On my way to work, erykah badu's, "Window Seat" came on my ipod & that walk to work was the most emotional walk to work i could ever dream of. I felt as if Erykah Was singing to me, in the song. I felt as if I understood everything she was trying to convey. Erykah Badu’s, “Window Seat”, definitely could Erykah Badu’s, “Window Seat”, definitely could take on a various number of different meanings. This song stands for nonconformity, eccentricity, rebellion, and voicing your feelings no matter how people feel about them. I identify with this song so strongly because it reminds me of the time I quit the basketball team, and spoke up to the coach.
To most of my teammates, I was a “sell-out”, to my coach; I was a failure. My parents supported it, but even then it seemed as if they didn’t understand why I quit the team. When I quit it wasn’t epic, or it wasn’t put in the newspaper because most rebellions go unknown. My goal wasn’t to make any sort of statement, but just to free myself from the chains that came with being on the basketball team. The only impact was that I was able to be as an inspiration to a fellow teammate, because he decided to quit too. From the start, rebelling looked impossible but low and behold, not only did I make it but I made it. This sense of rebellion really gave me inner peace, and I grew during the process. on a various number of different meanings.I feel as if, This song stands for nonconformity, eccentricity, rebellion, and voicing your feelings no matter how people feel about them.

My basketball coach's attitude resembled a mild hitler on a power trip to control a group of high school kids. He would make players feel less tan human, if they made a mistake. Tis scare tactic proved to be a failure, because players stopped getting better.
