Did you guys know that Elton John wrote “Candle in the Wind” about Marilyn Monroe? She was such a strong soul. 

Candle in the Wind By Elton John

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

Her official website describes her life and legend the most succinctly: “A global sensation in her lifetime, Marilyn’s popularity has extended beyond star status to icon. Today, the name ‘Marilyn Monroe’ is synonymous with beauty, sensuality and effervescence. She remains an inspiration to all who strive to overcome personal obstacles for the goal of achieving greatness.” But what does Ms. Monroe say about herself and the life she lived?

“We are sent by God to lift up Jesus Christ, not to give wonderfully beautiful discourses. We have to probe straight down as deeply as God has probed us, to be keen in sensing the Scriptures which bring the truth straight home and to apply them fearlessly.”
— Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest

“Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ died. If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is a farce, there was no need for it. What the world needs is not “a little bit of love,” but a surgical operation.”
— Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest

I See the Light - Tangled Soundtrack (Mandy Moore & Zachary Levi)

Not gonna lie, this song, combined with the visuals of the particular scene it’s in, made me cry, especially at the chorus duet at 2:39. :’) Disney has done it again.

just had to post this asap.
