This absolutely fab dance rendition of the tango by Gotan Project gets me moving like a crazy woman in my bedroom all the time. Yes, this is the song of the famous part in the movie Shall We Dance where Richard Gere and JLo hit the dance floor passionately. I can't get over the song itself though, I can do without the movie, but the beat just gets to me everytime. The essence of the traditional tango is still there. I like how they added stuff to it just to make it more up to date and edgy without sacrificing the originality of the tango.

I've been saving music and it turns out, the soundtrack of Narnia is really nice. With songs by Steven Curtis Chapman and Rebecca St. James, Jars of Clay and more, I think God had His very good and perfect reasons for the Narnia movie hitting theaters and touching kids and adults alike.

Significantly and unexpectedly, Alanis Morisette joins this ensemble of musical talent in the soundtrack and it's the song that SHE sings, that impacts me the most. Yes Alanis, the so-called angsty girl we heard several years ago in the album Jagged Little Pill, where she honestly and explicitly told those listening us how "Ironic" life really is. Of all the artists in the soundtrack, siya pa diba?

The song she sings in the Narnia soundtrack is called Wunderkind. The word is German and means Miracle Child.

The power in the words of this song and I believe the miracle seed that is at work in the heart of Alanis after being chosen to sing this is real. I don't mean to sound in over my head, but I believe this song is really speaking strongly to young women coz of the "princess" lines, not that it's not for guys pero siguro dahil si alanis kumanta at dahil sa mga ibang words. Like Lucy and Susan in Narnia...you'll just never find out you're an heir until you open that wardrobe door with whatever faith you have big or small.

Destined to serve, destined to roam.

Wunderkinder Sie und ich sind. Wonder children you and I are.

Hitler probably thought the same, nag overboard lang siya in the wrong direction and under the wrong king.

Check out Wunderkind's lyrics below.

Wunderkind

Oh perilous place walk backwards toward you
Blink disbelieving eyes chilled to the bone
Most visibly brave no apprehended gloom
First to take this foot to virgin snow

(ok a friend asked if I could interpret this and the 2nd verse coz deep daw si Alanis which makes her cool all the more noh.natawa siya kasi parang tama nga daw pero funny daw how I get it. as far as I know:
1st line naka pasok sila sa isang dangerous place,
2nd line tulalaan, nalalamigan, natural kasi hello mommy it's isnowing in my cabinet sure ka hindi to yung freezer natin?!,
3rd line wala PA silang kinatatakutan dahil wala pa silang alam in short ignorance is bliss,
4th line 1st time pag experience ng snow ng Narnia ang pag apak nilang apat, there's a first time for everything, hence the word virgin, like a virgin, touched for the very first time...)

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
And I lift the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to serve, destined to roam

Oh ominous place spellbound and unchild-proofed
My least favorite chill to bare alone
Compatriots in place they'd cringe if I told you
Our best back-pocket secret our bond full-blown

(1st line Basta tungkol sa Narnia, may magic and hindi daw childproofed obviouslee!...nakapasok sila diba!?
2nd line the more the merrier, buti nalang apat kami
3rd line Medyo mahirap toh but I think it means yung mga kasama niya medyo ayaw sabihin pero medyo happy na silang magkapatid kasi alam na nilang heirs sila pero at the same time nahihiya pa silang umamin sa iba,
4th line the idea of that is their "bond full blown", bali todong close sila all the more with that idea na kings and queens sila)

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a pioneer naive enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to seek, destined to know

Most beautiful place reborn and blown off roof
My view about-face whether great will be done

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a ground-breaker naive enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a Joan of Arc and smart enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
