Inspired by a Song

I’ve been looking for something all week to get me out of my winter slump, some kind of inspiration. Sitting watching Ellen at lunch – it happened. A song that brought a big fat smile to my face, a performance that made me laugh out loud.  

Before I tell you what song it is, I’ll let you in on a little secret, I've often been told I have quite the ‘bad' taste in music. I like to refer to it as ‘eclectic’! I love a bit of everything - from classical, opera, old school, hip hop, grunge, pop, dance, alternative, folk and the list goes on. Music is an expression of one’s self and it's an integral part of my life. It gets me through the day, it makes me laugh, cry, scream, dance, jump for joy, brings back memories from travel, old loves, food, books and people.

I loved this song the first time I heard it.  Every time I hear it, I just want to get up and break into a little dance. What a great way to start the weekend…

Somebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
There's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at, I bet she's around

Yeah, I know it's stupid
I just gotta see it for myself

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh
I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own

I'm just gonna dance all night
I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line
Stilettos and broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh
I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own

So far away but still so near
The lights go on, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh
I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own
