I have realised that I never did a roundup post for the FFF before I left, and given that today is a Monday, I decided to do it today. This week(!) there are five superb entries to take a look at, based on Christina Aguilera’s Say Something.

Ritu from But I Smile Anyway… – ‘Say Something’-FFF36 #Flashfiction – Ritu’s piece was imbued with a lot of emotion, and perfectly caught the song’s mournful tone

Curtis Bausse – Flash Fiction – Say Something – a lighter take from Curtis as a part of a more humorous interpretation of the song

Sheldon Kleeman – FFF36 Something – a touching piece which really reflected the isolation that Aguilera conveys

Kritsa Yvonne – Flash Fiction – Say Something – Yvonne portrayed a beautiful outline of the rise and fall of a relationship

A thank you goes out to fellow blogger and friend, Lisa, for nominating me for this fun challenge. The rules are:
Post a song a day for five consecutive days.
Post what the lyrics mean to you. (Optional)
Post the name of the song and video.
Nominate 1 or 2 bloggers each day of the challenge.

Today I shall leave you with the song from another true legend!

Bob Marley, and Three Little Birds.

This is a song full of hope and positivity. I know he was round long before, but I didn’t really get into his music until I went to university. And it was wonderful that Lil Princess, in her reception class at age 4, used to sing this together with her friends, as her teacher used to play it as a tidy up and calm down sing!

Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing’ don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright

And on this last day I would like to invite anyone who would like to join in, to post a song a day for 5 days, following the instructions above!
