Elements of Art Journaling: Fire, the Playlist

The writing part of the Fire assignment was to think of an emotion that burns in us, follow that to what it's telling us to do, and then think about how we would need to feel to take that step. Once the feeling was identified, we were to create a playlist of songs about an hour long to be the soundtrack for creating our abstract-art representations of that feeling.

I went round and round with myself on whether these songs really represented the inner feeling I would need to have to get my butt in motion, or if they were just songs I like to belt out when no one is around. I'm still not sure.

Here's my playlist:

• Beautiful - Christina Aguillera
  
• I Am Who I Am - Lara Fabian
  
• F**kin Perfect - P!nk
  
• Someday - Mariah Carey
  
• Shine - Anna Nalick
  
• I Am Woman - Helen Reddy
  
• Glitter In The Air - P!nk (The most beautiful performance I think I've ever seen.)
  
• The Way He Makes Me Feel - Barbra Streisand (Marilyn and Alan Bergman... Songwriting geniuses!)
  
• Out Here On My Own - Irene Cara
  
• Funny That Way - Melissa Manchester (Couldn't find the whole thing online, but the clip at Amazon is exactly my favorite line.)
  
• Flashdance - Irene Cara
  
• I Will Love Again - Lara Fabian
  
• Thank You For The Music - Amanda Seyfried
  
• Home To Myself - Melissa Manchester
  
• Breathe (2 AM) - Anna Nalick
  
• Perdere L'amore - Lara Fabian (This album was the only thing on one of the in-flight-entertainment channels, and I listened to it ALL the way home from Europe just to hear this song again and again. It always makes me cry.)
