Hello friends from around Hive, welcome to my blog and to Three Tune Tuesday, #ttt initiated by @ablaze. Give him a thumbs up. 👍
The month of July is here, marking the start the second half of the year. The year is really flying by so fast like the speed of the lightning. Damn!
So this fresh start of the month calls for reflection, renewal, and rejuvenation because despite the challenges life has thrown our way in these past months, we're still standing tall, and that's something to celebrate.
As I ponder on the past few months, I'm reminded that it's not about the struggles, but about the strength I've gained from them and the lessons learnt too. It wasn't easy but I did it, and for that I'm grateful - most especially for life, sound health and my daily bread. 😅
And with that, I'll be kicking off the first #ttt of the month with three iconic motivational tunes, which I believe will get you and I pumped up and ready to take on the second half of the year. Of course, I need some pumping up too, who doesn't? 😂
So if you're ready, let's roll.
Tune 1
Don't Stop Believin by Journey
"Don't Stop Believin" by American rock band - Journey was released through Columbia Records in October 1981, and has since become a timeless classic. The song was co-written by Steve Perry, the band's vocalist, Neal Schon the guitarist and keyboardist Jonathan Cain.
The idea behind the song is on encouragement and motivation - to not give up on your dreams even in the face of adversity, to persevere and remain focused on the goal. You'll no doubt feel inspired after listening to the song.
And the dice rolls to Tune 2
Roar by Katy Perry
.
"Roar" released in 2013 has a mix of pop and arena rock. The song was written by Perry, Bonnie McKee and the producers Dr. Luke, Cirkut and Max Martin.
"Roar" is a song that challenges one to stand up for themselves, to speak up and not allow anything overshadow their voice, no matter the situation.
The powerful lyrics and soaring melody of this song will surely pump you up to start roaring like a lion or even a cub. 😅
And hey, once you start, don't ever think of stopping. Yes. Listen up, you didn't come this far to just end up by the wayside, no! Therefore, charge forward and let nothing stop you.
With this, we roll to Tune 3.
Unstoppable by Sia.
"Unstoppable" by Sia, an Australian singer-songwriter was released in 2016. The song was written by Sia and Christopher Braide, and produced by Jesse Shatkin.
The song's theme centers on resilience and determination, and Sia's signature emotive vocals brings the lyrics of the song to life.
I love the positive vibe this song exudes, and I tell you it's a great song to listen to when you're feeling blue or low times as it has uplifting lyrics and catchy beat.
Wrapping up
You'll agree with me that these songs are more than just melodies - they speak deep about hope, motivation, resilience, determination and empowerment.
Believe me, they're just perfect for the start of a new month and the second half of the year.
Be positive! Be Unstoppable! Be You!
Thank you for rolling with me till the end. 😅
