Thoughts and other ramblings

Reading One Word Kill this past weekend made me crave ’80s music. Today is also the start of a new era in my life and honestly, it feels pretty good. I’ve achieved a lot this past year or so and now I’m ready to take another step toward reaching my dream. It’s exciting and horrifying at the same time. When I was thinking what song I should pick, What a Feeling kept sneaking its way into my head. And let’s face it, it’s a good one, so why not? It’s been ages since I’ve seen Flashdance, but the lyrics go pretty well with my current situtation.

Lyrics

First when there’s nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

What a feeling
Being’s believing
I can have it all
Now I’m dancing for my life

Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart

What a feeling, being’s believing
I can have it all
Now I’m dancing for my life

Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
Now I’m dancing through my life

What a feeling

What a feeling (I am music now)
Being’s believing (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling
(Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)

Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call ,call, call, what a feeling)
I can have it all (being’s believing)
Being’s believing (take your passion)
(Make it happen) Make it happen
(What a feeling) What a feeling
