Love, removes the hurt in you
You know what we need? We need a straight-up love song. Yes? Yes! I'm pretty good at picking up various broken hearted songs but it's a lot more difficult for me to find an honest to God love song that isn't somehow sad. I've struggled with this deficiency since high school ("do you have anything that won't make me want to jump off the nearest bridge?") and oddly as the years go by, I think I've managed to lose more than I've gained. But only in this area, really. Go figure.
Anyway, one of my favorite lines for the entire album is lurking in Love They Say:
You don't need to worry
This love will make us worthy
How great is that?
The first time you held my hand
I knew I was meant for you
The first time you kissed my lips
I knew I was meant for you
Love, they say there's only one
Love, the kind that's not undone
Love, I know you are the one
I'm torn on this BTS video. On the one hand, told to write a love song. That just sounds weird, but I'm sure I have a terribly romanticized version of how songwriting actually happens. On the other hand, she does Serious Love Song Research (which makes me think of luxken27 when in her Research mode) and it's kind of hilarious how the song developed from said research.
And then we veer off into territory where I kind of cringe because it's Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz and why do I even know this? But that prompts "People need guidance." and that's also worth the price of admission. (Which, incidentally, irks me when I say this to someone and they're like "but admission is free so..." Way to miss the point!)
Anyway, Love They Say is a sweet little song with one of the best lines ever and you're welcome for this grueling work of me gushing nonsensically and then sharing videos so you don't have to go out and find the song, the lyrics, and then the stories behind the songs. You are super welcome. It's okay.
Oh, and we use Hanna's happy icon because there's a picture of Ashley Benson meeting Tegan and Sara and it's adorable and the streams crossed and no one died yet, Egon.
