Day Fifty Seven

This song is one of the most adorable songs I've ever heard

I have so much love for this song because it's not overly romantic and sappy. It's cute. It's fun. If my relationship had a sound track, this is what I'd want it to be. I was going to make my own lyrics video, but by the time I came inside from enjoying this lovely spring day and got off the phone with Sam, it was too late. Maybe another day. Spring break is coming up, so I'll have time for more elaborate projects then.

Anyways, back to love songs. I'm pretty choosy when it comes to liking songs about love because so many of them are too over the top and dramatic and that's not how I like my love personally. Unless you can serenade me with it while playing guitar, I probably won't like it.

And it has to be happy-sounding too. I don't want to listen to a song that sounds depressing because love isn't depressing. Now, don't get me wrong, I think Whitney Houston had an amazing voice, but I don't like "I Will Always Love You." It's too sad. I know it's supposed to be, but why would I want to listen to that? I'd much rather listen to something like this:

Happy? Check. Fun? Check. Sing-a-long worthy? Check. Guitar for bonus points? Check.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm in a good place relationship-wise. If Sam and I broke up, I probably wouldn't be listening to bubbly love songs. I'd probably be listening to shit like this:

or this:

(You know I'm in a bad place when I'M listening to Adele.)

I think people naturally like to listen to music that reflects their life at least in some way. It's why there's hardcore music like "Til I Collapse" playing in the weight room or "Let's Go" playing as a pre-game warm up song (the Trick Daddy song, not the Matt and Kim song. That wouldn't be situationally appropriate at all.) I've always found it weird that people listen to sad music when they're sad - why not listen to happy music to cheer you up? - but whenever I put on happy music when I'm sad, it just feels like the music is mocking me. 

I guess for me, when I want to listen to songs about love or relationships, I want them to remind me of Sam, not how much I miss him. That means they have to make me smile and make me look forward to the future.

In the next few days, I'll probably be writing more about songs in the midst of some other things, but mainly I wanted to share the "I Must Have Done Something Right" video with you all and explain why I love it so much.
