ROAR


 Listening to the Radio a song began to play—ROAR, by Katy Perry.  The chorus rang out: 

 I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a champion

Of course there’s the “eye”,…  and then the “ROAR”, … and then the “lion”, all a cryptic finger pointing to my recent January 5th post, The Eye of Africa and My Novels .   That was enough for me to check out Katy Perry’s wiki page: 

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984)

If you key in October 25 in this blogs search box, many posts will come up for the simple reason that the date is particularly meaningful to me… and to the inner twin world.  I’ll let this excerpt from an earlier post do the explaining: 

The following excerpt from my post, Daniel, Daniele, Danny Daniel’s and the King of POP (POP Part 26), will update you: 

Reading my previous post, you can see that I had singled out the name “Daniel” and surname “Daniel’s”, and this had to do with my recent December 25 post, Juror #2 and October 25th (POP Part 23), where one of the two son’s of my cousin who died in a car crash on October 25th, is named Daniel.  And now with that in mind, note this recent addition to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2024 site with the first notable “Daniele” (with an ‘e’) has just been added: 

Daniele Bagnoli, 71, Italian volleyball coach (Top Volley Latina).

Daniele Bagnoli (25 October 1953 – 27 December 2024)

So what are the chances of THAT— not only a name connection, butt an October 25 connection!! So what to make of it all?!  As well, his surname is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, and so we have “bag” and “no” that provides us with a cryptic communication. 

On following the leads, I decided to venture to the Daniels surname wikipedia page.  Since there are a vast  number of notable persons with the surname, I decided to limit my search to any with the first name Daniel.  There was one: 

Danny Daniels, American choreographer, tap dancer, and teacher

Note from his wikipedia page: 

Danny Daniels (October 25, 1924 – July 9, 2017)

ROAR (lyrics): 
… I used to bite my tongue and hold my breathScared to rock the boat and make a messSo I sat quietly, agreed politelyI guess that I forgot I had a choiceI let you push me past the breaking pointI stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
… You held me down, but I got up (hey)Already brushing off the dustYou hear my voice, you hear that soundLike thunder, gonna shake the groundYou held me down, but I got up (hey)Get ready 'cause I've had enoughI see it all, I see it now
… I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion 'cause I am the championAnd you're gonna hear me roar
… Ooh, oohYou're gonna hear me roar
… Now I'm floating like a butterflyStinging like a bee, I earned my stripesI went from zero to my own hero
… You held me down, but I got up (hey)Already brushing off the dustYou hear my voice, you hear that soundLike thunder, gonna shake the groundYou held me down, but I got up (hey, got up)Get ready 'cause I've had enoughI see it all, I see it now
… I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roar
… Ooh, oohYou're gonna hear me roar (hey)Ooh (you'll hear me roar), oohYou're gonna hear me roar
… Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
… I got the eye of the tiger, a fighterDancing through the fire 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roarOh, louder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a championAnd you're gonna hear me roar
… Ooh (yeah), oohYou're gonna hear me roarOoh (you'll hear me roar), oohYou're gonna hear me roar
