Make Your Own Kind of Music

Friday, 18 Nov 2005 | Music

I just received my Mama Cass Elliot CD today and have got Make Your Own Kind of Music on song repeat on my iTunes at work. I heard the song recently on Lost and was reminded how much I like it. It has a an upbeat, optomistic sound to it that is addictive. It also helps me to feel good about doing my own thing. I have often lamented being different and not your typical person, but now I think that it is not only alright, it's a good thing. It's interesting how music can make such a difference in your life. I know it has in mine. :D

Nobody can tell ya
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell ya
Cause it hangs them up
To see someone like you

But you gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You're gonna be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough going
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

What a great post, Mike! I've also lamented not being typical and have compared myself to other people and their successes, so this was such a great message. Thanks for sharing!
