A bird that is caged cannot fly, it cannot defy gravity, but there is nothing worse than a bird that can fly but doesn’t realize it.- Khaleesii
When I heard about the theme of this week’s paper kite, I immediately related it to flying, I guess most people would because when you think kites, you think flight, and a kite that doesn’t fly is said to be broken.
I thought about different songs to sing, but none stood out to me emotionally, especially at this point in my life; I’ve been going through a lot of changes, so I needed something to show that.
I truly was about to give up but, yesterday I was listening to music on my phone and I came across the song “defying gravity” by the glee cast and it was perfect for the stage I am in.
For a paper kite to fly, it has to defy the law of gravity which might sound easy, but it isn’t because the earth is created in a way that we cannot escape the pull of gravity, and just like the kite, as humans, for us to fly, we have to also defy gravity.
It is crazy because most times, we don’t even realize that we are held down; someone of us don’t know that we can even fly and some are us are holding on to things that aren’t ours keeping us down.
I guess the only way we can fly is by trusting ourselves, letting go, and leaping off because even though it might not work, at least we tried.
This song is so dear to me and the words truly describe my emotions to the tee and maybe, one day, I’ll be like the paper kite; flying and defying gravity.
I hope you enjoy listening to my rendition of this song, thank you for watching.
LYRICS: DEFYING GRAVITY BY THE GLEE CAST
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes... and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!

Un pájaro enjaulado no puede volar, no puede desafiar la gravedad, pero no hay nada peor que un pájaro que puede volar pero no se da cuenta.- Khaleesii
Cuando me enteré del tema de la cometa de papel de esta semana, lo relacioné inmediatamente con volar, supongo que la mayoría de la gente lo haría porque cuando piensas en cometas, piensas en volar, y una cometa que no vuela se dice que está rota.
Pensé en diferentes canciones para cantar, pero ninguna me llamaba la atención emocionalmente, sobre todo en este momento de mi vida; he estado pasando por muchos cambios, así que necesitaba algo que lo mostrara.
Realmente estaba a punto de rendirme pero, ayer estaba escuchando música en mi teléfono y me encontré con la canción "defying gravity" del elenco de Glee y era perfecta para la etapa en la que me encuentro.
Para que una cometa de papel vuele, tiene que desafiar la ley de la gravedad, lo cual puede parecer fácil, pero no lo es porque la tierra está creada de tal manera que no podemos escapar de la atracción de la gravedad, y al igual que la cometa, como humanos, para que podamos volar, también tenemos que desafiar la gravedad.
Es una locura porque la mayoría de las veces ni siquiera nos damos cuenta de que estamos sujetos; algunos no saben que pueden volar y otros se aferran a cosas que no son suyas para mantenernos abajo.
Supongo que la única manera de volar es confiando en nosotros mismos, dejándonos llevar y saltando porque, aunque no funcione, al menos lo hemos intentado.
Esta canción es muy querida para mí y las palabras describen realmente mis emociones al pie de la letra y quizás, un día, seré como la cometa de papel; volando y desafiando la gravedad.
Espero que disfruten escuchando mi interpretación de esta canción, gracias por verla.
LYRICS: DESAFIANDO LA GRAVEDAD POR EL ELENCO DE GLEE
Algo ha cambiado dentro de mí
Algo no es lo mismo
Estoy harto de jugar con las reglas
del juego de otros
Demasiado tarde para cuestionar
Demasiado tarde para volver a dormir
Es hora de confiar en mis instintos
Cerrar los ojos... y saltar
Es hora de intentar
Desafiar la gravedad
Creo que voy a intentar
Desafiar la gravedad
Dame un beso de despedida
Estoy desafiando la gravedad
Y no me harás caer
Ya no acepto los límites
porque alguien dice que son así
Hay cosas que no puedo cambiar
Pero hasta que no lo intente, nunca lo sabré.
Demasiado tiempo he tenido miedo de
Perder el amor que supongo que he perdido
Bueno, si eso es amor
Tiene un costo demasiado alto
Preferiría comprar
Desafiar la gravedad
Dame un beso de despedida
Estoy desafiando la gravedad
Creo que voy a intentar
Desafiar la gravedad
Y no me harás caer

You have a very captivating voice.
And I love the sprinkles of expressions you add to singing songs.
You sing passionately.
Nice one!
Thank you so much, it means a lot to me.
If you could add instrumentals, or vocal harmonies, they'd project the sweetness even better. Or what do you think?
I prefer acapella most days, I do some with instruments but, it's not all the time.
Okay. It's all the same beautiful.
Thank you so much.
Beautiful, as usual, especially since this is such a hard song.
You did so well and shined.
Thank you so much, you are so kind.
You are welcome.
The way you related the song and the theme was really spot on.
By the way has anyone told you you sing like a Disney Princess?
Beautiful 😻
it's one thing that amazes me about her
she does it so effortlessly.
😆 hype woman, like you don't shine more.
Thank you so much and no, it's the first time I am hearing this though, I think Disney Princesses don't struggle as much as I do though.
What a Glee baby!
Great performance and expressions as always 👏
😆 says it's what a glee baby, kill me with laughter.
Thank you so much for watching.
You've been doing their songs na 😄
I don't even understand why oh, it just keeps coming
What a joy it is to have visited your post today. You always bring songs that remind me of great moments. That era of the late 2000's and early 2010's in the music world was great, and Glee was very important especially for musicians like us. I also knew this song through that TV series, how could I forget Rachel and Kurt in that great battle for the solo hahaha. Thanks friend, I loved that you sang it a cappella...
It was such an amazing time indeed, most of the music I know today came from glee.
Thank you so much for watching @jesuslnrs, I am so glad you liked it.
@khalisee you don't just sing for the dun of it, you sing to express what you have in your heart to others and I admire that. Indeed dear, you are flying already because you're coming out of those challenges. 😇💪
Thank you so much, music is very important to me so yeah, I use it to express myself.
That's great. You're welcome
Some songs are really wonderful and meant to heal the soul. This songs lyrics are really heart touching. And you voice is so sweet.
They indeed are beautiful, thank you so much for watching.
