Tuney Tuesday #11: What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) [Kelly Clarkson]

Hey guys,

It's time for Tuney Tuesday number 11!!!! :D



Here are the rules:
Tuney Tuesdays is a weekly meme that Eileen at  ***Singing and Reading in the Rain***  and I at J.A.Y.A.! host. It's really easy! Just:

  • Once a week, on Tuesday, choose a song that you might be really into that particular week.
  • Include a video/cover art for that single if there is one (or the button for Tuney Tuesdays that I've made up. I'll put it later in the post.) 
  • Include the lyrics
  • Write what you like about it in a review. Or write a few sentences about how it inspires you. Or how it relates to a book that you've been reading.
  • If you don't want to do your own song, you can use one of the songs that Eileen at ***Singing and Reading in the Rain*** or I have done for this week.


So the song I chose to do this week is What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) by Kelly Clarkson. I chose this song because (1) I thought it was fitting after the week I had, and (2) I LOVE THIS SONG! Kelly Clarkson, our first American Idol, is so amazing on so many levels. Not only is her voice incredible, but she's another artist that I can proudly say is one of my role models. I love that she is happy with her body, her voice, her life ... everything. What an inspiration. Even with the success she's had in this last decade, she's still the same down-to-earth person, and I think that's so admirable! I wish more celebrities who found "over-night fame" would take notes from Ms. Clarkson.  
What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) is about staying strong even if a relationship ends badly; it may hurt at first, but you can only learn from it, and things can get better. I like to apply that to my own life (especially while I'm still "playing" the querying "game"). I feel like I'm only getting better and better the more I send out queries and get feedback (even if 99% of that feedback is some kind of form rejection), and more importantly I feel like I'm becoming a better writer too!





Lyrics courtesy of azlyrics.com:
You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me

Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new

They told you I was moving on, over you

You didn't think that I'd come back

I'd come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started

Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone  

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone 




That's all for this Tuesday folks! Until next time! :)

X <3 O
