Friday Confession
Jan. 28th, 2011 08:21 amI've been bored with my regular radio station lately, which has led to all sorts of fun like listening to NPR and feeling smart, or listening to pop music and feeling even smarter.
Most of the time, that is, except for some reason I can't stop myself from listening to songs with catchy beats and really, really terrible lyrics. I'm actually okay with this--fun music is fun!
Most of the time, that is, except that for some reason I can't fathom, I start crying every time I hear "Firework." Yeah, that one. I don't even know. I mean, I recognize the lyrics (Such as "After the hurricane comes a rainbow") are totally insipid, and that the song isn't actually designed to make people cry, but there I am, listening in my car at 7:15 am, and I start getting tight in the chest and my eyes well up, and then I'm making those funny breathing noises people make when they're trying not to cry.
Really.
It's embarrassing.
And now you know and can make appropriate fun of me. *g*
This is not a completely isolated incident, as certain songs tend to do this to me. However, this is certainly the most inappropriate example.
