Goodbyes Made You Mine

I’m not your high school crush, your first love, your first kisss
Guy that crossed you off of his list
I’m not the red tail lights that left you behind again and again

I’m not your jealousy, pre med, big man
Promised you a ring and took another girl’s hand
What’s it gonna take to make you understand I’m not that man

This is me now
Baby, don’t doubt
The love I can give to you
You gotta know

I ain’t the same old, let you go
Run you around
String you along, do you wrong
Like they done you till now
Girl, after all you’ve been through
I knew it’d be a matter of time
Till all those goodbyes made you mine

Yeah

I’ve been your late night call, your shoulder to cry on
Out on the highway listenin’ to sad songs
Talkin’ all night ’bout stupid things, makin’ you smile

I’ve been right here all of these years
I am your man
By now, you oughta know

I ain’t the same old, let you go
Run you around
String you along, do you wrong
Like they done you till now
Girl, after all you’ve been through
I knew it’d be a matter of time
Till all those goodbyes made you mine

No more lonely nights starin’ at your cell phone
No more clingin’ to a love so cold
With me, you’ll never have to be alone

I ain’t the same old, let you go
Run you around
String you along, do you wrong
Like they done you till now
Girl, after all you’ve been through
I knew it’d be a matter of time
Till all those goodbyes made you mine

Goodbyes made you mine

I ain’t the same old, let you go
Run you around
String you along, do you wrong
Like they done you till now
Girl, after all you’ve been through
I knew it’d be a matter of time
Till all those goodbyes made you mine

Great Motivational Songs from Children’s Movies

I am a huge fan of music from Children’s movies. I think its some of the greatest and most inspiring music I have ever heard. I listen to it all the time, and so when I recently stumbled upon a rather amazing blog post, I got really excited and decided to share it with you:

5 Great Motivational Songs from Children’s Movies.

POPCULTURETEA included 5 really motivational songs in her post:

1. I’ll Make A Man Out of You – Mulan
2. Just Around the Riverbend – Pocahontas
3. Go the Distance - Hercules
4. Learn to Do It – Anastasia
5. Seize the Day – Newsies

and she gave an honorable mention to We’re All in This Together from High School Musical.

Of course, these are all wonderful songs, and they are all way up there on my list of motivational songs (and definitely not in this order), but I feel like there are a few other songs that were missing from the list.

So, in no particular order, I present a few more of Stephanie’s Motivational Songs from Movies I Would Have Been Allowed to Watch As A Kid (because some of them are more modern than me):

Tomorrow – Annie

You Can Fly, You Can Fly, You Can Fly – Peter Pan

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah – Song of the South

The Climb – Hannah Montana: The Movie

Almost There – The Princess and the Frog

 

Newsies and The TRL Generation: Broadway Sings the 90s

I wasn’t going to include Newsies in this post, but someone asked to see the pictures, so I’ll include those below. There will be Newsies pictures from last Friday when I went to the show with Megan, and from April 20th, because I just got those pictures from Alyssa, and want to share them with you. Basically the show was amazing as always.

Now, on to more important matters. On Sunday night, I went to Joe’s Pub to see “The TRL Generation: Broadway Sings the 90′s, a benefit for Broadway Impact” which was pretty awesome. There was a boy-band group, a Spice Girls remix, and lots of awesome single acts. I love 90s music. I love Broadway singers. It was perfect. It was everything I wanted it to be, and it was fabulous. I had a caesar salad, which was really good, but the performances were epic. Everyone did such an amazing job.

The highlight, though, was definitely Britney Poppins. Steffanie Leigh is fantastic, and she pulled off Britney beautifully. It definitely helped that she had Garett Hawe dancing back-up and he was rocking a bright blue TMNT t-shirt. They incorporated all sorts of Britney’s dance moves, and even brought out a snake! It was awesome. I can’t even begin to say.

Basically, I’ll be back at Joe’s Pub soon.
