I was studying in the library today, listening to my iPod. I realised that I was always skipping through certain songs and in the end, I end up listening to the same old few songs.
And these favourites of mine had something in common – they were Pop songs. Yes yes, you may laugh your ass off… But I realised that the Pop songs that I grew up listening to are honestly the best music I’ve ever listened!
There’s no angst, no vulgarities, no singers lamenting about their pathetic lives or how the world is going to end. It was just plain, simple, happy Pop!
As cheesy as it sounds, I love to hear floppy blonde hair cuties with baby blue eyes (it was the thing back then) crooning about how I’ll Never Break Your Heart and that they will go Anywhere For You. I get swept off my feet as they treat me Like A Rose and tell me that I Do (Cherish You). I mean, who wouldn’t die if someone told them that God Must Have Spent A Lil More Time On You?! Basically, I guess what Pop songs does for me is to instill hope in me that there is someone out there who is willing to give me his 10,000 Promises that he will give All I Have To Give and that its all Because of You. Sighhh…… I Want It That Way!!!
Yes, I love the 90s and I love my boy bands!!! And I am not ashamed to say it out loud!
