My streams are titled off of anime that I’ve watched recently, and though this one, From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman was pretty average, it had an interestingly unique theme that I appreciated: It was the story of an “old” man who inherited his father’s dojo and continuously grappled with feelings of inferiority due to age and ability – while actually being the best swordsman in the land.
So it’s nominally a story of self discovery and growth, though that was kind of overshadowed by his antics building a harem and refusing to find a wife while periodically saving the country from certain doom. It was good, if not-isekai fantasy slop is what you’re into. Wouldn’t really recommend it to the uninitiated though.
Anyway, I do appreciate the idea that the wall is all in your head. I feel like I’m experiencing a similar thing in thinking that my abilities are lacking and will always be second rate due to my disability. But that doesn’t matter. If I like to sing and people like to hear me sing, isn’t that enough? Maybe one day I too will achieve the title of master Ukuleleman!
Here are some songs that stood out to me today:
- New Songs Attempted
- Tha Crossroards – Bone thugs N Harmony
- Hash Pipe – Weezer
- Don’t Get Around Much Anymore – Ella Fitzgerald
- Works in Progress
- Utu bang bang – Ka’ikena Scanlan
- Ironic – Alanis Morisette
- If You Could Only See – Tonic
- Learned Songs Revisited
- We didn’t start the fire – Billy Joel
- Lifetime Lover – J Boog
- It Had to Be You – Frank Sinatra
- Song of the Day: Under da Sea – The Little Mermaid
- Got this song in random request roulette and gave it a go. It’s a surprisingly fun song, and I think it came out pretty well. What more do I want out of a song of the day??
