Song Sincerity

We all have our favorite songs. That one song which we will always like forever. At least that's what's in our minds. We swear to ourselves and even to God that we will always have that one song in our hearts playing like a broken music box on repeat for all eternity. But no. Something else always comes up, doesn't it? Well, that's the irony, my friend. The irony.

There are a couple of reasons why our feelings become separated from those seemingly perfect songs which we all can relate to and can't help but just say what the devil, this song is for me. Yes? Well, that's right -- but for that mean time. Prepare for ultimate destruction.

The most common reason why we "un-favorite" a song is because we change. Face it, people change. Regardless if it's for the better or for the worse, people's lives change. The only constant thing in this universe is change. Nothing else remains but change. But technically, nothing really remains because if change remains, that means everything changes. But let's not get into that very confusing argument because it might just discombobulate our poor, pathetic minds.

Going back, since we all change, there is a great possibility that our feelings will change as well. Which then will lead to making our feelings for that song also change.

Another reason why, and which I am very concerned about, is the fact that if a particular song becomes really, really popular, it becomes overused or overplayed. That, my friend will pave the way for it to lose its virginity, I mean, sincerity. Get this. This one song is really good that's why it's so God damn popular. But let's face it, because it has been played for a million times in one day, it becomes just another song that we don't care about with a monotonous bell-like annoying sound. This is also the reason why I don't really listen to amazingly popular songs unless eventually I get to like them for humanity's sake. Likewise, I hate the fact that my excruciatingly favorite unpopular songs become so popular that I just wanna destroy myself.

On another light, (disclaimer: seriously, I don't have a knack in using these artificial phrases/idioms so please bear with me and please just find it funny/amusing) if we actually delve into those overused songs, we will realize that the meaning of their lyrics are brilliant. Good is an understatement. So yeah, I understand now why they're so crazy famous.
