Song of the Week #2

Hello and welcome to another round of Song of the Week... Not sure why I'm trying to sound like a radio host here... I have a crap voice for radio, too lispy. I have a YouTube thing/account so sometime I might do a little video, that Accent Challenge that goes around or something like that. Maybe. Then you can hear my lispy Southern English accent. Heck it's probably a more authentic Bristolian accent than Sarah Lancashire's appears to be in those radio adverts for her new drama Kiri, and I don't even live in Bristol, just next to it.

Today's song is...

'Sing' by My Chemical Romance. It's my ultimate power song and I just love the lyrics, especially the chorus:

"Sing it for the boys

Sing it for the girls
Every time that you lose it sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world
Sing it for the world"

If I'm having a bad day I put this on, crank up the volume and it instantly makes me feel better. To me it's about embracing the underdog and basically fuck the system, it's crap and we know it but if we stick together we can power through and good will win. A recent example is Australia's same sex marriage vote. After so many years and lagging behind traditionally less progressive countries (*cough*USA*cough*) love won through popularity and that is awesome!

Anyway that's it for this Song of the Week. I will be back soon with a book review, well series review anyway.
