Have you ever been shocked by how much a certain song can remind you of a close friend or family member? I can recall numerous occasions when I've fallen captive to the melodious lyrics that flow through a song. I'm suddenly convinced the artist has written this song for me, and I listen to it on repeat, struck by the idea that there is somebody else who feels the same way as I do. Although, there's something personal about those particular songs, and I almost find it difficult to share my findings with others for fear they may reveal a new meaning to the song.
The strangest part about all this 'lyric reminiscing', is the fact that you simply can't control the songs you like. I mean, I personally have no deep love for Eminem, but his song Headlights is truly beautiful (and it's not often that I've described rap as 'beautiful') I have come across various incredible songs by artists I wouldn't usually listen to. Never rule out a song until you've listened to it yourself.The subject of 'proper music' has often popped up in conversation between my friends. What defines a 'real song'? Personally I believe all songs are real, but it's the impact they have on different people that changes the deeper meaning behind them. My friends had a tediously long debate a few days ago about the definition of a 'boy band'. The dictionary definition clearly states:
A boy band is a pop group composed of attractive young men, whose music and image are designed to appeal primarily to a young teenage audience.
At the end of it all, who really cares!! Nobody should be criticised for their choice of music.
So, I'll never understand what drew me to these particular songs. But below are a list of songs that hold special meaning in my life. Some of you, who know me well, will have no problem understanding the significane of these songs. And to the rest, I hope you listen to these songs yourself and find a deeper meaning to the lyrics...
