so... it has come to my attention that I don't really "get" the awesomeness of music hits nowadays.
First it was the Grenade song, which hit me like a grenade, literally. While people's hearts are bursting out... in tears like a grenade singing the darn song, I find myself rolling my eyes -.-" It's a typical physical reaction of a snobbish individual a.k.a me... Friends of mine thought the song was darn romantic, breathtaking beauty, I felt like a troll for being so disagreeable.
'Cuz here is the deal, my friend. I see no bravery, no romance, no ultimate love in such suicidal love. "I'll catch a Grenade for you"... yeah... and what? leaving me alive watching you being torn off into pieces? Funny, thanks but no thanks. The whole idea is traumatizing and ridiculously obnoxious, in my personal opinion. However the whole idea that there is actually an individual who could actually see any romance in it frightens me even more. No wonder why the girl doesn't want you. And dear, you really really don't have to agree with me. Wait till you actually experience the trauma of loosing someone dear, then we shall sit down and talk: whether or not you still want a dead boyfriend and a unfinished romance to store in your memory. It's not gonna be a pleasant conversation, I assure you.
Then "Someone like you" rolls in and I raised eyebrows. It's another depressing song - I have nothing against the singer. She is mad talented. The problem is that I have no idea what you all are thinking... "Never mind I'll find someone like you" It's like after a failed relationship, you want to go back and find another clone - like reading the same book with different covers, knowing very well how it's gonna tragically end.
We - humans, tend to look for sadness and pain for some odd reasons. I wonder if the whole idea of having an ordinary boyfriend who is at the very least alive for you has become outdated, mediocre and odd. I wonder if the whole idea of learning from your mistake, that THIS kind of guys ain't gonna work out with me hence, let's find a totally different type of men has also become strange... Must we? for crying out loud, jump into the same trap twice and then blame Fate for her cruelty.
Remember you took the plunge yourself. I am just saying.
And never mind me :) Just mind what you listen to.

Grenade deserves to be the stupidest song of the century. Rebecca Black's Friday is somehow even better cos at least it tells the truth :D :))
Anyway, I think the lyric "Nevermind I'll find someone like you" is some sort of blind assurance to self (which is the girl in the story) so she could be happy for the used-to-be-love-of-her-life with whatever he's having =) Cos with him being so happy with his happy present, that's all she can do to her self to make herself less torn up :D And the way she sings it kinda convinces me it wouldn't happen anyway, it's just to make the guy forget about her faster. That's what i really love Adele's works cos beneath all those lyrics and rhythm, I can always find something so true and real and relate-able that music nowadays really lacks.
Hope that I didn't speak too much and you can understand those bits of my poor expression :">
P/s: Im so glad you write again :">
Dear, thank you for your comment.
I have been so out of the picture when it comes to music written in English. I tend to listen too carefully to the lyrics and wonder wth they are trying to say.
It was indeed a nasty move of me to criticize "Someone like you" It's a really really sad song. And the fact that it's self-assurance makes it even more depressing :) I guess in the same situation I would like: "The best you never have" kinda lyrics to boost up a girl's confidence. Break-up means they are not meant to be, so might as well have the confidence that he's another Mr. Wrong before the Mr. Right
And no, u never speak too much. You definitely express yourself well.
p/s I am a little glad myself too.
