Hey El-Jay.
Firstly, sorry I missed my MVM for Friday. I made a commitment but I might have to change the day that commitment happens because I don't know if Friday is going to work after all. :/ But here we go anyway.
Week four can be found here.
So, I listened a lot to 'Stronger Than Jesus' this week. If you would like to see my analysis of that song, I point you to the link above, as it was my most listened to song last week, too. I think I'll just go down my list of most listened to tracks on last.fm until I find another one to talk about.
So this week's will be, with 9 plays, for an average of 1.3 plays per day, is:
First Love by Emmy the Great
( Lyrics )
Regret. Obviously. Regret, hope, lust, and any other words you can think of to describe the first time you fell in love. The first time you really opened yourself up to someone, because you thought something might come of it. I will honestly say I can pinpoint first love, and it was the most vulnerable I had felt in my entire life. Yet, like the singer of this song, I would go back in a heartbeat, and maybe try to do it over. Maybe try to prolong that feeling even more, because I know at the end of first love, I got my heart broken. I grew up a little bit, became a little bit less of a child.
So I think I listened to this song a lot in the last week because, of course, I'm still thinking lots about relationships. I've tried to tell myself in the past that thinking about them won't help any, but of course I still do. I remember all my failed attempts and experiences of watching people succeed and fail in their own relationship efforts, some flaunting how easy it is for them and others falling into it by chance, some fucking it up gloriously and some managing to hold on for dear life and somehow make it through the storm that is making up with someone.
Truth be told, I don't know what I would do with a significant other if I had one. I have never had a specific experience like the singer of this song but I know the feeling of wanting to go back to something because it's the best you've had so far. Through all of the relationships I have had and currently had, it's very hard to compare to that first feeling I got of true love. That feeling that you will sacrifice things for someone just so they can be happier, even if it means not being happier with you.
