Celebrate The Freak In You with Pop Music Positivity
By Alex Fayle

Let’s get Anti-Boredom Month here at Someday Syndrome started off with a real BANG!

I’ve loved Macy Grey every since I heard her song I Try, but it wasn’t until her second album that I realized how much of a wonderful freak she was. Her version of pop music hasn’t been Disnified or sanitized in any way. It’s bold, it’s brash and it doesn’t matter who likes it or not.

Macy knows she’s got what it takes to succeed and knows that she’s mighty sexy while doing it.

In this song, she reminds us that what makes us special isn’t what makes us like everyone else - it’s the freaky part that “mom” wants you to hide from the rest of the world. “No way!” says Macy:

you’ve got to express what is taboo in you
and share your freak with the rest of us
cause it’s a beautiful thang

She also reminds us how to make sure our lives aren’t boring by saying:

that I got to be
to be the freak that god made me
so many thangz I want to try
got to do them before I die

So, this weekend as I’m off in Madrid celebrating Pride weekend with 2 million other people, I want you to celebrate the freak in you - what will it be?

Share and Enjoy:

Amazing how music can literally transform us? I feel it’s an underrated medium - we need to keep up the buzz about the power of music to transform - especially when we get stuck in the “Someday Syndrome”. Great post for a great long weekend!
