Soul Food Week 2

So yesterday I was having a DAY. I was super hormonal and went from crying to laughing to angry multiple times. It started off with my clumsy self dropping my keys by the front door and I started crying… no seriously… straight up bawling my eyes out while I stood there and stared at them on the floor. Who knew keys were so dramatic?!?! When my brain realized what was going on, all I could do was laugh. This was short lived because not long after, I got very angry with a repair guy who had to reschedule which is completely out of character for me. So surprise, surprise.. I cried because I felt bad for being mean to him ∗sigh∗ ..I felt like the insanity was never ending because that happened before 9am and did not improve as the day progressed. Well I took some of my own advice in the afternoon and turned on some much needed soul music.

Remember my love of living room dance parties?? This weeks Soul Food is one of the best songs for letting loose and putting you in your happy place. If you have seen the movie Center Stage then you will recognize this song immediately. Even if you are in the worst mood possible, I promise this song will bring you back. Its one of those songs where by the time you make it to the chorus you are most likely smiling and dancing around already. Not only is the music part of this song just amazing but the lyrics are what also add this to the top of the Soul Food list. I mean.. the first lyric you hear is “You know this boogie is for real.” What an awesome way to start a song! With this song.. my boogie is SO for real! And yours will be too 🙂 Here are a few of my favorite lyrics from the song with emphasis on the epically relatable parts.. I could probably just put the whole song down but I will let you discover the rest for yourself.. enjoy!

♥ Canned Heat – Jamiroquai ♥

“You know this boogie is for real..”

“It’s just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before
I don’t know what to do
But then that’s nothing new
Stuck between hell and high water 
I need a cure to make it through”

“I got this voodoo child inveined on me
I’m gonna use my power to ascend
You know I got these running heals to use
Sometimes there’s no way to lose
I was born to run, And built to last
You’ve never seen my feet ’cause their moving so fast!”

“Dance!
Nothing left for me to do but dance!
Off these bad times I’m going through.. just dance!
Got canned heat in my heals tonight baby”

“You know I’m gonna dance yeah..”
Oh the nasty things that people say.. Dance!
But I’m gonna make it anyway.. Dance!
Got canned heat in my heals tonight baby!”
