In case you need a laugh this Monday I have done my part to provide you one. Have you seen the fast trending video of Sweet Brown? (2M views as of today) A woman who escaped an apartment fire and created this viral beauty:
But as I knew would happen…the web-comedians were quick to improve on Ms Brown’s video providing us with this catchy new hit:
Songs have a way of sticking/resonating the more you listen to them. Recently there has been this song that whenever it came on I found myself turning it up and made me think about relationships. I never caught the name of the song or artist and thanks to a wonderful app “Shazam” I finally found out the song was “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye.
We all can relate to the pain associated with good relationships coming to an end. This is especially personal for me having moved to Oregon back in 04′ and then back to Michigan last year. With each move a bunch of relationships changed drastically and many people I had spent time with weekly became people that I used to know. I wish it wasn’t this way and I’m sure some would say the same but it has unfortunately become reality.
I decided to post the video with lyrics rather than the official music video which is a little weird and took away from rather than add anything to the song for me.
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don’t even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
Once again I was floored with this Chrysler commercial during the Superbowl last night. No doubt a big portion of that stems from growing up in the Motor City, from having a sense of pride in the city of my birth. Having lived outside of Michigan I know what most people think of our city, how many are often confused with our pride thinking it should be shame for living in such a place as Detroit.
What I love about this video is the spirit of optimism it has for this city and our nation. It reminds us that just because we are down doesn’t mean we have to be out. I also disagree that it had a political message behind it, although I understand everything becomes political in an election year. Regardless of your party affiliation, we can all agree that our nation is struggling and that no single idea or person can turn us around. It took us years to arrive where we are at today, years of decisions and leaders that brought us to this point in history. Though at times I struggle to see it, I am choosing to hold out hope for this country…
“we find a way through tough times and if we can’t find a way then we will make one…all that matters now is what’s ahead.”
They have been doing this song at church lately and has quickly become my current favorite worship song. Check it out…I especially love the chorus and posted the words below:
Now all I am
I lay at Your feet
I’m humbled by the wonder of Your majesty
One thing I know
I find all I need
In Your unending love
In Your unending love
My last Friday Funny…and a fitting one. (dont worry it wont be the last funny video I post)
