¡Feliz cumpleaños! • "Breaking Free", a year thence • A message
Happy birthday, RA-RA ra912! Hope you had a good one! Gosh, we're all so old already!

It's been more than a year since the first High School Musical movie came out. I laugh at how profoundly I was affected by a seemingly shallow preteen movie. Thanks to it, I'm playing the piano now. It's something I've always wanted to do ever since I knew that music had a special place in my heart [ /queso].
Naturally, the first pop song that I intended to master was the accompaniment to "Breaking Free". Heck, I was even able to perform it live, in front of an audience, together with my blockmate Erika akireslich. I never thought that would ever happen. But it did. It's amazing what inspiration can do. It can actually make dreams come true.
I can play "You Are the Music in Me" now. I don't have the sheet music so I just based my arrangement off of guitar chords and the actual song. Someone's going to sing it with me soon, too. *nudge*
I actually haven't seen the sequel yet. But I get the impression that it lacks the magic of the original. The first was raw, simple. This new one's all summery and party time. But I'll give it a chance and try to get around to watching it one of these days.
Anyway... The worldwide success of the movie prompted the translation of the main theme into many languages: Spanish, French, Italian, you name it. But I thought I'd just share this version. This is the Polish version and it, in my opinion, is the best of all the adaptations of "Breaking Free" there are out there. It gave me goosebumps. Both of the singers are incredibly talented. I really love how they worked the song, staying faithful to the original but giving it their own twist (those ad libs are awesome!).
So, yeah. I think it's great, despite the fact that I can't understand a word they're saying, hehe. Below's a link to the video on YouTube.

I was right about you... It's almost completely consumed you already. You even said it yourself, proving me right. We are not worthy...
