This song is not just a showstopper, it is anthem that embodies giving your all no matter what the world around you has to say about you. This song is a classic, and It has been a little bit since I talked about a song, so here we are. From the hit show Funny Girl which is due for a revival in the near future at the time of this post, now seems like a great time to dive into why this song is so iconic.
I have not seen the show in any capacity or the movie it is tied to, I have only listened to this song countless times. This song speaks to me on many levels, it is a mood booster and an encouragement for several reasons. From relatable and uplifting lyrics, a kinetic and unmoving energy with memorable lyrics and score, and reasons I could list all day, this song is a must listen
Each lyric has an air of pure confidence but not that of arrogance. This song stands up and says " Do or die, this is my time" from start to finish. This song has so much soul from the catchy lyrics, perfect pacing, and masterful instrumentation. This song is vibrant and full of life from beginning to end. The song has a instills an encouraging spirit showing that no matter what happens, you have to try to chase your dreams and let no one stop you.
The use of comparison is perfect saying " Whether I am the rose of sheer perfection or a wrinkle on the nose of life's complexation.." shows what is at stake, and makes you root for the performer. The one performing the song shows what could be which is true to life and art, a huge success or a giant flop, but she wants to at least try. Saying "Do not send a cloud to rain on my parade.." shows that no matter what, or who gives or does not give support they are trying. This song is like giving yourself a pep talk, believing in yourself till the finish no matter what.
This song is not only incredibly catchy, warranting multiple repeats but it also embodies what we all should do a little more, believe in ourselves. Too many times we let others opinions weigh us down and matter in places they maybe shouldn't be. This song is a reminder to live your life to the fullest and keep striving, a great message for a great song.
This song is multiple decades old but has a relevant message while still being a fantastic song, making it timeless. The song can be used to pick yourself up, get you excited before your work day, or just something to dance to, this song is fantastic and will continue to entertain and inspire for ages to come.
