Cinderella

Cinderella Is a song by Curtis Chapman. This song means a lot to me in that it is one of mine and my dad's song. in this post i am not really going to be focusing on the music aspect but more of an emotional aspect.

My dad and me have an amazing relationship. I love my dad more than anything really, and i honestly do not know what i would do without him, he helps me with everything and he is my hero. I tell him EVERYTHING. My dad is so special to me because he is always here for me, and he is honestly the best man that i have ever met and i have the most respect for him in the world. Though me and my mom do not have the best relationship my me and my dads relationship really makes up for it.

This song by Curtis Chapman is a song that my dad heard one day when he was driving around town and he figured out the name of it and showed it to me. He explained that as soon as he heard it it reminded him of me, about how he feels about us, about how i have grown up way to fast and that he knows someday he will soon have to let me go. This song is a perfect example of all that my father explained. The song starts with a little girl playing Cinderella and asking her dad to teach her how to dance for when her prince comes, so he dances with her (me and my dad used to dance as if we were at a ball all the time.) As the girl in the song grows up she goes to dances, and asks her dad to help her with her dancing, and as the song ends its him and his daughter dancing on her wedding day as he gives her away to her "prince" and it is a perfect song to sum up a father daughter relationship.

My dad is my world, and he taught me how to dance as well, but we both know that someday he will have to give me up, so while we still can we never forget about the important times that we need to spend together as a family.

In my family songs are used to express feelings, with each of my immediate family members we all have a song, my moms and mine is All Of My Love by Led Zeppelin, my dad and i have 3, My Girl by the temptations, My Dads Gone Crazy by Eminem, and Cinderella by Curtis Chapman, and finally my sister and my song is by Alanis Morrisette. My sister also has songs with my parents, for her and my father it is Happy Together by The Turtles, and hers and my moms song is Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. Songs can sum up not only a feeling, but an entire relationship, and this to me is incredible, songs arent just things to get stuck in your head because they are catchy, but they tell stories, a lot of the time they tell the same story, but the sound of the music can change the mood, and depending on your mood, the song can change its meaning, and the story's purpose can be completely different than it will be the next time you hear it. Music is incredible
