Do you remember when you were little and everything was so simple? I think it's because our music was so simple.
I was listening to some of my old songs that I listened to when I was little, and I realized how straightforward these lyrics are.
"Spinning around. I've got this funny feeling, turning my whole world upside down, I'll keep my heart and my eyes on you. Cause you keep my spinning around!"
How effortless was that? simply telling a person, "Hey when you're around me, I feel happy."
Why is that so hard for us teenagers? Why must we over complicate things? Why is it we have songs that are so much more complicated?
For example, it pretty much took me a matter of days to figure out the multiple meanings behind Taylor Swifts song "Red," but when I figured it out I realized how much I could relate. All of the songs in her album have taken me weeks, and I'm not so sure I've figured it all out yet.
I'm still trying to figure out what happened from then and now. What happened in the last six years that all of a sudden made our music so much more complicated?
Was is just out overexposure to all of the different romances?
Was it because we've learned about sex?
Did we realize that love is imperfect and it's just not as simple as a teeny- bopper song?
Well, why can't love be just like a teeny- bopper song? Why does love have to be imperfect?
I feel like we may just over complicate things. We should just walk up to someone and simply say to them "Hey I like you," boom. Why do we have to make this extremely dramatic scene and tragedy out of it?
Why do we make our relationships turn into long depressing albums, and not just one silly single?
