Love just is
As I looked down the list of the Alternative Rock CD, my brain instantly digested the words
Megalomaniac, Incubus, Maroon 5, Live... Oh yes, even my sister knew it. This was my dream CD. The music had my name written all over it. This is
my music.
But then my heart started tugging as I repeated the words in Megalomaniac.
Oh, megalomaniac,
you're no jesus
yeah you're no fucking elvis...
I cringed. Hmm... it's a little harsh. But, as Tasha said, this was a song I liked. And I still do! It's just...
I took out one of my old rock CDs and started to listen to Chevelle. One of my favourites and listened to the lyrics... and found myself sinking slowly into it until I realised...
My whole world became dark.
Back to where I was, I was hesitant to buy the compilation. I browsed through some more CDs...
Where I stopped and saw Hilary Duff.
I showed it to Tasha. She freaked. "You like her?????"
"I don't like
her, I like her
music!" I protested.
She raised her eyebrows. It's her way of saying, you've gone mad. Again.
I'm not a fan of Hilary Duff I admit, but I bought her CD anyway, and all I can say is...
What a refreshment.
I know... Hilary is a sissy blonde with no proper attitude. But her music was just what I needed... For example, the lyrics for
Love just is doesn't really sum up the whole thing about love, but it gives you the shrug shoulders and says, let it be.
Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense what can you do
So I won't try making sense of you
Love just is...whatever it may be
Love just is...in you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for...
Love just is
A far cry from the music I've heard that gives the message that love brings you down.
Yes, not all rock music give you that feeling, some are inspirational, like Evanescence. But I guess, maybe my inner child was sick and tired of trying to make sense out of life and so got me to buy Hilary Duff's.
Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
why not
I'm not suggesting you buy her CD. It's just that I realised that it was because I wanted so much to listen to music that fits my mood, I got stuck there.
Music can be helpful. Just be careful in what you listen to.
Oh yes, her music reminds me of CCS a little...
Why not
spread your wings and fly
Hmm... maybe that's why I like it...
