Power Ballad

Well, hi!

Welcome to Spring!

I mean welcome to another week of blogging with Mr. Sunshine!

Although it did feel like Spring in my neck of the woods with the sunshine that Mother Nature FINALLY gave us.

What a GLORIOUS moment.

And speaking of sunshine, I got the opportunity to see 9 to 5 at the Fulton Theater on Sunday.

Go see it.

You have until March 24th to do so.

You won’t regret it.

And what I write about today has to do with two particular musical numbers from the show that I would consider “power ballads.”

A power ballad for me is a song that makes me feel good, powerful, and ready to take on anything in my way.

I share those songs via YouTube links below, so please make sure you take time to listen.

“Shine Like The Sun”

“Get Out And Stay Out”

I won’t lie.

After seeing the show on Sunday, I listened to both of these songs on repeat in my car belting as loud as possible during my 30 minute drive home to Lititz.

And it felt great.

I felt determined.

I felt strong.

I felt worthy.

I felt like I’m the best damn thing in the world that does a DAMN good job being a single man in the world of what we call 2024.

And you know what?!

YOU TOO are worthy of a power ballad song to make you feel strong, determined, and powerful.

Because you are.

You are worthy.

You are strong.

You are determined.

And damn all those around you try to bring you down!

We’re going to shine like the sun.

We are going take back OUR lives.

And there ain’t nobody in this world that can dull that shine or stop us.

Sprinkle sunshine always,

JP!
