Song Lyrics

Teacher + Music

Mrs. A

Beatrice

1.       What music or songs reminds you of your childhood?

Songs of the 70’s

High school musical and Hannah Montana.

Mrs. A was probably talking about her teen years and I’m talking about when I was in Elementary School.

2.       Who is your favorite singer or group or song and why?

Barry Manilow, his music speaks to me.

Pentatonix, because they are amazing.

 I don’t know who Barry Manilow is…

3.       What music reminds you of someone you love?

I Hope You Dance reminds me of my boys when they were little.

Songs we sing at church always remind me of my mom.

Mrs. A was driving in her neighborhood and the song I Hope You Dance was on when she saw a boy playing in his front yard the day before he passed away.

4.       Concerts?

Barry Manilow and the Eagles. They were just fantastic productions!

I have been to a Michael Buble concert and Pentatonix.

At the Michael Buble concert and PTX they both sang a song without microphones.

5.       What radio stations do you normally listen to? Do you sing along?

106.7, 104.7, 105.9. I sing along if I am alone. The boys won’t let me if they are in the car.

I don’t really listen to the radio, my car syncs with my ipod. I always sing along, I don’t care who else is in my car.

Mrs. A’s sons should sing along with her.

6.       Which music or artist was “controversial” or “offensive” to someone when you were growing up? Is any music offensive to you now?

Heavy Metal. Some said it had secret satanic messages. Rap music is offensive to me now.

I can’t personally think of an artist that offends me, but people say Meghan Trainor’s music is offensive.

I like the way Meghan Trainor arranges her music, I’m just not a big fan of her lyrics.

7.       Which music or artist do you really dislike or refuse to listen to?

Rap and sometimes country.

I’m not really sure what I don’t like. 

The Sound of Music

3. My music taste over the years has changed a lot. When I was little my mom would always play the little kid songs for me in her car. At the time my mom was a first grade teacher and was use to listening to those songs so we really didn’t listen to anything else. When I got into middle school I went through a country music phase. Then I started getting into musicals and started downloading a lot of show tunes. I liked the pop songs they play on the radio. As party favors my friends and I would always make cd’s for each other.

6. Without music the world would be very awkward. Every store, restaurant or elevator you going into has music playing. They most likely have music playing to fill the awkward silences. Ever been in a car with someone and music wasn’t playing and no one was talking making you feel very uncomfortable? Thank goodness for music getting us out of awkward silences one song at a time.

8. I really admire they music of the Pentatonix, because they are an accapella group. They do covers of songs and make them better. It’s amazing how much work they put into each song. They also write their own songs too. The always start out with the beat and the base and then go from there.

11. Music does have the power to heal. Not only for the listener but also the writer. It helps the writers by having a way to let their feelings out maybe about a brake up and sometimes it gets the person a lot of money. (Shout out to Taylor Swift.)  Say a person is having a bad day and they are driving in their car a song comes on the radio and it just speaks to them. The song has enough emotion as the person listening to it does. Music can also help older people when they are feeling depressed about their age, they can listen to the right song and be taken back to their youth.

14. Music is my escape. There is nothing better than driving, having the music turned up really loud and singing along. Not having to worry about anything. I also like how music can pump you up, turn on the right song with the right beat and your mood can go from zero to 10 in just under three minutes.    

Thanks

      I have this blue striped pillow case that’s made from satin, it came with a sheet set. A family member of mine gave it to me. They were really excited to give it to me and said they had gotten it for a great deal. I thought it was going to be something really cool like an iPod or something Vera Bradley. I got the sheets and I was like oh, they’re sheets, this is a surprise. They looked so happy and you could tell that I was trying to make it look like I was not, not happy. The sheets do not match my room so they are under my bed. I only use them when family comes over and someone sleeps on the futon.

The Finale Polish

The bells jingle as the door closes the last customers of the day heading out. The Old Man wipes down the counter as he looks around the gas station; the isles bear, the soda fountain running on its last bit of coke. The depression hasn’t been too nice, less people were coming in to get soda. People really didn’t buy cars anymore and if they had a car they would sell it for money. Pop’s Shop gas station had been the most popular place in town. Kids would stop in after school for a soda. New customers coming in as they filled up their gas tank. The Old Man couldn’t wait to hear about the new people, where there going and where they have been.   He can still see the kids sitting at the soda bar enjoying a good laugh.

One time a man came in dressed in an all-white suit. The poor guy was the best man at his best friend’s wedding and forgot to pick up the ice. That would have been no big deal if it hadn’t been 98 degrees that day. The Best Man was freaking out he didn’t know how he was going to get the ice in the car and drive it over to the church without the ice melting. The Old Man just smiled the whole time knowing that all the best man needed was a cooler.

The old man walked over to the door gave the gas station a finale look and locked the doors for the last time.    

The Windmill

This is where I spent my summers
Grandma and Grandpas old farm,
I would climb into my castle and rule the farm,
My loyal subjects being the cows and sheep,
A tiara made out of hay was the perfect accessory
The arms of the windmill served as a moat keeping monsters and little brothers away,
 My fairy Grandmother would sound the dinner trumpets
My royal stage coach was green from the designer John Deer
The court chester gave shows of scaring away the crows,
To where the gates end was my kingdom.

The Storm on the Sea of Galilee

There is always calm before the storm.
The sea was still, nothing but endless blue
The sky turned gray, CRACK,
As the thunder starts getting close together the waves pick up,
Crew members soaked in water as each one runs to their station,
Orders being yelled out by the captain,
The ropes are drenched making it difficult to grasp,
The boat sways violently side to side,
Curses and prayers being preached under our breaths
Waves continuing to raise us higher.

Movie Quotes

Movie Goer

My favorite movie is Stardust. I like that it is syfy and that a star is the main lead. The underdog wins. The movie has the right amount of comedy, romance, and action in it.

I’m not really into action movies. I really don’t find them interesting and don’t understand why people like to watch other people hurting each other. I also didn’t like the Hobbit, I left to go to the bathroom 6 times during that movie.

I don’t watch movies to often. I mostly watch movies when I’m with my friends or when I’m at home sick.

Here’s the thing about me, when I watch a movie I end up falling asleep right as the beginning credits roll up and wake up right as the ending credits come on. There for I really need a couch or a bed to watch movies. When I’m with my friends and watching a movie I will stay awake, so I end up just needing popcorn.

If my life were a movie I would want Emma Stone or Anne Hathaway to play me and Julie Walters to play my mom.  One of my main movie point would be my dad passing away, in every good movie (and Disney movie) someone always dies. I would want another main point to be good on a grand vacation. My friends and I would spend a month in Europe and the movie would document all the cool things we did. It would be just like the movie “One Nation Under God”. Another event would be going off to college. Like how MTV has the show the real world. (Is that still eve on?) It would show people what it is really like to move away from home and start out in college. I think they should make a documentary like that, so all the new college students would get a glimpse of what it is like.
