Toy Story (Yep, the movie) has a perfect parallel to how most of us have felt.


Recommended Posts

I was watching Toy Story with my niece and nephews and when the song Strange Things came on. It was like a gut punch/wow that's a great use of analogy. See if this isn't how a lot of us feel/have felt!

 

Strange Things by Randy Newman

 

I was on top of the world, living high

It was right in my pocket

I was living the life

Things were just the way they should be

 

When from out of the sky like a bomb comes some little punk in a rocket

Now all of a sudden some strange things are happening to me

 

I had friends

I had lots of friends

Now all my friends are gone

And I'm doing the best I can to carry on

 

I had power (power)

I was respected (respect)

But not any more

And I've lost the love of the one whom I adored

 

Let me tell you about the strange things are happening to me

Strange things

Strange things are happening to me

Ain't no doubt about it

 

You got someone you think you know well

It turns out a stranger

The minute you turn your back

You're in it all by yourself

 

They laugh at your jokes

You think you're doing quite well

But you're in danger, boy

You end up alone, forgotten, way up on the shelf

 

Strange things are happening to me

Strange things

Strange things are happening to me

Ain't no doubt about it
