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?
