I am required to take part in weekly repertoire checks during my supervision time. Often my supervisors will request particular songs or types of songs for me to bring to my repertoire check. This last week, my supervisors requested I bring in a song that reflected how I am currently feeling.
The song I chose to bring in was “That Funny Feeling” by Bo Burnam. To me, the song reflected the complicated way I have been feeling during this time of change with all that is happening in my life and in the world around me. As the song is very specific to what the writer was feeling, my supervisors requested that I rewrite the song about how I feel. I recently brought my version of the song to my supervision this week. My supervisors encouraged me to share this version with all of you as my blog post this week.
That Funny Feeling (Lillian’s Version)
Showing a patient how to use the guitar tabs app.
Getting Starbuck’s coffee when you feel like crap.
Turing Red’s self-awareness, loving parents, no time for fun.
The ending of your internship means the rest of life has begun.
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
Working on my final project, trying to keep up the pace.
Looking at Shein Dresses, imagining what’s to come.
But COVID meanders, no clear answers, possible war.
The whole world at your fingertips, but you can find the answers you’re looking for.
Encantos everywhere, learning to sing with gusto.
Almost five years of this, a couple more weeks to go.
People get fired, Getting tired, Unfair decrees.
My issues seem so small yet so big to me.
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
Reading TikTok’s terms of service, going for a drive.
Driving aimlessly, not knowing what you’ll find.
Full Atychiphobic, just keep your focus, won’t be disowned.
A book on getting better from your supervisors on loan.
Feeling nothing and everything at the same time.
Googling jobs, being overwhelmed with what you find.
That warmth of spring breathing through the winter air.
The realizations of the changes there.
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
Hey, what can you say? We were overdue
But internship’s over soon, you wait
Hey, what can you say? We were overdue
But internship’s over soon, just wait
Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-dum
