kshh I love how Moon Moon Moon tells a story in his songs and makes important points -- and this one is about being true to your own self in Disney style. What's not to love?

about

- Meaning of the song -
I was/am a huge Emma Stone fan and was often reading things about her life online. I came across a story of Emma giving a Powerpoint presentation to her parents to prove that she was destined to be an actress. After reading this I always kept it in the back of my mind wherever I went. It was a big motivation for me to follow my dreams and try to stand for what I wanted to stand for. Though, I always wondered what exactly stood in that Powerpoint.

- Disney music -
For three months I binged on Disney and some musical soundtracks and during this time I started recording this song. Wherever I went, I was listening to Disney music. On the train I was coming up with new magical harmonies, at the mall I was thinking of ways to add sparks to the song and as I fell asleep the Disney’s Frozen soundtrack played in my head.

- Inspiration -
The soundtracks from Frozen, Moana, La La Land, Harry Potter & Beauty and the Beast.

lyrics

Friday dinner at Landall’s house
He is my best friend, we were eating steak

I was too afraid to say that I did not eat meat
so I just ate

And I wanted to cry
It happens every time I start to try
To explain something, oh

Two Mercedes in the driveway, I
came there on my old bike that rainy afternoon

I think that his father thinks that
I’m the weirdest kid. "Why won’t you get your driver's license?"

Explaining, how I tried!
But something in me breaks every single time
I can’t do it alone
I need the Powerpoint of Emma Stone
Oh, Emma won’t you make them see
That I’m not an idiot, I wish I’d be
And through the rain on my bike, I went back home

Two days later I was sick and dying
Feeling weak and lying in my bed
Thought ‘bout how some things don’t work out
And wondered what it was that Emma said

To her parents that day
That had convinced them to move to L.A.

I am not in love with Emma Stone
Although most of my phone is filled with her
I just think that she's the weirdest thing
She makes my life less cringeworthy and much less lonely

And on those dinner nights
I think of Emma and her laptop light
Shining on me from above
I need the powerpoint of Emma Stone
Oh Emma, won’t you make them know
That I’m not an idiot, although,
I’m lying in my bed with the flue and protein lacking salade.

If I’d project myself on things I see
So instead of Emma, it’d be me in her position
I would’ve, just like her, moved to L.A.
But the movies that I’d play in would be different
Octoman 3 and rip-offs of Godzilla
Stand ins for cheap thrillers, oh it’s the saddest truth

But I don’t give a fuck
Whatever I will do Emma has my back
She says: “It’s not about what's smart
It is about what you want in your heart
And I am gonna make them see
That you’re not an idiot. Don’t you worry love”
