World's Greatest

A song that is deeply moving and emotional for me is The World’s Greatest by R. Kelly. In order for a piece to be deeply moving, you have to have a connection to the song. When I hear this song, I am deeply moved. I can connect to this song in a way that words cannot describe. Although the melody is soft and meek sounding, it is very intense and filled with passion, making the song much more powerful. It is truly inspiring because it sends the message to never give up on your goals and most importantly yourself. Believing in yourself is listening to your heart and never letting anyone put you or your dreams down. The power of will and determination will conquer all the obstacles and negativity in your life, allowing you to accomplish your dreams. This song inspires you to try harder when you are down and be the best you can. This song gives you hope and confidence, which is even seen through the music itself. There is an idiophone that sounds like the sun rising or light passing through, signifying that you can be the best After putting my emotions into words, I finally realized how much it relates to my life. I associate with a very emotional past experience. I was once a competitive gymnast with a dream to go to the Olympics. When I hear this song, I visualize the endless days at the gym, and the hard practices that made me want to give it all up but most importantly my determination and hard work that made me get so far in my career. Although I was a ranked national gymnast training at a close to Olympic level, there were people who still did not believe in me. Unfortunately I had to quit due to back and wrist injuries, but looking back, when I would be down on myself because I couldn’t take the pressure anymore, wanted to give up, or people didn’t believe in me, I would listen to this song and it would always make me reflect on my life’s goals and give me inspiration to work even harder and believe in myself. Now, when I hear this song it reminds me of this past experience. This song gave me hope and the confidence I needed to try my hardest and believe in myself when I thought I couldn’t do it anymore. It gave me courage to believe that I could be the best, even the world’s greatest.
