Let It Go

LittleNortherner has seen the movie "Frozen" three times. Only three times.

 There is a song in the movie called "Let It Go". It's the soundtrack to a pivotal scene. The song is beautiful, the animation is amazing, and the music brings everything together into a powerful movie moment. The chorus (shown below) is repeated several times in the song, and is fairly simple to learn (even NorthernDaddy was humming along to it as he left the theater). Not so easy to catch are the lyrics in the verses. As the song plays on the local radio station, a person finds themselves letting the verses be sung by the recording artist, and then joining in and belting out the chorus. (Don't try to claim that you never do that...)

Anyhow, the reason that NorthernDaddy brings this up is that he changed the radio in the kitchen from the normal country music to an adult contemporary station. He wasn't really paying attention to the songs playing - it was just background noise as he loaded the dishwasher. A small voice started singing along with the song. It got louder as LittleNortherner rounded the corner into the kitchen. Awww, isn't that cute? The sweet sounds of a child singing....except....he's singing along with the verses. He knows every word to each verse. How does he know the lyrics? Remember - he's only seen the movie three times, yet he's singing along with Idina Menzel like he's right in the recording booth with her....

 

Totally unfathomable.

 

Of course, once the song stops playing on the radio, LittleNortherner doesn't stop singing. He keeps going at the top of his lungs. He even adds in some type of interpretive dance to go along with his singing. It's enough to drive a man crazy...

 

Dude...really...just Let It Go....
