Hi Sweetie
So...I decided to do a cover of some of my favorite songs from sound of music. It's one of the movies that made my childhood. I mean...this was the movie that made me memorize the tonic solfa
This was definitely my most stressful entry ever😭 ...and longest too😅...but it was funn😊
Listening to the first song in Sound of Music- How Do You Solve A Problem like Maria, made me sad, it made me realize that she wasn't really wanted at the Abbey🥺...I'm glad she found a place where she wasn't tagged a liability

Anywayssss,
A little bit about the movie🥺:
The Sound of Music is more than just a film—it’s a tale of love, hope, and the unshakable spirit that resonates through generations. Released in 1965, this iconic movie, starring the unforgettable Julie Andrews as Maria, feels like a warm embrace, reminding us of a simpler time when music had the power to heal even the most broken hearts.
At its core, it’s the story of a young woman, lost in her search for purpose, sent from her peaceful abbey to a home shrouded in silence and grief. Maria arrives at the estate of Captain Georg von Trapp, a man hardened by the loss of his wife, who runs his household like a ship—strict, regimented, and devoid of joy. His seven children, neglected emotionally, are strangers to the warmth of laughter, to the sound of song. But Maria, with her open heart and free spirit, brings music back into their lives. She fills their world with melodies of joy, reminding them what it means to live and love.
As Maria grows closer to the children, her affection for the captain deepens. And through the music that flows through their home, their bond blossoms into something neither of them expected—a love that transcends the quiet grief they’ve been living in. But just as their hearts begin to open, the shadow of the Nazi regime darkens their skies. Austria is on the brink of annexation, and their safety, their very freedom, is threatened. The family’s escape, a daring and heart-wrenching journey over the mountains, is more than an act of survival—it’s a testament to their courage and unity, all sparked by the songs that gave them strength.
Based on the real-life story of the von Trapp family, the film is a tribute to the power of music and love in the face of unimaginable fear. It reminds us of the melodies that live inside us, waiting to carry us through life’s darkest moments. From the stunning visuals of the Austrian Alps to the timeless songs—“Edelweiss,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi”—that tug at our heartstrings, The Sound of Music is a journey of emotions, one that lingers long after the final note is sung.
It’s a story that makes us believe again—in love, in family, in the music that helps us find our way when all seems lost.
I hope these covers make give warmth to your heart. I love you❤️

How Do You Solve a problem like Maria Lyrics :
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear
She waltzes on her way to Mass
And whistles on the stair
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
I even heard her singing in the abbey
She’s always late for chapel
But her penitence is real
She’s always late for everything
Except for every meal
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Maria’s not an asset to the abbey
I’d like to say a word in her behalf
Maria makes me laugh
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
Many a thing you know you’d like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

Edelweiss Lyrics:
Edelweiss...
Edelweiss...
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever...
Edelweiss...
Edelweiss...
Bless my homeland forever...
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever...
Edelweiss...
Edelweiss...
Bless my homeland forever...

Do-Re-Mi Lyrics
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
[Maria]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
(Let's see if I can make it easy)
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
[Maria and Children]
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
[Maria]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!
