Lately I've been buying songs for Mykiah and sending them to her. You know, there's a whole "It Gets Better" campaign out there. I'm trying to give her a similar message. She's full on hitting adolescence and that whole wash of hormones and questioning her self. I speak better through music than I do with words. Here's what I've sent her.
Beautiful by Christina Aguilera was the first one that came to mind. Even though.. it's Christina. Not my fave. And Kiah loves it. Score.
Then one night we were listening to music and I thought of a really good song I should share with her:
How did I wait this long to introduce my girl to TLC? Of course, listening to this song led me to say that Lisa Lopes passed away, and of course, that's a great subject for Mykiah right now so then we had to talk about how she died.
Guess where I went then. You'll never guess.
That's right. I went all Wilson Phillips on her. Unexpected, but uplifting.
I'd like to leave you with a song that's the top of my own playlist right now. My favorite Disney movie is the little loved "Hercules." And this song is my favorite Disney song. Is there any better way to hear a song performed than hearing it in acapella?
