What is life if not unpredictable? No matter how much we strive for stability and routine, life has a way of shocking us out of the blue. Years ago, music icon Frank Sinatra reminisced about one bittersweet reality of life: Nothing is safe from change and life defies predictability. In the chartbuster That’s Life, he presents his fans with a grim truth - life doesn’t happen the way we want it to, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t cherish it. Song Lyric Of The Day By Frank SinatraOne of the most hard-hitting lyrics of the song goes as follows: “That's life (that's life)That's what all the people sayYou're riding high in April, shot down in MayBut I know I'm gonna change that tuneWhen I'm back on top, back on top in June..”The song celebrates that life is beyond all our best-laid plans and even though it may not materialise the way we want it to, doesn’t make it any less precious. Decoding The LyricsDespite sharing a bitter truth - life doesn’t always adhere to our wishes or carefully drafted plans, the ultimate message behind the lyrics is undoubtedly positive and uplifting: Even if we face disappointments or setbacks in life, doesn’t mean we should lose hope or become a bitter pessimist. Another part of the song encourages people to meet challenges head-on and not give up even if they face one hardship after the other. The lyrics go like this: “I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poetA pawn and a kingI've been up and down and over and outAnd I know one thingEach time I find myselfFlat on my faceI pick myself up and getBack in the race..”A Look At The History Of This Hit SongThat's Life is a well-known track composed by Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon, originally recorded in 1963 by Marion Montgomery.
