Do yourself a damn favour by throwing on some sweats, pick up a pint of ice cream or whatever you want and cozy up with ‘Sing Street’ which is a new feel good musical on Netflix that scored a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.
In a dead end town where kids only aspirations are heavy drinking and watching day time TV, a 14 year old Conor is smacked in the face by hope and wonder. It comes in the face of the uber cool, beautiful and mysterious teen model, Raphina. For the sole purpose of winning an audience with her, Conor starts a band and the rest is well, just a great movie.
On his way out, Conor sings about his life like it was a stolen car:
- This is your life
- You can go anywhere
- You gotta grab the wheel and own it
- This is your life
- You can be anything
- You gotta learn to rock and roll it
- You gotta put the pedal down
- And drive it like you stole it
- We get stuck in the dirt
- And we can’t see where we’re going
- We face all kinds of hurt
- And the friction slows us down
- But I won’t be waiting here for the world to win me gold
- And I’ll leave your dust behind me
- Stranded in the road
What are you waiting for, stuck in a rut of a job, pouring yourself out where you’re not getting appreciated or compensated nearly enough? This is your life. You’ve got to drive it like you stole it or stay where you are.
