Letting It Go... In More Than One Way

  Don't you hate it when you get a song stuck in your head.  It's bad enough when the song lodges itself in there for a couple hours,  but when its there for days upon days... well that's just down right evil.

  I know this because for the last week I have had that song, 'Let It Go' from the animated blockbuster Frozen running through my head.

  So far nothing has been able to make it go away or at least replace it. However, I have found a way to deal with it.

  When a song runs through your head enough times you begin to really listen to the words.  And when that happens, you realize the song isn't about her ice powers and control,  but about a woman who has been repressing her stinky, loud gas and finally decides to not hold back anymore and just let it go.

  If you don't believe me, check out the lyrics from the song.  Which I've already looked up for you and posted below. Sadly, I will never listen to that song the same way ever again.

Lyrics to Let It Go

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,
not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried.
Don't let them in, don't let them see.
Be the good girl you always have to be.
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know.
Well, now they know!

Let it go, let it go!
Can't hold it back any more.
Let it go, let it go!
Turn away and slam the door.
I don't care what they're going to say.
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway.

It's funny how some distance,
makes everything seem small.
And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do,
to test the limits and break through.
No right, no wrong, no rules for me.
I'm free!

Let it go, let it go.
I am one with the wind and sky.
Let it go, let it go.
You'll never see me cry.
Here I'll stand, and here I'll stay.
Let the storm rage on.

My power flurries through the air into the ground.
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back; the past is in the past!

Let it go, let it go.
And I'll rise like the break of dawn.
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand, in the light of day.

Let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway...

  See what I mean. Yucky
