Expression Through Song

I can't stand soulja boy. Everyone loves that song and it's played over and over and over again. I guess sometimes if a song is pushed in your face enough times you're bound to kind of like it. Soulja boy is just one of those songs that was never able to wrap itself around me.

"Then I'm Cocking On Your Bitch
You Catch Me At Yo Local Party
Yes I Crank It Everyday"
-Soulja Boy

First of all who the hell speaks like that? I mean did you suddenly drop school and join the gangsta movement of improper english? Second, whoah there soulja boy...military cocking bitch machine, you sound terribly romantic. This song is really sexist. This is what makes a good song for kids to dance to at a party? Is this inspiration? What has this world come to? How do I escape it?

I admit I do have some songs of the inapropriate type, but they are usually made by talented artists, like Akon or by writers of broadway musicals who actually understand what music is. Also if I have a rap song with a non-rap chorus then I usually listen to the chorus and tune out for the rest of the song. The only time I listen to rap is if it's in a song like Lose Yourself by Eminem, or Where is the love by Black Eyed Peas, a song that has meaning and truth behind it's words.

Forever by Chris Brown, I like this song, but seriously don't advertise for wrigleys gum in a song about love. Double your pleasure, double your fun...A song shouldn't be an advertisement. A song should be something that comes from the heart, an expression of a thought. No, a song does not have to be about love, I'm sure at least half of the songs I listen to are about love in one way or another.

I just recently saw a play called spring awakening which emphasizes music based on everyday feelings that just constantly build up inside of us. "Oh I'm gonna bruise you, oh I'm gonna be your bruise." This is what love really is. Yes there is a connection, Yes, there is a longing, but we are always bound to hurt the ones we love no matter how much we care. In the end after all we've been through we still believe that "all will be forgiven" and that "there is love in heaven" shining down on us helping us make it through the day. It's amazing how music can fit almost every situation in our lives. If you're happy you can listen to music, If you feel sad you can listen to music, and if you're mad you can throw stuff at the wall...or you can listen to music. Wouldn't it be great to sing a song for every time we were inspired, every time we were let down, every time we were in trouble. People could express themselves and life could just be one big musical.

Yes,
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.

Music is expression and feeling...life...is the same.
