Song Lyrics


It’s weird to suddenly actually hear the lyrics of some songs that are favorites that I have listened to many times before.  This one wasn’t quite one of my favorites, but its lyrics stood out to me today.  It is such a lighthearted song but its lyrics are not, when thinking about the actual real American epidemic of troubled or former troubled students who become school shooters.  I guess I just don’t quite understand how to interpret the lyrics in a more lighthearted way.  I guess maybe dark art forms are a way to diffuse that which is negative into something less harmful and more cathartic.  Like expressing darker emotions through music without actually desiring for such things to be a reality.  I don’t know.  I’m in a thinking too much mode.

I just found this article which happens to have this song as #18.

 Poor Santa.  I can imagine that having to go for a marathon sleigh ride could become quite a pain in the ass. #santasass (I swear I really truly can’t take all the credit for my apparent lapse into idiocy.  I just pick up on it and can’t resist.)

Influencers

 It is interesting how creators of channels on YouTube and other social media sites, along with creators of podcasts and even television streaming channels, are called influencers.  Sometimes I feel as though I have influencers in my own mind.  They may affect my thinking or how I feel about things.  Just the short time ago, I felt one that said, “Perhaps chill out about S”.   On a sidenote, last night I watched a video on a YouTube channel that I appreciated.  Now, if only more people were open to listening to these kinds of things.  I appreciate intelligent people and their thoughts.  No one has to agree with everything and no one has to always be aware of and understand everything, but it is worth digesting food for thought and giving it some real consideration.  https://youtu.be/Gq5hZKZky2g?feature=shared

Halloween Town

Image
It’s not yet Valentine’s Day but I find myself thinking of Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas”.  I can imagine a Halloween Town with real non animated characters.  😂 A delighted little witch from Halloween Town. 😀 🧙‍♀️ 🧡🖤🧡🖤  Trivia fact: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was the first fully animated feature film that was released by Walt Disney Productions in 1937. A Halloween Town barber. A Halloween Town plumber. Teachers from Halloween Town. A Halloween Town doctor.  Halloween Town firefighters. A Halloween Town auto mechanic. Halloween Town Trick or Treaters. A Halloween Town tavern keeper.  Halloween Town priests.
