MY FAVOURITE THINGS

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites,
when the bee stings,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.


[Repeat all verse]


This song is about how you can get out from the bad emotion. I’m sure that you have many of your favorite things. I will tell you few of my favorite things like summer, kittens, art and many others. This song tells us that if we feel bad or afraid of something, we should think of this things, things that you like or beautiful things. It will help you a lot.

You can see how it works by the movie, the sound of music, where it is from. It was in the stormy night and the children were afraid of the thunders so they ran to Maria’s, their baby sitter, room. Maria sang the song of her favorite things to them. She said that she did it when she felt bad or sad. Then the children enjoy dancing among the song and completely forgot about the thunder and the lightning.

I choose this song because it was in my all time favorite movies, “The sound of music” and I like the meaning of the song. At first, I did not want to sing this song because I think people will laugh at me and it was very old. I tried to find the new songs but I did not like anyone and some of them were too hard for me to sing. So, I came back to this song again and told myself that it is no matter if they laugh at you because it is what you are.
