Our Own House by Misterwives
I love this song because to me it sounds like the singer is following her
passions to create her “own house.” In my interpretation, her “house” represents a passion
project. The singer then follows this project to create her own original path in life. This song
inspires me to follow my own passions - even if they stray from the “norm”!
Shake it Out by Florence and the Machine
This song is all about preserving through difficult times and ultimately them off and continuing
on a more positive path. While obstacles and difficulties can provide amazing opportunities to
learn new skills, they can also be the sources of self doubt. This song reminds me to take the
lesson but shake out the self doubts. It also has some amazing vocals too!
Cheerleader by Omi
This song is upbeat and positive. It’s all about feeling supported and
excited by the people around you. I would like to continue to bring this
enthusiastic energy of supporting others to my future projects and events
with Move for America.
