I can't count the times I almost said what's on my mind But I didn't
Just the other day I wrote down all the things I'd say But I couldn't I just couldn't
Baby I know that you've been wondering Mmm, so here goes nothing
In case you didn't know Baby I'm crazy bout you And I would be lying if I said That I could live this life without you Even though I don't tell you all the time You had my heart a long long time ago In case you didn't know
The way you look tonight That second glass of wine That did it, mmm
There was something bout that kiss Girl it did me in Got me thinking I'm thinking
All of the things that I've been feeling Mmm, it's time you hear em
In case you didn't know Baby I'm crazy bout you And I would be lying if I said That I could live this life without you Even though I don't tell you all the time You had my heart a long long time ago In case you didn't know
You've got all of me I belong to you Yeah, you're my everything
In case you didn't know I'm crazy bout you I would be lying if I said That I could live this life without you Even though I don't tell you all the time You had my heart a long long time ago Yeah, you had my heart a long long time ago, mmm In case you didn't know, know, know In case you didn't know
Tom Hanks does one of greatest acting jobs in the movie "Castaway". Goes to show you the world and time doesn't stop for anyone. You have to keep going, keep moving forward because things will get better. No matter what life throws your way, you have to keep moving forward.
This is such a good song for Netflix's new original series "13 Reasons Why." Shows the importance of talking to people and not hiding behind a computer screen.
How are you not inspired after hearing this song? If you can see yourself doing something then you can do it. It's that simple. It's as simple as believing you can do whatever you put your mind to and achieve your own goals.
Lyrics:
I used to think that I could not go on And life was nothing but an awful song But now I know the meaning of true love I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Chorus:] I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and fly away I believe I can soar I see me running through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down Sometimes silence can seem so loud There are miracles in life I must achieve But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can be it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Chorus]
Hey, cause I believe in me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it (I can do it) If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Chorus]
Hey, if I just spread my wings I can fly I can fly I can fly, hey If I just spread my wings I can fly-eye-eye-eye Hum, fly-eye-eye
In time when we are constantly wanting more we have to remember to take a moment to live in the present. Look and appreciate everything that is around you right now. It's not going to last forever and you will be looking back at those times, reminiscing.
Lyrics:
She was staring out the window of that SUV
Complaining, saying "I can't wait to turn eighteen"
She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules"
Momma put the car in park out there in front of the school
She kissed her head and said "I was just like you"
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In her one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her "It's a nice place"
She says "It'll do for now"
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says "Baby, just slow down"
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
She keeps apologizin'
He says "They don't bother me
I've got two babies of my own
One's thirty six, one's twenty three
Huh, it's hard to believe, but
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
All I can think of his the 2016 Newbury softball team when I hear this song as well as another one of my favorite Celine Dion songs "It's All Coming Back To Me."
Lyrics:
I can read your mind
And I know your story
I see what you're going through, yeah
It's an uphill climb
And I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you, yeah
Don't surrender
Cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most
There's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you question me
For a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see
If you stick together
You're gonna find the way, yeah
So don't surrender
Cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most
There's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
That's the way it is
When life is empty
With no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call (loneliness starts to call)
Netflix and Hulu are two big streaming competitors. They compete for the same clientele so comes as no surprise one of Hulu's took a direct shot at their competitor in one of their latest ads on April 14th.
It comes as no shock that Netflix saw this tweet and was not at all too pleased. Their four-word response has the internet world abuzz. What could Netflix have possibly have said to have everyone talking about?
Well it's simple. Their response to show their displeasure was the phrase "welcome to your tape" from one of their newest series "13 Reasons Why." The show is about a young high school girl who takes her own life but before she does she made a series of 13 tapes. Each tape depicts on person who she felt contributed to her decision and she starts the each one with "welcome to your tape" then the person's name.
Many are offended because Netflix's response appears to trivialize the increased rates of teen suicide which continues to climb. It's the furthest thing from the truth. They aren't trivializing it. The series brought more attention to it and the difficulties such as depression, anxiety, stress that all teens face in high school and has only gotten worse thanks to technology.
Second, 13 Reasons Why is fictional series. It's not real. Hannah Baker is not real. Yes there may be young teens like Hannah out there struggling with the same things she struggled with in the show but it's not real. We can't confuse reality with fiction.
Third, 13 Reasons Why is a tremendous series. It shows the importance of openly being genuinely nice to other people but it also shows the bigger picture. If you have a problem with someone, you have to talk to them. Just like Stevie Nicks sings about in her 1985 hit "Talk To Me." (Watch the music video on the left.)
It's also one of the things that Hannah was unable to effectively do. Her tapes were a passive-aggressive way of getting back at her classmates that she felt wronged her when all she had to do was talk to that person at that moment. Problems don't just go away. They will snowball and that's what happened to Hannah. And unfortunately it's happen to more young teenagers today.
With the increase use of iPhones, iPads, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat by teens today, it's making them less social and less able to confront real problems head on. It's too easy today to hide behind a screen and make fun of someone or call someone a name because they don't have to look them in the eye. It's much harder to make fun of someone or call someone out when you're standing directly in front of them.
It's one of the reasons why many college coaches want to do all-conference voting in person. It's too easy to sit at a computer and drag and drop the names of student-athletes into the all-conference rankings. If two coaches in a conference don't get along they may not vote for other's players when they are perhaps the best players in the conference. That is the wrong thing to do and certainly would not happen if these coaches were all to sit down in a room together and talk.
