Theme XII. :Love

Diary entry :44


Hey, Miss Diary.

I've been listening to a few songs lately. Songs that, growing up, I never knew the meaning to. I just knew they had a good melody to them. I never paid attention to any of the words. So, now that I'm listening to these songs, it's kinda funny and terrible at the same time to find out what they're about. But the only one I can really think of is Hey Ya! by Outkast. It was always being played at little kids' birthday parties when it was a hit and stuff so I never would've guessed that the lyrics were actually about quite a sad love story. I mean, if Andre 3000 were to sing it to slow, sad, downbeat melody—the actual meaning of the lyrics would make you depressed.

One line that really sticks out to me is when Andre sings, "If what they say is, 'Nothing is forever,' then what makes love exception?"

I mean… What does, though?

What guarantees that when someone is in love that it'll last?

That's why, when I'm in love, it's gonna be the best time ever in my life. Even if it passes within a blink of an eye, the memories of it will be engraved in my heart.

I never want to have my love story be based off a sad song.

Songs like Wake Up Alone by Amy Winehouse:

His face in my dreams seizes my guts—he floods me with dread.

Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes by the bed.

Pour myself over him, moon spilling in…

And I wake up alone.

She writes truly poetic words that I hope to never be able to relate to.

Hm. . . Don't give me that glum look. Nothing is impossible, so don't give me the 'Oh, she's gonna die,' guilt trip.

Love can bloom even from the most hopeless of places—even a hospital bed.

It can, damn it. . . I believe it can.

Signing off, the one and only,

Sorry if the songs are of a genre that you don't listen to. If there are any other music-related entries then I will be sure to pick a different genre!

OmegaStarShooter14: I know, Zack crying is, like, the worst thing ever. -sniffle- Breaks my heart.

musicbox's will: Yeah, it was probably the end of Xion's world at that point :( And, yeah, yippee, hooray!
