My New Theme Song

I have been hearing this song on 99.7, and I just love it. It’s an older song, and I have no idea who sings it, but I really like it. It reminds me a lot of myself. It is called “One hand in my pocket.” The song is about being stressed and worried but still being happy. It seems to be about acting brave but secretly being scared to death. She uses the phrase “I’m brave, but I’m chicken shit.” These are a few of my favorite phrases she uses because they are so true. “I’m young, but I’m underpaid.” “I’m tired, but I’m workin’.” “I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other is giving a high five.” “Everything’s gotta be fine fine fine.” Those are just a few of my favorite phrases. If I can eventually find the lyrics, I will post them on my blog. I really like everything she says in the song. It just makes me feel like everyone is going to go through hard times, but you have to stay positive. It shows that deep down not everyone is brave and strong. Everyone has their weaknesses, but you have to overcome those weaknesses. Life is hard, and there is no getting around it. I like this song because it encourages people to get over the fact that life is hard and just live your life the best way you can. I try to always stay positive, but I’m not going to lie, it gets really hard sometimes. I am trying to stay as happy as possible because it could always be worse.

That song sounds extremely familiar. Is that Alanis Morsette singing? I like this song, too. It kind of encourages you to keep going, even when things get tough. There should be more "happy" lyrics in songs, like this one,instead of so much depressing music. Anyways, this song is down to earth; that's one reason I like it.
