Post # 2- A Personal Connection to a Song

In your second post I would like for you to share the song that you chose for your Narrative Essay. Share the song by creating a link in your post. Write about why you chose the song and the personal connection you have to it. This is a good opportunity to practice writing fluency. Do not copy your first draft of your narrative essay into this post! Just write.... :)

The song that I chose to share with you today is Master Pretender by First Aid Kit. First Aid Kit is a Swedish folk duo that I just love. I have a strong personal connection to the song, Master Pretender.

I heard this song when it was first released. I was in a time in my life where I was feeling really good and starting to feel like "me" again, after my heart had been broken. This song reminded me that I am strong, even though sometimes experiences in life will make me feel low and weak. Now, whenever I hear this song I remember how I felt when I was suffering from a broken heart, and look at how I feel now - strong and full of love. It helps me to show myself love, and demonstrate empathy and compassion for others that might be in a place of despair or suffering. As well, if I hear this song while I am driving, I know all of the words and can sing along really loudly and that makes me feel alive.
