My name is Marian _______________. I am a person who loves all kinds of music, especially romantic. I grew up in a free and healthy environment. My hometown of Ciego de Avila, Cuba is a place full of gentle and friendly people, where I used to listen loud music without bothering my neighbors. After I spent almost nineteen years of my life in that place, I moved to Florida, United States. Nowadays, I am living with my husband and my daughter in a beautiful house full of love. I present this soundtrack to you as an important part of what my life has been.
Each song was carefully selected to express and explain different events in my past five years. Likewise, I think this assignment will help me look deep inside me. Analyzing prudently each track will also change my perspective of life. I want to become a better person and be successful in college. I want to have a greater life. By completing this project, I hope to find correct ways to solve problems and not only expect to become an excellent critical tinker, but also I want my voice to be heard. I have only one life, and I want to live it to the fullest till the end.
In the past five years of my life I have had not only many falls, but also many ups. One of those ups was when I saw him again, my perfect man, the love of my life, the father of my daughter. All started in the airport while I waited for my mother. My father and I invited some old friends of the family to give my mom a great welcome. Suddenly, I looked to the big open door and there he was. This time he was more handsome and attractive than last time. Can you imagine almost four years without seeing him? While my hands were shaking and sweating, he approached and my heart exploded.
At that moment, I realized that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. I chose the beautiful song I am alive from a talented singer as Celine Dion is, to be the first song of my soundtrack, because it significantly explains the way I feel when he is around me. In her lyrics, Celine Dion says When I hear you breathe, I get wings to fly, I fell that I am alive He makes me feel exactly the way this singer describes it in her song. Today, we have been together for five years; and it´s only begun, I can´t wait for the rest of my life
As a product of that love, our beautiful little Melanie was born. At the beginning no one accepted my pregnancy, because I was too young and still studying; however, over the time, our family understood the decision we made. After the longest nine months of my life, finally my little miracle of life come true. That is why I chose Miracle as the second song of my soundtrack, and it is performed also by Celine Dion. It has a huge meaning for me because it reminds me those days when I hold my daughter in my arms for the first time. She is the most magnificent person God could ever give me.
As the performer says in her lyrics, Only God creates such a perfect love. It is so difficult for me to describe that sensation; I felt like the most beautiful feeling inside my heart. This song reached my soul, and it took my breath away. In one of her verses, Celine Dion says I never knew a love like this till you, and she is right. Life is no longer about me; now, life is all about her. She is my miracle of life. But in life, not everything is happiness or perfection, and as other relationships, I have had problems too. Which one? Parents in law; that is how I define my problem.
They want me to do whatever they want, without realizing that I have my own opinions and different ways to solve my struggles. In addition, I am a very respectful person; therefore, I would rather stay quiet, bite my tongue and hold my breath before saying any phrase someone does not like. At that point, while I was selecting the songs for this assignment, I heard one that was strongly connected to my problem. That song is Roar by name, and it is performed by the young girl Katty Perry. After I listen to her lyrics I realized that I had a choice, that I cannot live like that anymore.
Consequently, I took the decision to talk to my parents in law and speak up in the best way possible. I am not sure if they understood my point of view, but I am very proud of my own self. I guess I went from cero to my own hero To conclude, music plays a significant role in each one of our lives. As can be seen, it brings back memories of some events of the past, like mine, to remember how was my reunion with the love of my life, or when our daughter was born. On the other hand, music also influences sometimes in the decision we make.
Previously, I was afraid of saying what I wanted to say, but after listening to the song, I got the strength needed to express myself. After all, I want to say thank you for taking some of your time to listen these sequence of songs. They represent an important part of my life, and I would like to conclude my project but not without saying: Live your life to the fullest and create your own dreams. Remember that dreams can come true, but only if you take the time to think about them and focus on what you have to do to achieve them.
