Dear Straykat, 3 Songs for You

avatar




Good day! It's been awhile since I wrote something about music and I'm glad I scrolled through a post by sugarelys (3 Songs you Would Dedicate to Yourself [ESP/ENG]) which was initiated by lucianav (3 Songs you Would Dedicate to Yourself). I don't know if this initiative has a deadline or not though I still chose to participate whether it has already ended because I like subject. This initiative encourages you to think of three songs you would dedicate for yourself. I see this like a letter for yourself and an act of self love. And so I am in!

It was difficult to choose only three songs since there are a lot of good songs I'd like to dedicate to myself but right now, these songs I am putting in this post are what I want to tell myself.

Dear Straykat, 3 Songs for You




#1 RISE by Katy Perry


I am so glad to have reunited with Katy Perry's songs at the beginning of 2021. I know only a few of her mainstream songs and when I decided to look more of her songs, I found her song Rise. The song was very nice and empowering, having a feeling like a powering is starting to awaken and glow inside you. I instantly fell in love with it.

Rise will be the first song I am dedicating to Straykat because she was put down and underestimated so many times. Doubted and questioned for her actions and decisions just because it doesn't align to the normalcy.

When, when the fire’s at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They’re whispering, "You’re out of time
But still I rise

One time, someone told her she's running out of time. She has a couple of vultures circling in her life keeping an eye ready to mock her. Despite the vultures always ready to downplay her little progress, she knows in the end, every step she took no matter how little and slow will add up and make her rise in the end. She does not conform yet she will survive and so she will thrive.

Don’t be surprised
I will still rise

#2 FIREWORK by Katy Perry


Firework is one of the songs I love most by Katy Perry and it's probably her most famous song ever. I began listening to this again last Christmas because I felt so low and I needed something to keep myself strong. And so I am including this song to the songs I am dedicating to myself.

I choose Firework as the second song for Straykat as a reminder that she is who she is. She matters in this world and nobody is truly is the same as her in this universe. And that rejection is a redirection to something much more awesome. Through this song, I want to tell her that there is something very colorful and sparkly inside her that she is still yet to discover and show to the world.

Maybe the reason why
All the doors are closed
So you could open one
That leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt
Your heart will glow
And when it’s time you know

She must not doubt herself and just be her own kind of weird, if that's how people want to see her. I want to tell her that only in a pitch-black sky you can see the brightest and most colorful firework.

‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on show them what you’re worth
Make them go, “Oh, oh, oh”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make them go, “Oh, oh, oh”
You’re gonna leave before they know

#3 HAVE IT ALL by Jason Mraz


Third and last song I would dedicate to Straykat is Jason Mraz's Have It All. I could've put another Katy Perry song but people might assume this is a Katy Perry post so I am adding Jason Mraz. He is one of my favorite singers since 2009. Jason sings songs about positivity, love, and peace.

The lyrics of Have It All is a whole letter of wishing good vibes and good luck and this is what I wanted to dedicate to Straykat for the final song. People may not know but deep inside, Straykat often thinks negative. I wish her to be happy and get things according to her favor.

May you have auspiciousness and causes of success
May you have the confidence to always do your best
May you take no effort in your being generous
Sharing what you can, nothing more nothing less
May you know the meaning of the word happiness
May you always lead from the beating in your chest
May you be treated like an esteemed guest
May you get to rest, may you catch your breath

She also often think anxiously and so I hope someday she'll get through it. And I hope she chooses to go and somewhere less crowded. I know that in heart she wishes to be different, because she wanted to stand out while just being her own authentic self.

And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows
And may the road less paved be the road that you follow

I wish for Straykat to have it all.

That's all. I wish these 3 songs I am dedicating to Straykat motivates her to keep going and believe in herself, and realize that she deserve good things too. ❤️
