WWC: Build your own

CHORUS

Where do old signs go
Will it be used again
Up to a roof or wall
Maybe inside a bar
Or maybe as a decoration
It should be used again
I look at the signs
And I really want one, badly

(Inspiration from Where do broken hearts go by Whitney Houston )

Original lyrics

Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that’s waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won’t they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me

Writing 101: They’re playing our song

Mia2 Comments

Choose 3 songs, yeah right. Where will I found those? I have no special memories of any songs. I liked so many over the years. One thing is for sure, music in the 2000’s is crap. Most of them. Classics rule. Ok I got those three songs, you asked for.

Pray- Take That

American’s probably don’t know who they were (still are) But they were a boyband from Manchester, England. They were popular in the 1990’s. The were 5 guys who danced and sang. Won’t go into details. This was their first number one in the UK. The video was shot in Acapulco. I loved the band. They were my teenage crush. You people don’t know what you missed. Backstreet boys, who?

A view to a kill- Duran Duran

My mum taped songs from the radio and this was one of them. It’s a theme song for the James Bond movie, A view to a kill. That’s all. Duran Duran is still the bomb.

Hand on your heart – Kylie Minogue

I remember this song but I never remember what it is called, I remember the video though. I always wished she would be my sister. Some kind of substitute to my own sister. Kylie just seemed down to earth and someone who could be there for you. Later I have found the song on GrooveShark and I still love it.

Phew I made it. 15 minutes up.

IBQ Writing Prompt: What is Happiness?

Happy- Pharrell Williams

Niles Crane asked his brother Frasier Crane on season 1, episode 24  “Are you happy? If someone asked me the same, I would have to think a while like Frasier did.

What is happiness anyway?
Last time I was truly happy was a long time ago. I would say I had a happy childhood. Minus my sister’s death of course. Before that my life was happy. I had loving parents and my sister adored me. Both of my grandmothers were still alive. My mother told me once that when I was born my sister was really excited. She loved having a little sister. Even if our time together was short, it was still the best time of my life. All those Lapland trips, birthdays and Christmases. Those I would call happiness. A loving family is everyone’s wish. In that way I was lucky.

I’ve had more downsides than upsides in my life. I don’t dream big because of that. I’ve learned to enjoy the small things. A bike ride, watching my favorite movies or TV shows, listening to music of all kind. Watching comedy really lifts my spirit. Also writing makes me happy. Mostly fan fiction. When I get an idea, I can’t stop writing. Sometimes it can take hours. I can write and write but if someone interrupts my train of thought, I can get quite irritated. I will probably never publish them but writing them is good therapy. For me happiness is also just walking alone with my camera and take photos of nature. There would be no one around.

I was happy in 2011 before my mother became sick. We went to Lapland. To the same place we went almost every year. We slalom skied for a week. That also made me happy, skiing. It was a time things were good for a while.

If I’m happy now? No, no one is happy if you have no job and your life is going in around in circles. Also when you lost someone close to you not so long ago. Happiness is the last thing on your mind.
