Songs

 Why are all the good songs about romantic relationships? 

• I find a catchy song
• Start learning to sing along 
• Get stuck or confused by garbled lyrics, bad enunciation or overpowering instrumentals
• I search up the lyrics
• Find out song is about love or love-loss

Rinse and repeat for every song I like.

....well not every song. 'Getsumei Fuuhei' by Mika Arikasa for The Twelve Kingdoms (AKA 十二国記 AKA Jūni kokuki AKA Juuni Kokki AKA Record of 12 Countries) is great for those roadtrip times when you need something poetic about ..uh...the world and prayers and vows and ...other stuff? Upbeat and catchy though.

This is something I've complained about for YEARS! I always end up relating songs about romance to friendship, and even though it works sometimes, it gets frustrating. I love love but even I think it gets overwhelming. Maybe it's because I'll never feel that way?

I would recommend listening to Breathe by Taylor Swift if you haven't already! She's openly talked about how the song was written for her old best friend. It's really beautiful and it's romance free (yay)!

I don't think I've heard that TayTay one...and when I searched my files I got rap and country music as results.

I'm just annoyed that I finally got round to getting the new Disturbed album that I had never heard before and the song I really like ('Stronger On Your Own') which sounds like it could be an aro anthem actually is all about getting out of a co-dependant/bad relationship and chasing love being a masochistic pasttime D:
