White Horse

On April 19th I sang in East Halls for the Open Mic program that was being held. I sang a simple song by Taylor Swift called White Horse. I have been in love with this song for a couple years now so being that recently sang it I decided to write about it for my blog today. The song is a simple song about a girl who has always dreamed of being a princess and living a fairy tale life with the person that she falls in love with. She falls in love with a boy and she thinks that she is going to have everything that she dreamed of. He does something to hurt her and she then realizes that she isn’t a princess and she is not living a fairy tale life. This makes her decide to let him go because she does not want to be hurt anymore. When she does break up with him, he realized what he lost and tries to get her back. Although its everything that she has ever wanted she still does not get back with him because she knows that she can find someone better than him and she does not want to provide him with a fairy tale he does not deserve. She finally lets him go and moves on to a new phase in her life leaving him in her past to find something better. This song is influential because it is very relatable. I have always dreamed out having that fairy tale life and sometimes in relationships those dreams are difficult to let go and finally face reality. Many other girls can most likely relate to this song or have experienced something very similar to it. If not I hope you listen to it and just like the song. 

Denim

This week I am going to introduce many of you to a new song. I am sure most of you have not heard the song Denim by Frank Ocean. It is a really cute song with a lot of symbolism in the lyrics. The song starts by talking about a pair of blue jeans that he cares a lot about. He hand washes them keeps the tags and never lets them drag. In the beginning of the song you would think that he is talking about a pair of jeans that he loves the most but he is actually talking about his relationship. The idea of the song is that him and his partner have a strong relationship that last like good denim would. Many of you can say that you have had that one great pair of jeans that have lasted you years and you have worn until they were completely faded and worn out. This is the type of relationship he is talking about. He describes a pair of good jeans that have a lifetime of good wear and have cuts and may be weathered out but they always seems to last and they always remain wearable. Denim is also the type of fabric that goes with anything and always looks good. He relates this to his relationship by saying that them as a couple always look good together like denim and can go anywhere together with no problem. He has no fear over the weather or if their relationship will go through any problems because he knows that like denim they can go through anything and their love with always last and always remain strong. I love the idea of this song and how someone can think that their bond with another is that strong that it will never wear. I hope you guys take the time to listen to the song and tell me your ideas.
