I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor


I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor
 
 
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
oh as long as i know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive (hey hey)

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little girl who's
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

This well-known song, released in 1978, accidently was remaked in South Korea in 1997. It was my mother's 'the most' favorite song and she was willing to listen every time she felt down. Last night, when I went to Subway, It was there. It instantly cheered me up as always and let me want to share on my blog to remember for next time.

Walt Whitman and comments on some poems


Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

There is no doubt for Walt Whitman's influence on American modern poetic world, although there were some arguments that went against his open form and style; "his prophetic stance, his long lines and broad cultural ambitions, his frank sexuality, his incantatory lists, and his search for a representative and unifying American selfhood" (Nelson, 1). Born on Long Island, Walt Whitman grew up in Brooklyn. He worked several jobs, but ended up with journalist. In 1855, he published his masterpiece, Leaves of Grass, which underwent several editions. In 1862, nursing injured veterans of the American Civil War for several months changed his point of view. In 1873, a stroke hit him and made him to move to Camden, New Jersey, where he lived for rest of his life.


One's-Self I Sing (1867)
From the title, Walt Whitman said clearly about its theme, identity, from the word, "self." The poem is all about identities of American, men, and women. Not being aware of American History, being a British colony, around the war, America experienced massive changes, and through the poem, Walt Whitman spoke about the change. It is a poem not only for individual, but also for Everyone who lived in United States. In the second line, "the word En-Masse" pointed out that its for the group of people living in the states. The fourth line, "Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse, I say the Form complete is worthier far," directly said that neither appearance nor thoughts really mattered, but the way all the people got together. It also claimed equality, in line five, "The Female equally with the Male I sing." With capitalization on two words, "Female" and "Male," he emphasized and make the same sound of both sexes. In the last stanza, he finalized the theme, with their own identities, they were good.

Almost!

It has been so long since I could not post anything due to finals and schoolworks, which made me feel so guilty. I should have done before the time came, but every semester, I failed. Although I always tried to be organized, I am not born to be that way, and free me from all the plans I have set for my future. It is three fifty in dawn and I hope to see sun rises in the morning. Four more hours to focus on studying the last final and hope to end well. See you all soon, with the posting on A Sentimental Journey by Laurence Sterne.
