Introduction
As a DJ, I have come across countless songs that have touched my heart and brought back memories. One such song that holds a special place in my heart is “Que Sera, Sera” by Billianne. The song’s soothing melody and timeless lyrics have resonated with generations of listeners, including myself.
First Encounter
I still remember stumbling upon this song at a friend’s house when I was a teenager. It was played softly in the background, and its enchanting melody caught my attention. I was captivated when I heard the lyrics for the first time, “I asked my mother, ‘What will I be? Will I be pretty, will I be rich?'”. These words touched a chord within me, as I think many of us have asked ourselves similar questions about our future.
The Message of Acceptance
Written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston, “Que Sera, Sera” carries a powerful message of acceptance and surrendering to the unknown. The chorus, “Que será, será, Whatever will be, will be, The future’s not ours to see,” reminds us that no matter how much we plan or worry, we cannot control what lies ahead. It encourages us to embrace the uncertainty and trust that everything will unfold as it should.
A Journey through Life’s Phases
The song beautifully weaves through the different stages of life, illustrating the common questions we ask ourselves. In the second verse, Billianne sings, “When I grew up and fell in love, I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead”. This verse depicts the anxiety and curiosity we feel when embarking on new relationships and the longing to know what the future holds. The third verse showcases the cycle continuing as Billianne’s own children ask her the same questions.
A Tribute to Doris Day
It is important to note that “Que Sera, Sera” by Billianne is a cover of the iconic song “Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)” originally performed by Doris Day. Billianne’s rendition pays homage to the timeless classic while adding her unique touch. The fact that Billianne chose to cover this song speaks volumes about its lasting impact and popularity.
