Music really is good for the soul

Anyone that knows my son, knows that he is obsessed with the movie Wall-e. It's not only the movie he loves but the music from the film. E currently loves this song by Louis Armstrong "La Vie en Rose". I mean loves it! I have had to download the lyrics to learn and memorize this song for him. It's funny to me because they only use a short clip of the song in the movie but he loves it.

E likes for me to sing to him at night as he falls asleep and we have tossed Old McDonald out and moved in a more soulful song.  I am pretty sure he has an old soul inside of him. Either way, I like the change and that he is showing us his likes as well.

Here is a video clip of Louis Armstrong singing La Vie En Rose in 1959.

Here is the Wall-e movie clip where they use the La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong.

If you have never seen this movie check it out. It really is a great movie and for kids that don't speak or speak much, they really seem to enjoy it. Helps build thoughtful imagination.

Here are the lyrics to La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong if you are not familiar.

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And tho I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose. 

When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be la vie en rose.

You see, he is a soulful little boy. Music is actually very therapeutic for him and helps him calm down almost always. I hope you check the movie and music out,  at least for your kids. 

Thanks for following and have a blessed day.
