Music can be a lot of different things for a lot of different people. It could calm someone down or cheer them up. Music is for focusing so you can do your late night study and partying until the sun comes up. Every culture has its own type of music and within that there are genres, and for every person that listens to that genre they each have their own style. Music is so diverse but it is one of the only things that the whole world has in common.
Japanese Denim by Daniel Caesar
(Disclosure: This song uses the F word twice) This song is very calming and soothing and makes me honestly feel sleepy. It’s full of emotion and I honestly can relate. In this song Daniel is talking about the bittersweet sadness of lost love. He uses the lyrics to explain that he could be caring about other things but instead all hes thinking about is her.
“I don’t stand in lines, I don’t pay for clubs, f**k that
But I wait for you
I don’t like to drink, I don’t like to think, f**k that
But I ponder you”
Daniel Caesar
In these lines he talks about how he could be thinking, drinking, clubbing etc. but instead, he’s thinking of her. Overall, this song is definitely a sad one and it is one of my favorites.
wish you were gay by Billie Eilish
This is also a sad song, about a failed relationship (can you see the reoccurring theme here?). It’s about how Billie is trying to make a relationship work but he’s not trying, and a relationship definitely isn’t going to work if only one person is trying. It’s all about her and what she does for him verses what he doesn’t do for her.
“I just wanna make you feel okay
But all you do is look the other way,
I can’t tell you how much I wish I didn’t wanna stay,
I just kinda wish you were gay”
Billie Eilish
Within these lines, Billie explains that he doesn’t care, and even though she knows this and she doesn’t want this toxic relationship, she cares about him enough that it hurts to leave.
Goodbye by Who Is Fancy
This song is more of an after-the-break-up-song. It’s all about this guy who knows he just needs to end a relationship and is confident he can find somebody new. This song was a motivational thing for me a few years ago and it brings back some good memories of hope and good times.
“Once we were a fire burning,
Now you’re just a lesson I’m learning,
Please believe me,
This isn’t easy,
I just need to say goodbye”
Who Is Fancy
These lyrics are explaining how the author of this song feels about his current relationship. He is reminded of a time when they meant more to each other and now she’s just something he has to learn to get over. He explains that although its hard he is going to end the relationship because it’s not the same passion filled love they once had.
Overall, these songs are some of my favorite songs ever, and they say a lot about life and love. I guess those are somethings we, as a human race, hold very near to us, and very high up on our list of important things.
