Lowkey this blog is basically a filler episode. Do you have songs that you feel like the artist is just screaming in your ear every time you play it? no? ok then do you have a song that makes Monday go by just a tad bit easier? no? ok well do you have a song that makes you feel euphoric?
this blog is going to be about my favorite 5 songs and my interpretation on what each of them means how they make me feel!!!! I bet your pretty excited huh?
OK were going to start of strong and pull an absolute trump card really quick.
number 1. ivy- frank ocean
Ok let me just start by saying frank ocean need to come back! his reasons for leaving are completely valid he recently loss his brother and is grieving. he’s been dropping hints as to when his next album is coming out but who knows?
ivy is one of those songs that makes you reflect on your life especially with lines like “we were kids, we had time to kill back then ” and ” we will never be those kids again” it helps you reflect on the times when you were still growing and changing in multiple ways and how there’s so many things that you would change if you could and growing apart. in short, this song is about reflecting on our past.
This next one was showed to me by a friend and I grown to absolutely love it!!
les- by childish Gambino
les is one of them songs you have to listen to a couple times to actually understand the meaning but once you complete that task you understand what the artist is really trying to convey.
les is about ego vs. security. you would think it’s about the night life and partying but it’s really about using social status as a sort of armor to wear around and brag to his insecurities. the beat is hypnotic and the lyrics feel almost bored in a sense that’s intentional he trying not to glorify the night life but expose it.
this next one I found while watching euphoria. and it blew a hole through my head.
All for us- Zendaya, labyrinth
This song is about pressure I think! and the struggle to survive whilst also sacrificing yourself. it sounds noble “all for us” but it’s actually tragic. it reflects the pain that one goes through and how you feel as if you must go through it or deserve to go through for sum odd reason.
this one is about the queen of soul and spoken word herself Lauryn hill!
Lauryn hill is a very talented artist who absolutely need to make more songs before I go crazy!
“Mystery of iniquity by Lauryn hill
in this song she points out how laws are meant to benefit the few while harming many. she shows how most people are kept out of the loop because truth become harmful to those in power. and the songs draws heavy from biblical knowledge letting the spiritual warfare in her nature be known this is not just a physical battle but a spiritual one Aswell.in all she’s talking about how people in power profit from the inequalities in life. y’all should totally listen to it!
we cry together by – Kendrick Lamar is number 4!!
this song holds no specific meaning to me but it’s a nice style and the lyric are really nice!!!
is a portrayal of a toxic couple and how unresolved trauma turns love into war.
this last song I’m going to do an insane pull and go
love galore by – SZA
love galore is about wanting love from someone who gives attention but not commitment! it’s about desire, vulnerability and self-commitment. it’s about one person giving emotion to the relationship and the other one giving moments…
what are some songs that get you through boring Mondays?
do you have any song recommendations?
who is you “Lauryn hill”?
Literally anything by Childish Gambino is good. Like, Donald Glover is allergic to making bad music I think. He could just sit there and scream into a mic and somehow make it peak. Same with SZA honestly. Anyway, the violin in Les is just ethereal. Sooo peak. So beautiful.
