Advent Calendar December 16th: Snowflakes
IT SNOWED! When I woke this morning it was snowing – sadly, it stopped by the time I’d set up my camera, aaand then started again after I was done. Clearly, Lady Luck isn’t on my side for a snowflakes tumbling shot today.
In my haste, here I am, bleary, puffy, makeup-free and in my PJs for a sultry(ish) rendition of a very pretty song by Olivia Holt off the Disney Holidays Unwrapped album. It’s a song that I like very much, and I think it came out alright, if I’m honest. Even with the camera randomly refocusing on the background every few moments…
I appreciate the message of the song. Sadly the phrasing has been co-opted by people on the internet to be mean and put other people down.
But, I prefer the true and honest take on it:
We are all unique, and that’s beautiful.
We’re all trying to find our people,
and a place we can call home.
And all we can do is our best at what makes us, us.
But then, I’m a hopeless romantic.
The original is better and has capo on 3, but, y’know, this version you can play yourself. Here’s the vid for your delectation:
