When I discovered YouTube, my music taste changed completely. I still listen to a wide variety of genres, though. I’m the type of person where my music taste ranges from, “you’ve gotta listen to this!” to, “please don’t judge me.”
The majority of the artists I listen to now I found through YouTube. They’re mostly a cappella and violin. Two things I never thought I would ever really be interested in, but they’re amazing and beautiful.
I started Musical Mondays to showcase songs that inspire me. Songs that inspire me to keep moving forward, stay positive, be the best I can be with what I’m passionate about, and most of all, just be me and be happy.
We Are Giants is an inspirational song by Lindsey Stirling and Dia Frampton. It’s a song about taking risks and standing up for what you believe is right. You be you and live your own life.
There are no steps to turning writing into a full-time career. You have to be passionate, determined, hard-working, and learn to be a little patient. You don’t necessarily have to go to school or even have experience, but the publishing industry is tough. Even if you make it, it’s not guaranteed to pay the bills.
We Are Giants encourages taking a chance, taking a risk. Just do it. You’re not just some small writer trying to make it. You are a giant who is going to be seen and heard. It may not be today, but it will happen.
I hope the song has some meaning for you. Below is the music video and below that are the lyrics with my favorite lines bolded. Enjoy.
Lyrics
Do you feel you’re afraid to stand alone?
Cut away every safety net
Just the space between the stars
Don’t be afraid to risk it all
‘Cause we are we are
We are giants
We are giants
We are we are
We are giants
We are giant
We are giants
We are we are
Put your heart into every word you say
All your failures’ a cornerstone
Build a house with the things you’ve thrown away
Just the space between the stars
Don’t be afraid to risk it all
‘Cause we are we are
We are giant
We are giants
We are we are
We are giants
We are giant
We are giants
We are we are
Just the space between the stars
Don’t be afraid to risk it all
‘Cause we are we are
We are giant
We are giants
We are we are
We are giants
We are giant
We are giants
We are we are

“Build a house with the things you’ve thrown away” is my fave, but then this is only my 8th favorite Lindsey song. ;o)
Lindsey Stirling is absolutely the best!

Oh the joys of YouTube. 😛
YouTube is my best friend.
It’s sometimes my worst enemy.
