To pretty Sandhya: True, youth are supposed to be a fun-filled period in your life. However, in the process of having fun, we tend to forget about your loved ones and the things you cherished most because you are too wrapped up in "fun".
We do not deny that teenagers often try to substitute their pain with fun and laughter but are they really happy that way? because sometimes no matter how hard we try to forget the painful things, it might not go away. therefore, by not doing anything that you'll regret and facing up to your problems in life, you can prevent the same mistake to happen again.

Erica: Great blog! I'm just curious as to how specifically the issues of family, love, hurt and friends, relate to the youths of today? Enlighten me!
As youths these days, we tend to take things for granted. Say the love of our family and friends for us. Resulting us to feel hurt when we lose them.
We came to such a conclusion about youths these days because we experienced it ourselves. When losing a friend, a pet (part of the family) and relatives, only then we start regretting, thinking "if only" we had done this and that.
Erica: Another question, how does the song specifically convey the issues?
"But I walked away If only I knew what I know today" See what I mean by the "if only".
The rest of the song is mostly on how sorry she was for not treasuring her father, and only to regret after losing him.

RE: ERICA'S COMMENT.
"Erica: Great blog! I'm just curious as to how specifically the issues of family, love, hurt and friends, relate to the youths of today? Enlighten me! "
The issues that we have been saying, Family, Love, Hurt and friends are what normally youths like us faced nowadays.
In this song,
The persona feels regretful for not paying attention to her caring and understanding Dad after she realised her Dad isn't around anymore.
Nowadays, parents of family are often out for work, leaving their children at home. This results in several social problems whereby children become rebelious and they start doing some actions in which they felt could attract their parents' attention.
That's the family part. :D
For love & friends similarly, we take people that care and love for granted.
"Another question, how does the song specifically convey the issues" - Erica
Seems like it was yesterday When I saw your face You told me how proud you were, But I walked away If only I knew what I know today Ooh, ooh
From this, we know that the persona was being approached by most probably her friend or family member. However, she just walked away.
"If only I knew what I know today" - shows how she reflected and we can actually sense her regrets in this sentence.
"I would hold you in my arms I would take the pain away Thank you for all you've done Forgive all your mistakes There's nothing I wouldn't do To hear your voice again Sometimes I wanna call you But I know you won't be there"
Because the persona starts to regret, she adds on with what she will do to 'compensate' for the 'friend or family member' departure.
and she further express her sorrows by telling us how sorry she felt and how repent for her own mistakes.
"Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you For everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself by hurting you"
(thinking again)
fizzy.: other than family, being hurt, friends, family, what other context can u relate to with youths these days? Financial & peer pressure are some of the issue in which I can related to the youths these days.
"Colin: nice song but i gotta agree with sahd : ( i wouldnt say majority of the youths are helpless as the choice of song suggests! : ))"
Hello Sandhya and Colin... I guess our choice of song only targets to youths that are in love.
I'm sure that most youths are in love.
you love your parents, do you?

Music review on Christina Aguilera's 'Hurt'
Seems like it was yesterday When I saw your face You told me how proud you were, But I walked away If only I knew what I know today Ooh, ooh
I would hold you in my arms I would take the pain away Thank you for all you've done Forgive all your mistakes There's nothing I wouldn't do To hear your voice again Sometimes I wanna call you But I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you For everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside But I won't admit Sometimes I just wanna hide 'Cause it's you I miss And it's so hard to say goodbye When it comes to this, ooh
Would you tell me I was wrong? Would you help me understand? Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do To have just one more chance To look into your eyes And see you looking back
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you For everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself, oh
If I had just one more day I would tell you how much that I've missed you Since you've been away Ooh, it's dangerous It's so out of line To try and turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you For everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself.. By hurting you
The MTV in 'Hurt' shows the daughter feeling regretful about her absence of her father. This relates to our generation as we tend to take things for granted like,
1. Family 2. Friends 3. Nature
for granted.
Sometimes we take friends for granted and don't cherish them. And most often than not, we fight over the minor things that can really affect our relationship.
This song actually reminds us that, we should not take them for granted and don't regret when they're gone.
Nevertheless, here are the gist of this review:
Album Song: Hurt. Year of Release: 2006 Singer: Christina Aguilera. Genre: Soft rock.
Review on the song: Above all, our review is trying to convey the themes that speaks for the youth of our generation.Christina Aguilera's Hurt is successful in portraying the emotions that we mentioned earlier.
