Do What?

So, how many of you have honestly had a song that you really enjoy, so you listen to it frequently? Or maybe it’s a song that you just hear on the radio or Pandora several times a day? How many of you have sang at the top of your lungs to one of these songs when you are alone? You think that you sound like Miley Cyrus or even Lady Gaga, right?! Well, I must admit, I am very guilty of all of the above. Even when I don’t know all of the words, I still belt it out like I know what I’m singing about. Maybe I’m even the song writer…right? We can all dream. One of these songs for me is Rihanna’s Umbrella. I love the song. Always have. I love the meaning of this song. I always sing at the top of my lungs to this song and really get into it. There’s one part of this song that I didn’t know the words to until recently. As in the past few weeks. I want to see if you know the words (without cheating and using google). I’ll put the blank where I didn’t know the words. I will even attach the youtube video of the song, so that you can take a listen.

Because, when the sun shines, we’ll shine together

Told you I’ll be here forever

Said I’ll always be your friend

Now that it’s raining more than ever,

Know that we’ll still have each other,

You can stand under my umbrella,

You can stand under my umbrella,

ella, ella, ay, ay, ay…..

Yep…that blank is where I made up my own lyrics. Now that I know the real ones, I can’t remember what I used to say. Here’s the music video. See if this helps you.

Now…you may still not know what it says. This didn’t even phase me for a few years now that I didn’t know the words to this song. I still sung at the top of my lungs proudly and even did a little jig to go along with it. Recently, I found a really great acoustic version of this song sung by Marie Digby. I really liked it. So much, that I downloaded it. I’ve listened to a few of her other songs, but this one is a good one. I finally heard what the lyrics actually were. I’ve put this video below, so that you, too can hear the clarification. Amazing what an acoustic song does for my mind and soul.

Start thinking of all the songs that you make up words to…there are lots, I’m sure. And if anyone can sing all the lyrics to Yellow Ledbetter, I’d love to hear it….no google!
