The Model by Kraftwerk - feel fabulous in your own skin & explore a weird idea - #songoftheweek by The Singing Psychic


Hello my dears. I am The Singing Psychic and a happy day to you today.
Yes here I am giving you the #SongOfTheWeek for you to hold in your heart for the next seven days of your life. Yes. This is the song to guide you and to listen to every morning as you get ready for the day and at the end of every day.
I want you to imbue this and the song is ‘The Model by Kraftwerk


’She is a model and she's looking good’

Yes this is a legendary Kraftwerk song it was released in 1978.
Yes. In German as Das Model and then in UK in English,
in 1981, it was a pioneer of early electronic music with the keyboards.
This song really is one of the reasons we have now dance music. in the form we have, we have a legendary, legendary song here, but what does this mean for us as we think about it?

He goes on to say
She is a model and she's looking good ‘I'd like to take her home. That's understood dum dum’,
‘she plays hard to get she smiles from time to time’.

Now in a world of Tinder and of course post lockdown or part post lockdown as we all come out in different stages. I know we're all desperate to go out and maybe not play so hard to get,
but the meanings for me are

1). Do you feel good about your life? Do you feel good about your own health and beauty?
This is not a definition of one kind of beauty. We all have people in our Lives who have lots of different beautiful body shapes. And I know many people that I know, especially the men have really put on a bit of weight of lockdown. And everyone is looking at their ass is going. Is this too much junk in my trunk?

Now only you get to decide, there's no one way of beauty.
So the question is ‘Are you doing what you need to feel gorgeous to feel sexy’
It is not about a body weight, you know, once beauty is not altered by the level of fat we have,
but if you're feeling strong and healthy.
So if you're not Feeling great.
Get down the gym. Go for a walk. Let's start getting out there now.
We're all able to get out.

Meaning, number two. This is as I said, a legendary song. This song really started very early pioneer of electronic music with the keyboards.
If you go and listen, have a look at the Das Model 1978 Kraftwerk

What it is, is if you could choose to do anything in your life right now, anything at all, you know, keep a roof over your head and be happy and support the people that you support.
Yes. What is the dream? What would you do?

When these people were inventing keyboards and playing with all this stuff and this original Kraftwerk song, then it's they really stepped into a new way of music.

What can you do? What do you want to do that everyone thinks is a little crazy, right?
I remember when I first came out as The Singing Psychic people would say this is insane. And in fact,
my very first review which I love ‘Totally Bonkers in a good way, 5 Stars’ about me. I go with that but I don't think I'm Bonkers. I know I'm completely fabulous.

Yes. So where do you want to step up and do something original,

The 3rd thing, I'd like to say about the model song is of course it was also an early early,
purveyor of the Instagram.
‘It only takes a camera to change her mind.
She's posing for Consumer products now and then, for every camera.
She gives the best she can.’


My favorite lyric actually is
‘she's going out tonight.
Loves drinking just champagne’.

Love this lyric. I did it for a long time.
I like my vodka. I am Polish obviously. I do love my vodka and I love my wine,
but most of my evenings when I'm out. I love drinking just champagne.
I didn't used to even know Prosecco existed.

Anyway, moving on. So I want you to every morning, to wake up, sing this song first thing.
And this lyric, this first lyric, ‘she is a model and she's looking good’.
I want you to think that's about yourself.

You get up and strut in the mirror. Love yourself and do what you need to feel fabulous about yourself,
okay?
Doom-doom doom-doom, doom-doom doom-doom.
