One of my guilty pleasure songs that I would normally never
admit to liking is "Hips Don’t Lie" by Shakira ft.Wyclef Jean, but
today I was looking for some music to really shake things up for myself and I’m
here to say, I love this song.
My musical tastes usually run the gamut from alternative rock
to classic rock to fizzy pop (I just made that up, but I think you know what I mean),
but there’s something about Shakira that just makes me want to rumba (I have no
idea what a rumba is).
Music and sex have always gone together. Sometimes a song
will just make you feel like rolling your hips and swinging your arms and
grinding the air, but don’t worry—no twerking here!
I just wanted to let some music wash through me and let my
body go without trying to be “sexy.” I’ve shied away from dancing to music that
might be construed by others as me trying to be sexy, but this song just makes
me feel good.
And what’s the point of life if we aren’t allowing ourselves
to feel good every now and then? Whatever good
means to us…
Goodness gracious, am I going to turn myself into a
feel-good guru? Like, I prescribe you to play a song every day that makes you
feel like time has stopped, that makes you want to let your body go completely,
that makes you want to dance and sing and laugh!
Yes! That is exactly what I prescribe. Get up and dance (and
as you can see, you do not have to be able to “dance”; I most decidedly don’t
move like I come from Columbia, rather like I come from some small CT suburb)!
Just get up and move!
