My Life Full Of Music

 Okay so as soon as I played this song my mind was taken to TikTok, that may sounds funny (and to be honest it is), but it just goes to show how a song can get big in a different time and place.

But I really love the contrast between the two.  I really admire the use of lyrics when Helen sings: " Here I slide again, about to take that ride again.  Starry-eyed again, takin' a chance on love....
