Some of you are gonna be sick but I will admit, I am a fan of High School Musical. I know... I know... here, have a puke bucket.
There is something so nice IMO about the optimism portrayed in the films, life is so much simpler as a teenager. I found one song that speaks to me the most, it was a scene in HSM2 where the characters Troy (Zac Efron) aka "Hair Sweep Jock Boy that Justin Bieber copied" and Gabrielle (Vanessa Hudgens) aka "Maths Girl" were having a tiff, because Troy was doing his own thing, and becoming someone that Gabrielle doesn't recognise, since he stood her up a few times, not wanting to hang out with their friends and what not.
However, the song in itself, it's says a lot especially more so when placed in an adult situation than something less trivial, i.e. a lil' H.S tiff. The struggles and knowing when to walk away and when to stay and fight on is something inherently adult. In my current RL, the 2nd verse is what I wanna tell one of my closest friend, since I have given him more than enough time to get his act together and to become a better person and I am so done waiting.. (Long story)
Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
and I watch them fall everytime
Another colour turns to grey
And it's just too hard to watch it all
Slowly fade away
I'm leaving today 'cause I've
Gotta do what's best for me
You'll be ok.
This song has always spoken to me for some reason, maybe cos it's the pain I recognise the most, the pain I most frequently encounter??
