One year ago today

Crosby scored the winning goal
And all of Canada cried
What a lovely day today
Just kidding.
It’s overcast and there’s new snow on the ground
Just when you think it’s gone
Bam! It comes back
Awesome possum

30 Songs in 30 Days - Day 7

I don’t know if this is cheating a little because this event didn’t happen to me personally, but I figure that rules were made so they could be broken ;)

A Song That Reminds You of a Certain Event

I Believe (English Version) by Nikki Yanofsky

This is the moment we have dreamed of all our lives/We’ll be the change we wish from others/We’ll stand tall for what is right

As the theme song of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, this song fittingly reminds me of that event. Like the song says, it brought together the world for one fantastic Winter Games that resulted in some record breaking for Canada, the most memorable gold medal game for hockey and an emotional first gold medal. There were so many athletes thrust into the spotlight, and not just Canadians. Sure, there was Alexandre Biladeau and Joannie Rochette and Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue from Canada, but there was Kim Yu-Na of South Korea and Evan Lysachek of the United States. Underdogs shone and exceeded expectations, and I think that’s a lot of what the Olympics are about, of showcasing what you’ve got and being proud of them. I’ll never forget how much I enjoyed the Olympics and because of Nikki Yanofsky, this song will always remind me of them.
