The Scarecrow "Pure Imagination"

"Pure Imagination"- Willy Wonka

Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world
Of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

The song that I have chosen is called "Pure Imagination" In this version of the song the person singing is Fiona Apple. This song has been covered by many but it is mainly known for the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" which I believe it was originally made for. It’s a fantastic song! Magical, childish, catchy, Beautiful! I love this song and I feel that even though the video I chose is advertising for Chipotle that it really tells the story and meaning of the song. This song talks about a world that many of us forget about. The older we grow the less imagination we have and the more we begin to settle for whatever we can get. The music and the lyrics of this song go hand on hand. The song is whimsical and kind of takes you into a trance of “pure imagination”. Personally every time I listen to this song I forget about my surroundings and start imagining a world in which everything is possible. “Pure Imagination” is a fantastic song and it tells the listener that you can make the world or whatever situation you might find yourself in currently into something positive but only if you let your imagination run wild and come to life. The scarecrow in the movie after being extremely saddened with the fakeness all around the world is inspired to do something good. In the scarecrows case it involved real, healthier and fresher food. This song inspires hope and reminds you to never let your imagination die because without it we’d live in a boring unhappy world.
