Yeah kinda been failing on the writing front the last couple of days, but this should make you happy, and so should the news that I begin writing immediately after this post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAUMU3QQE6w
You know those times when I should be working on NanoWriMo, but instead am off hanging out with friends. This is one of the songs someone showed me during those breaks. I was immediately converted to that version of the song. Although, I have a terrible love of Katy Perry...that I probably shouldn't, but that I do.
I don't mind her voice (actually, I love her voice), the song just seems so wrong in that it takes true love and makes it all about sexual gratification as a reward for him making her feel better. I get that the two go hand-in-hand at the appropriate time, but...I dunno. It just bugs me.
Agreed, hence the reason I love this song. And her song "Firework" if you haven't heard it, youtube it now. Lyrics would be better. The music video isn't necessarily bad...but there's one to two sketch scenes.
Honestly though, I don't think the Katy Perry song is about true love at all. It reminds me of Romeo and Juliet, which is all about being in love with love, and not caring what you do, because it's a teenage dream. I like this version because it is about the love part of a relationship. Talking through the night, and dancing until you die, and caring more about the other person than you do yourself...He changed it from a song about lust to a song about true love.
Holy crud, man, where do you FIND this amazingness? I HATE that song when Katy Perry sings it, but this version is EPIC.
