When music hits you ...

Do you ever find that for the first time you 'hear' a song ? No matter how many times you've listened to it before suddenly, for some reason, the words pop out as if you were meant to be hearing them right there and then.

This happened to me again today.

As many of you know I love burlesque. There is also the movie 'Burlesque'. It isn't what I class as proper burlesque, its unlikely to win any major awards, but the sound track is amazing and its one of my guilty pleasure.

Cher has the most incredible ballad which shows off her pipes to their best. Its very moving (I think atleast). Or perhaps its just the mood I'm in. As a disclaimer I would like to say that I was on the way back from the gym having taken my first step...

Regardless it sums things up how I'm feeling *right now* and will hopefully provide some inspiration for the coming days. (Please excuse the American 'gonnas')

Feeling broken

Barely holding on

But just there's something so strong

Somewhere inside me.

 

And I am down, but I'll get up again.

Don't count me out just yet

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it.

I'll be back - Back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me.

You haven't seen the last of me.

They can say that I won't stay around

But I'm gonna stand my ground

You're not gonna stop me.

You don't know me, you don't know who I am.

Don't count me out so fast

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking,

But I can take it

I'll be back - Back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me.

There will be no fade-out

This is not the end

I'm down now, but I'll be standing tall again.

Times are hard but I was built tough.

I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of.
