“Come on, let’s go and play! I never see you anymore. Come out the door. It’s like you’ve gone away…”
What I like much about this song is the unending hope of the child, Anna, that someday their friendship with her sister will be restored. She always went to Elsa’s room to invite her to play with her. She was seen repeatedly going to her sister’s room but with no success. She always believed that her sister has had her reason although she insisted on marrying a guy she just met and venting at Elsa for why she wasn’t allowed to marry at her will despite what Elsa did to her all those years. Elsa eventually showed the whole crowd why she has been hiding away in her room. Ana understood at once and she didn’t give up pursuing her ran away sister until they finally managed to save their kingdom. Note that some tricks were done to let Anna forget about how her sister accidentally injured her while they were playing using Elsa’s magical powers involving snow/ice. Which is why she didn’t know why Elsa kept her distance from her for a long time even when their parents died.
In case you were confused by how I related some summary above, watch Frozen, if you’re interested. I’m not promoting anything. Just happened to be listening as my child repeatedly plays the song on Youtube. What I wanted with the song particularly is that we always have to understand each other no matter how seemingly rude another person is. Behind closed doors, behind locked gates, behind people’s indifference, there must be that something that is a reason for such thing.
Until now while I am writing this, I keep hearing the song. Yesterday, my child played Let it go song and now, this. Do you want to build a snowman? Do you? I would have wanted to but I have no way because there is no snow here. Only hail storm!
My daughter would play this song along with Let it to, You’re welcome, and many other Disney songs. But today, she is playing more of the snowman. Probably because Ana started as a child. You can’t deny the cuteness of the child in the movie.
I would get the phone from her so she won’t think that watching is okay even for long periods of time. Her eyes will be destroyed. Meanwhile though, I am letting her watch while I do some chores and write this one.
At this moment, no snow. Is there ever a chance that it will snow in the Philippines? I don’t think there ever will. It is raining right now. What could be built with rain? It’s not snow so there’s nothing built over rain but it will somehow water the plants and give water to the ricefields. This kind of rain I suppose is helpful to farmers. Hoping they could have a good harvest.
I am not sure if there was ever a time that I wished for snow but if ever I have the chance to experience storm, the first that I will be checking out would be the feel when snow is falling. Will it be extremely cold? Will it be a good experience apart from the white thing falling? Because if it will be extremely cold, honestly I would just be contented with the temperature we have here in the Philippines particularly here in Baguio. It may be cold here but a sweater and long pants will already save us from chills. Double jacket during ber-days and January and February.
I just read about avalanche somewhere and I don’t want to imagine how it could be. Good that it could somehow be predicted when it would come. Honestly though, I feel interested sometimes in these things even just reading about them. Not necessarily experiencing them.
I want to build a snowman if given the chance to go to other countries. But the chance of that happening given my current circumstances is close to zero… I am not willing to go the length of going abroad as I am satisfied where I am. So reading and imagining would suffice right now.
I wonder what song I would hear next after my daughter’s hears enough snowman. I’ll try to change it to A B C songs or wheels on the bus or twinkle twinkle. But we do sing those songs before we sleep. It will be much better if they play educational songs as well.
