Measure of a Man

Day five of the 30 Song Challenge!!!!!

Righty. 

A song that reminds you of someone. 

This one was easier than I'd expected. I'm going to do Measure of a Man by Elton John. (I can't stand the man, but this song is really awesome.)

You've come full circle, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win
And rise above your troubles while you can


The person it reminds me of is a really, really good family friend. I've known him since I was ten, and he's awesome. The whole family's adopted him as our big brother. He's great, he's hilarious. The kind of person you can't help but like. (And then, after you get to know him, you tend to want to throttle him. Hehe! That's just his personality.)


He's had kind of a rough life overall, so the lyrics to this song always reminds me of him. 

Back on the beat.
Back to the start.
Trust in your heart.
That's the measure of a man.


OOOOH. Guess what! Guess! Guess! Guess!

TOMORROW I'M GOING TO BE SEEING JOSH GROBAN LIVE!!!!!!!


I am so freaking excited!! Y'all be jealous.


But do not fear, I shall have a post scheduled for tomorrow's challenge. 

You will be seeing a new post tomorrow. 

Cheers and God bless. *hugs*

  2. I...was...skimming and got to.....and then I just kind of....and now.....and....and.....I am not sure if I want to squeal with glee or throw my shoe at you. I think I will have to do both. You get to see him, live. Live, breathing, in person...as close as in person as you can get. That's it, I am coming now and I am sneaking in with you. HE'S IN CALIFORNIA?!?!?!?!?!?!? Oh!!!! I bet he's going to sing Brave. All of his new wonderful album. And Brave. And you get to hear him, IN PERSON!!! I just can't....*Tosses shoe in your general direction and sulks off to have a moment of fan girly squealing.*

    1. Hehehehehehe. Kat's awesome, she bought me a ticket. We had *good* seats. I wish you could have come! :-\ We brought the camera, but I forgot to check the batteries, so said camera had no power and we only got a few pictures on Kat's phone.
      BUT HE SANG BRAVE AND I LOVE HIM AND HIS VOICE IS AMAZING AND I'M GOING TO SING WITH HIM AT SOME POINT IN MY EXISTENCE.

      He sounds just as good live as he does in the recording studio, which makes my respect for his music go up like a 100 percent.

      After tossing your shoe, do you feel better? Or do you feel like Sammy? "I lost my shoe......"
