Unique

In Whitney's final album, there is a revival theme. But because of addiction and perhaps depression, both she and her daughter passed before their time. Yet the hope of life is there in the art which survives with us who can still enjoy the music and the poetry.

Despite that some do not make it after a hard time (no matter the source of the hardship), their song, their hope and their love (no matter how imperfect) is truth. For it is the projection of our will that causes us to hope, to believe and to love. Whether what is done has wide financial, social or moral effect is not important, because all our lives are finite (famous or not). And any chance of leaving behind meaning is a legacy in the minds and hearts of humans of another generation.

For me, this music has inspired despite that the resonance of Whitney's voice at her peak has passed. The spirit was revived while she sang.

The 2 songs titles are antithesis to each other. The top one says "You'll never be alone" but the bottom one says "On my own" but both are uplifting. How can being alone be both good and bad.

I believe resolving our state of loneliness is the point of life. Maybe our first cry for air, for an embrace, for the source of life is because we feel alone for the first time. We fear death because we must face that moment alone.

In our lifetime, passion can push us to risky, untried ways of living, working, creating, expressing.... Such pioneering implies going on a journey by oneself. On my own. Alone. Unique.

And if you don't
Know by now I cant go back
To being someone else
Not anymore
I never had the chance
To do things my way
So now it's time
For me to take control
And I am not afraid
To try it on my own
I don't care
If I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what
I'm gonna keep it real, you know
Time for me to do it on my own
