This is what I originally wanted to write the last post about, but it kind of ran away from me there, so I thought I would write this one.
I was listening to the radio and I heard this song about a man praising this woman’s beauty. And for a bit I thought, okay it’s getting a bit old, we understand that you think she’s gorgeous, but what about the rest of her? Not to mention that I didn’t feel the descriptions where very flattering or the comparisons for that matter.
But it made me think about all these new romance songs that don’t seem to have anything to do with what I would find romantic. I listen to them on the radio, and think is this what is supposed to be romantic?
Am I supposed to think, oh another song about how pretty I am, how sweet?I can’t even think of the last song I remember that didn’t focus, if not primarily, but secondarily, about the physical.
Because of all the things I think about myself, I would say I pride many things above beauty. Not to mention that if this woman doesn’t like this guy, than the song is a weird glorified stalker anthem.
But to make the radio, it clearly has to be new and on trend. So who am I to say?
Needless to say, if someone were to write a song about me, I would be expecting a bit more than a description of how they feel about my body when they see me. How high maintenance…
Right on.
