My Song Review

You know the bed feels warmer

Sleeping here alone

You know I dream in color

And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me

Think you had the last laugh

Bet you think that everything good is gone

Think you left me broken down

Think that I'd come running back

Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

Chorus:

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new

But told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back

I'd come back swinging

You try to break me but you didn't see

Back to Chorus

Thanks to you I got a new thing started

Thanks to you I'm not a broken hearted

Thanks to you I'm finally thinking ‘bout me

You know in the end the day I left was just my beginning

In the end...

Back to Chorus

It’s just need a blink of eye period for me to decide What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger) by Kelly Clarkson as the object of my song review task. I don’t know why, but out of my hobby that is listening to up beat music, this song is really grab my heart. Since at the first time I knew this song, I stunned, when one of my friend played this song at the karaoke room one day. This song’s chorus is so ‘me’! Resemble  me and remind me of my life choice to do this and that, instead of doing this and that.

There’s a few lines of this song lyrics that I love so much:

My reason liking this song is not because of my experience that had been broken heart one day in the past or something. This song is not just energizing me when I listen to the beating and high notes. But this song reminds me whenever I’m down or when I’m tired of my life, I just have to do it and give my best for whatever I do. When I face many troubles, barriers  and sadness in my life, this song makes me aware that I still have a long way to go. I have to survive in any condition, because after I overcome those all, I will be stronger, stand a little taller, and even makes a fighter.

Like my condition right now, when the exam is getting closer, I don’t know why so many things come up, distract my mind, until I don’t know what I have to do first. Everything’s going across my mind randomly, that make me so difficult to think and to make a priority. When I always can give my task in order, in my to do list, now I can’t. My life is so messy recently because I decide to take some commitment that bring me to this busy day.

But when I listen to this song, it remembers me to the time I decide to take the decision. The decision that brings me here, to be the one of the executor of BEM’s policy, to be the one that have to do more because I stand at the executive position in KM STAN (Keluarga Mahasiswa STAN). It’s also reminds me about the reason I choose this way of my life. That is to enrich myself with as many as possible experience, knowledge, and skill when there’s a chance for me. I choose this way because I want to challenge myself, how far can I go and reach my goal. And because I want to do more than others, not just sleeping and do everything at my dorm, but I want to make my life to be colorful with many great people around me, many activities to kill my loneliness, many moments to memorize, and  the other great things that the other people can’t get because they don’t choose the way like I do.

And also I can always get up, get my mind and soul ready to face some trouble in future. Because when I get this trouble, I can solve it, so I get the satisfaction that the other is not. When I pass through that all, I can get so many values that make my life better. To be the stronger one, who stand taller, and even make a fighter. J
