audiophile

i'm quite an audiophile. i don't know how to compose music, neither do i know how to play it, but i sure love it.

so here, azaria the critic, i shall critique 'little superhero girl' by corrinne may, both sung and written by her.

it's my new favourite song, somehow or other it just speaks to me. i'm one who keeps things to myself, i've got this super huge pride that simply doesn't allow me to share my burdens with the people around me most of the time. stupid i know, but today's not the day to discuss this flaw. it's more of some background knowledge as to why this song really speaks to me, and basically to any when you're feeling so heavy, when you're weighed down with the expectations of the world, and yourself.

'i feel like a little girl,
trying to conquer the whole wide world
everybody wants a piece of me
and i just don't know where to turn'

don't we all feel like that? especially when we're young adults, in a few years we're going to try to 'conquer the whole wide world'.

'i've got work piled up to my head
all i want to do is jump into bed
and wash away my troubles
with lemonade
play hide and seek with the boy next door
take a trip to singapore
imagine how i'll make the world a better place'

and the chorus just blows you away, that hey, although you're a little girl in this huge huge world, you're a little superhero girl.

'i've got to have faith
zapping monsters into outer space
i'm gonna be a superhero'

the key is faith! we need to find that inner strength, to be our superhero.
