

You know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old.
You're gonna kick off
Before you even get halfway through. ooo..

Why don't you realize
Vienna waits for you?

When will you realize
Vienna waits for you?

The song Dreams by Kenny Chesney fits me to a tee. I have the song lyrics on my space because it fits me and what I have felt through my life of my marriage.

This song really means a lot to me. It decribes the real me. The part of me that is so hard to communicate to other people. There so much inside of me that I want people to notice. Sometimes when I cant describe my own inner feelings I turn to a song to help me express how I feel inside. This is the song that has really touched my life. Here are the lyrics.

don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway

Oh tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows that I'm okay
Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

:)

Hi Again Christy,
Love reading your blogs and I am hapy to see you check mine out too! I actually wrote a blog pretainind to this a few days ago. http://spaces.msn.com/members/jenniferkblake/Blog/cns!1p6fI52IJtzGVtm8ExMPpqSg!218.entry

But if I actually had to pick a song thta I thought describes who I am right now it would be Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own by U2. Right now I am fiercly independent, my ex used tell me all the time the song was written for me~ Great song but OUCH! lol

Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
Your telling me and everyone
You’re hard enough

You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I, that’s alright
We’re the same soul
I don’t need, I don’t need to hear you say
That if we weren’t so alike
You’d like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I know that we don’t talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I sing
You’re the reason I sing
You’re the reason why the opera is in me

Well hey now
Still got to let you know
A house doesn’t make a home
Don’t leave me here alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I think this song works pretty well!

Well I went to bed in Memphis
And I woke up in Hollywood
I got a quarter in my pocket
And I'd call you if I could
But I don't know why
I gotta fly
I wanna rock and roll this party
I still wanna have some fun
Iwanna leave you feeling breathless
Show you how the west was won
But I gotta fly
I gotta fly

Like Steve McQueen
All I need's a fast machine
And I'm gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonite

I ain't takin' sh** off no one
Baby, that was yesterday
I'm an all American rebel
Makin' my big getaway
Yeah, you know it's time
I gotta fly

Like Steve McQueen
All I need's a fast machine
And I'm gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonite

We got rock stars in the White House
And all our pop stars look like porn
All my heroes hit the highway
'Cause they don't hang out here no more

You can call me on my cell phone
You can page me all night long
But you won't catch this free bird
I'll already be long gone

Like Steve McQueen
All we need¹s a fast machine
And we're gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
All we need's a fast machine
And we're gonna ride it, all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonite

Weapon Of Vanity by Soilwork. (One of my favorite songs. More so from the singers point of view)

They play divine as immortal sons
Pulling triggers and then they switch and run
As long as you have nothing to add,
they run the show..
How? Can you get a single shot
with a life like that
So now, will you ever conclude
as it turns to a lack?
Deceivement, believe it...- can you feel it flow?

-As a weapon of your vanity
They crave for a soulaching desire
(won't you play with me..)
As time's standing still, they've praised a liar

So now... -let me get a minute of your precious time
So how... -do you feel now as the vanity
is easy to find?
Deceivement, believe it... - can you feel it grow?

They crave for a soulaching desire
(won't you play with me..)
As time's standing still, they've praised a liar

I swear, you're nothing like me
And it will never set you free
You won't be able to be down there alone
They fill you up til' you're ripped and torn
Your life is out there for disposal
Knocked out, before you're ready to leave
Cause I swear, you're nothing like me!

-As I reckon your insanity
They crave for a soulaching desire
(won't you play with me..)
As time's standing still, they've praised a liar

They crave for a soulaching desire
(won't you stay with me..)
As time's standing still, they've praised a liar

hmmm...that's a hard one.... ummm... have to be something rock. let me think!!!
I'm thinking MAtchbox Twenty 'Unwell' Dont ask me why it's just what I came to.

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I’m headed for a breakdown
And I don’t know why

[chorus]

But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
I know right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me

I’m talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they’ve all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I’ve lost my mind

[chorus]

But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
I know right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I’ve been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they’ll come to get me
Yeah, they’re taking me away

[chorus]

But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
I know right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I’m just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I’m just a little unwell

Well, the song that plays on my space says it best. Crazy By simple plan! Y/ I think the lyrics say it all! Peace


Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look, I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They won't stop till they've reached their dreams

Diet pills, surgery
Photoshopped pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it's World War III

No one cares, no one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
And money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUVs
While kids are starving in the streets

No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life's unfair

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something, something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

well this comment has to pretain to your song question, you're probably in the process of fixing this, but the link doesn't seem to be working. Anyway, the song to describe my life would have to be R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" because when life is just unrelentlessly beating down, I know that I am not alone. babble

The song: Anybody Seen My Girl by Keb Mo. My old boyfriend burned it on a CD for me to play while I was on the road. Just like me, come and go.

p.s.
I love that link you sent me. Laughed my butt off...."what is this? Mad Libs?" lol Thanks!
