Chills

There is this one song that everytime I hear it, it gives me chills. The musicality, tone of voice, everything about this song just chills my bones.

The first time I heard this song was in Love & Basketball, which is still one of my favourite movies, I'm pretty sure I stopped breathing. The song fit the scene perfectly and I felt like I was in the movie. Then, when I heard it again on a TV show, it just immediately caught my attention again.

I'm not the type of person that lets too many people in on my life. I think only three people know what has gone on in my life. Two being my best friends and one is someone who, for some reason, I feel comfortable around and feel like I can be me (that's another story of its own). Not too many things can shake me up or rattle me. I'm very much in control of my own emotions, so it's surprising to me that this song can have such an impact on me.

The artist has so much passion and emotion when delivering the lyrics. I can't relate to the lyrics, but I feel as though through her song, I can feel what she's going through. I can feel her sadness.

That's the scene from Love & Basketball and the song starts about four and a half minutes later. Granted, I am not a fan of chick flicks, and this is pretty much a chick flick. A sports-based one, but yeah. I remember when I was playing basketball, I wanted to be like her.
