I hope this week’s post finds you and your family safe and healthy. ❤
Lately, I have been trying to share posts that will bring you joy since so much of the world has been suffering due to COVID-19. (If you haven’t seen “Don’t Worry Be Happy” or “Handwashing Songs,” I hope these posts help you smile.)
Something that has really helped me get through this difficult time has been connecting with others through video chat. ❤ It has been so helpful to talk with others about all the challenges we have been facing, while at the same time talking about what we have to be grateful for. ❤
The song I want to share this week is “Everything’s Not Awesome” from the Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.
Lyrics:
Everything’s not awesome
Everything’s not cool
I am so depressed
Everything’s not awesomeWhoa, I think I finally get Radiohead
Bro, you should check out Elliot Smith
What’s the point? There’s no hope
Awesomeness was a pipedream
Aye, my spirits be at the bottom of the sea
Love’s not real, I just wanna eat carbs
Pass the ice cream
I am not a thing you can just use
To fill emotional voids with
Stop, everyone, okay, just listenEverything’s not awesome
But that doesn’t mean that it’s hopeless and bleak
Everything’s not awesome
But in my heart, I believe (I believe)We can make things better if we stick together
(If we stick together)
Side by side, you and I, we will build it together
(Yeah, build it together)
Build it together (Together forever)
All together now
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
HeartEverything’s not awesome
Things can’t be awesome all of the time
It’s an unrealistic expectation
But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try
To make everything awesome
In a less idealistic kind of way
We should maybe aim for not bad
‘Cause not bad, well that would be real greatEverything is better when we stick together
(We stick together)
Side by side, you and I, we will sing it together
(Always together)
Party forever (Together)This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
Heart
Please be sure to virtually connect with others right now. By connecting with each other, we will get through this. ❤
