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? -wayne. |
