Them Song of Olivia

The final assignment I chose was one that included my character for the semester. This assignment was the last 3 stars that I needed to complete the 10 stars for the week. The assignment was to find a theme song from a tv show, and explain how it can be about my character. I thought this would be good to better show the depth of the character. The theme song I had to choose was from Drake and Josh. The song is called I found a way. Here is the video so you can watch and get a feel for it.

So you can also read the lyrics, here they are:

[Verse 1]
Well, I never thought that it be so simple, but
I found a way, I found a way
And I always thought that it’d be too crazy, but
I found a way, I found a way
[Pre-Chorus]
If you open up your mind
See what’s inside
[Chorus]
It’s gonna take some time to realign
But if you look inside, I’m sure you’ll find
Over your shoulder you know that I told you
I’ll always be pickin’ you up when you’re down
So just turn around
[Verse 2]
Now that I know that anything’s possible
I found a way, I found a way
No one can break what is so unbreakable
I found a way, I found a way
[Pre-Chorus]
If you open up your mind
See what’s inside

[Chorus]
It’s gonna take some time, to realign
But if you look inside, I’m sure you’ll find
Over your shoulder you know that I told you
I’ll always be pickin’ you up when you’re down
So just turn around
[Verse 3]
No one cares
What you give
You know you gotta live like you wanna live
When it’s time
To be free
You know you gotta be what you wanna be
[Pre-Chorus]
If you open up your mind
See what’s inside
[Chorus]
It’s gonna take some time to realign
But if you look inside, I’m sure you’ll find
Over your shoulder you know that I told you
I’ll always be pickin’ you up when you’re down
So just turn around
Ooo

This song seems like it would speak to my character Olivia right away. It’s basically saying if you just actually look around and look at yourself, you have somebody who would do anything for you. It says that “I always thought I’d be too crazy” meaning he always thought something was wrong with him and people wouldn’t be friends with him. That’s the way Olivia feels. Even though she puts up this front that she thinks she is the best and everyone loves her, she actually thinks nobody does or ever will love/like her. It also says you need to live like you want to live not just live the way others want you to live. Olivia is always trying to do stuff that will make her parents happy and proud of her. But they have such high standards that most likely she will never be able to do either of those things.

Theme song Parody

Take the theme song of your favorite show and prioritize it around a specific character. As if it is being sang by or about him or her. What perspective do they have. If the theme song has no lyrics, make some up. It has to be to the tune of the show. Try to make it as unique to that character as you can. Most importantly have fun with it. Bonus points to whoever can do it in the characters voice.

P.S. I apologize for the example I can’t really sing and lost my voice due to a cold.
