My Theme Song: I believe I can fly

If all people in the world have a commonality to be able to represent themselves, it could be the music that has amazing and mighty power. The song that represent me is “I believe I can fly” by R.Kelly. R.Kelly’s music is classified as R&B or pop. This song, ”I believe I can fly” was written by R.Kelly  for the kid’s movie, ‘Space Jam’. “I believe I can fly” is one of the most favorite and influential songs for me. This music is not fast and harsh, but it has strong feeling. The introduction is peaceful like gentle waves of the sea, and the regular beating of the drum makes me getting into the rhythm. The electric piano makes a comfortable melody. R.Kelly’s voice is a free flying bird on the sky. His voice goes down at beginning and goes up gradually, untile the chorus and the ending climax. Actually, I love the lyrics of this song. The chorus is absolutly my favorite part. The chorus says: “I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. I think about every night and day spread my wings and fly away. I believe I can soar I see me running through that open door. I believe I can fly.” I think these lines give hope and possibility to many people as well as me. Another line says:”There are miracles in life I must achieve. But first I know it starts inside of me.” I think it makes people who want to give up realize their potential. Like this, this song gives us hope and encouragement to not give up. It is a big reason why I like this song. Whenever I hear this song, I feel comfortable and relaxed. When I came to the U.S.A at first, it was difficult to adjust in a new country, and sometimes I really wanted to give up my studying. At that time, this song gave me strength, hope, and encouragement. Of course, I still listen to this song whenever I need to believe in myself and get encouragemnet.
