RUBY'S ANIMATE EXPRESSIONS FOR THE SONG: I’M STILL STANDING BY TARON EGERTON




First off, much accolades to Elton John who did the original song in 1983.

Life has been tough but a lot of us are “still standing”. The particular part of this song that really gets me hyper is the chorus. I can relate to the character in the movie “SING”, Johny the Ape with a British accent (Taron Egerton) who was passionate about following his heart despite his father's disapproval and absence. I know how it feels to be abandoned by one of the most important figures in one’s life, a Father.A lot of people may not know this, but he didn’t just sing to entertain the crowd, Johnny was actually pouring out his feelings. Similarly when I sing to the lyrics of the particular song, I always feel the painful sting of abandonment. If Johnny, being an Ape, an animal, can feel heart broken by his father’s character and attitude towards him, how much more me, a human with strong need for love and attention.

                           "Don't you know am still
                Standing better than I ever did" 


Ever stopped to wonder how hard life has pushed you? Well, I have, and guess what? Even with all life has pushed my way, I am standing better than I used to in the past.

                                     
   "Looking like a true survivor                Feeling like a little kid"



It doesn’t matter how the world views you, what do you see when you look at the mirror? a failure, or a winner?, a broken person or a survivor? Do you remember how it feels to be a kid, when you thought you could do anything, just before the world showed you limitations and disapproval? Well, it is still possible to do those things even now, all you have got to do is to think like you used to when you were a kid. 

You can’t let the negativity of your past or your present stop you, because this is what makes you a survivor. Johnny’s father saw him as a failure and a disappointment; but Johnny saw in himself, a winner, and that made him a survivor.

"Am still standing after all this time
am picking up the pieces of my life 
without you on my mind"


“After all this time”, yeah, it might take a long time, it might even seem like forever, but you have got to hold on. Abandonment is not the only thing I have to face in life believe me, it’s a everyday struggle to be a better person. Yes my life might not be in pieces, but I am surely picking up every piece that needs to fill the space of love and affection I never got from my father, I choose to forgive and put every other thing about him out of my mind, but I have picked up pieces of love, I mean TRUE LOVE from someone who is more than just a father. Yes I know you think its God right? <lol> of course I know God is always a father, but I am speaking about a human, with God’s heart towards me, so my heart or life might not be in pieces, but I am picking pieces of love and affection each day to fill that empty space. It won’t hurt so bad anymore if you could just drop the pain and choose to be happy. I call him BEST.

-Ruby.

TRACK REVIEW: SUNSET BLUSH'S I THINK IT'S TIME

Sunset Blush makes Indie, pop, punk, rock and just about all shades of music. The very unique voice and vocal exceptionalism here is undeniable. The song “I think it’s time” opens with the something like the sound of a happy note of hope. The feeling of clam urgency gives it a poetic placement.✌   “I think it’s time to… Open the curtains …I think it’s time to hug the person right next to you …Hugging stranger’s leads to wedding bells…” This is one of the songs that show up with a reminder of the need for people all over the world to come together and realize that all it takes to move from being strangers to best of friends is a kind gesture. If you keep to yourself and I keep to myself, all we will have is a world of lonely people keeping to themselves and hiding in the shadows of their individual difficulties when the person right next to us can be all the solution we would ever need. They say procrastination steals fulfillment. It reminds me of a beaut...
