A song that sounds familiar but isn't

A couple of weeks ago I did a marathon of Studio Ghibli movies, including Kiki, The Cat Returns , many others and Howl's Moving Castle, this last movie itself is beautiful, the animation is fascinating and the characters are very lovable, but one  of the things that caught my attention the most is the main song of the movie called Merry go round life, I don't know much about music in terms of composition, but I think the melody of the song is beautiful, nostalgic and sentimental; and another thing that caught my attention is that it sounded like a song that I had heard before but  the true is that it I never heard that song in my life.

Like any curious person, I resorted to the inevitable help of the internet, more specifically  YouTube, and in the comments of the video of the song, many users shared my same experience, they believed that they had heard this song before, there were even several comments that said that their grandparents told them that they listened to this song and danced to it when they were young, this movie is from 2004, this phenomenon seems crazy to me, how is it possible that a group of people feel that they already know this song?

Looking for explanations for this phenomenon, I came to the conclusion that this feeling that we are listening to something familiar has a direct connection with the film. To get to the meaning of the film, you have to go through a labyrinth and reflect on life itself, life is a carousel.

Life goes round and round and there are some cycles we are destined to repeat, one of the conclusions I found on the internet is that life is a journey that ultimately does not go to any certain place, but new journeys always have the opportunity to end up somewhere happier and we can find a better place. I think the song is a metaphor of our past lives and we will always find something to remind us where we are from and who we were.

“Life is like a Merry go round”

PS: I know that what I'm talking about is a bit confusing, and I might sound like a crazy old woman, but I recommend watch the movie and listen to the song, join this cult that is nuts for thinking that they had already heard a song that we haven’t really heard before.

Rules: Post a picture of your self sim and answer these questions, then tag some friends.

The uh.. rules don’t say how many people to tag so I’m just gonna tag a whole bunch of you guys LOL! 

Favorite season: Fall is my first favorite, Winter is my second favorite, and Spring is my third favorite! I love Fall because APPLES and Samhain! Samhain is my most favorite holiday~ And Apple Cider and anything Apple is my favorite food ever!!! And I love Winter and Spring because that’s my second and third favorite holidays (Yule and Beltane). I also prefer when weather is cool or cold because I like being wrapped in a blanket 24/7. Summer is the only season I don’t like all too much, but there are still things I like about it. Though I can only really enjoy Summer during the night time. The sun during the day in Summer is way too intense. 

Favorite books/author: For starters, I love every version of Cinderella there is. It’s my favorite fairy tale~ I also have a few top favorite series, they are:  Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale by Holly Black (and it’s sequels, this is a trilogy)  Lament: The Faerie Queen’s Deception by Maggie Stiefvater (also a series)  Warriors by Erin Hunter (yes, that series about cats, that is my childhood LOL)  A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (also my childhood <3)  Cinder: The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (The Lunar Chronicles is the series’s name, it’s got quite a few books in the series and is a sci-fi version of multiple fairy tales mixed into one story, I’m on the second book now titled Scarlet and I’m IN LOVE with this series).  aaaand I also really like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer... You’ve probably already heard of those...  >.>;  When it comes to fictional stories I prefer series over singular books because I get to spend more time loving all the characters in it. This is also why I love tv shows or cartoon/anime series more than movies (aside from Disney princesses of course! I love all the princesses!!) <3 

Favorite song: I don’t have just one, I have a couple of them! Hello, How Are You is one of my favorites because I relate to it so much. The lyrics are the perfect description of my anxiety/depression battles. ╥﹏╥  This is my favorite English cover of that song 

Merry Go Round of Life is a favorite because Howl’s Moving Castle is my favorite movie (well, it’s tied with the 2015 Cinderella for fav movie), and this song is just so light and magical~ Also, Waltz is my favorite style of dance so I instantly love any song that’s in 3/4 or 6/8. ♡ 

Speaking of Cinderella, Lily James’s version of A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes is my favorite version of that song! 💖  Fire Escape is SO FREAKING CUTE and I get such happy vibes from this. It was in the Cats and Dogs trailer and I’ve been in love with it ever since I first heard it. Also the video for it is hilarious XD  PONPONPON is another song I love because of the happy vibes! （＾ｖ＾）

Wolf Whistling Song is adorable and random and the singer has an adorable accent and the song is from the point of view of an anime character that’s obsessed with apples and you should know by now that I’m obsessed with apples so this song just speaks to my soul 

Eternal is originally sung by Tanaka Rie, and it’s the theme song for the MMORPG that I’m addicted to (the game is Mabinogi btw). The version linked is one sung by Miku from when we had a Vocaloid crossover event! :D  This song is remixed for basically every big update the game gets and I love all the variations so much! I’ve been playing this game since I started high school so it’s always really nostalgic when I hear this song. XD  This is our original remix of that song tho~ 

Despacito makes me wet 

and if I had a theme song it would be this one mwuahahaha 

if you can’t tell i’m a major weeb haha 

Favorite food and drink: For drinks it’s tea and apple cider! For food, Apples and anything with Apple in it I LOVE, and I also love all baked goods (cookies, cakes, bread, pastries, etc.) For like not-desert food, I love Italian food the most~ But I also really love Mexican, Indian, and Japanese food too! 

Dogs or cats: KITTY!!! <3<3<3 

The following isn’t apart of the tag but now i just wanna talk about my little simself~ This is kind of an outdated look for me. Since I stopped getting highlights, my hair is closer to a light brown than it is to blonde now, and I’ve grown out my bangs and am working on growing my hair out to be long now! I also stopped straightening my hair. But 3 years ago this hairstyle was absolutely a perfect match to how I styled it IRL. :D 

Obviously I’m not a Fairy, LOL, but I’ve always been in love with Faeries so when I was playing with my sim self I made her a Fairy. I also just chose one of the fairy life time aspirations since there really isn’t a sims 3 aspiration that fits me very well. I’m currently working on a Sims 4 sim self and the “Leader of the Pack” aspiration fits me perfectly since I’m a guild leader on the MMORPG that I play, and that’s basically like leading a club, lel. 

If I ever get my Sims 3 up and running again I’ll probably make an updated version of my sim self with longer hair and I’d make her a witch instead of a fairy, since I’m practicing real witchcraft IRL now (I’m Wiccan/Pagan)    (∩^o^)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ 

ANYWAYS, if you’re interested I have my Sims 3 Sim Self put up on the Sims 3 Exchange. I know most people avoid the Exchange like the plague because of all the broken cc, but I can promise you that mine is safe to download, because I don’t even have cc downloaded on Sims 3 anymore! The last time I used cc was on my old computer. That stuff has never even been downloaded on this computer with all of my saves! All I have for Sims 3 now is a few basic nraas mods that are necessary to not have the game crapping out on itself all the time. So yea! If you trust me and are interested in binding my pixels to your will, then feel free to download me! HERE DA LINK  Just uh no re-uploads please and no claiming that my face is your creation (obviously) <3
