My Favorite Song

The song I chose is Let It Go from the movie Frozen. It is a lovely piano and orchestra piece sung by Idina Menzel, who plays Queen Elsa. This song, although thoroughly enjoyable to listen to, also has a beautiful and poetic lyrics. It's main focus is dealing with your personal issues.

The main chorus of the song talks about how Elsa has tried to hide her ice powers, and then decides not to care what anyone else thinks by simply letting them go. Although no one really has ice powers, I think it's a great comparison to when kids try to fit in with society, but should really just be themselves without worrying about what others think. There's another line that talks about never going back to your past, and I think that's a great reminder to keep your focus on the future and not stress over things that you can't change.

Although people interpret this song in many different ways, the basic point of it is that we should move on from what is behind us and not let others drag us down. Worrying over what was done in the past or how others are going to view us isn't going to help anything, and is only going to make us miserable. We should instead "let it go" and focus on the here and now.
