Just a Girl
Just a Girl by No Doubt is one of my favorite songs from the 90s. It reminds me of the good ol’ days watching music videos on MTV. Now, we have YouTube, haha! To this day, Tragic Kingdom is still one of my favorite albums! I actually listened to it a lot this past summer when I was floating around in the pool or out for a jog. It’s just right for all of those summertime vibes.
Just a Girl is an anthem for girls everywhere, so I knew it was the perfect choice for an "all me" trombone quartet. It’s a great girl power song! I wanted to include the lyrics down below, so just incase you haven't heard this song before, you can see why I picked it. I just love these lyrics by Gwen Stefani.
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed and it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand?
This world is forcing me to hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, oh, little old me
Well, don't let me out of your sight
Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh, I've had it up to here
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons for me to run and hide
I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things that I fear
'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive late at night
Oh, I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare with their eyes
Oh, I'm just a girl, take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh, I've had it up to here
Oh, am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world
That's all that you'll let me be
Oh, I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome
Oh, I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to is making me numb
Oh, I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
Oh, I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum, there's no comparison
Oh, I've had it up to
Oh, I've had it up to
Oh, I've had it up to here
On another note, This video is my green screen debut! I had a blast picking out all of these super girly pink backgrounds to go with the song. I actually don't really like pink, but I wanted to play up the theme. I am excited to improve my green screen skills in the future and see all that it can do!

This green screen is awesome because it also came with 2 studio lights! I am very happy to up my production level on my videos. I finally have good lighting, haha! Good lighting is SO important when making videos, livestreams or on Zoom calls as I sure you have all gotten to know this year!
I hope you enjoy the video and take care, everyone!
