Music and Lyrics

I started off wanting to do a week of sweep-you-off-your-feet lovey dovey lyrics and I had no idea what to call it. I've now somehow landed on this homage to a Hugh Grant movie that I am only 43% sure I've seen. In summary, these are three songs that have lines in them that make me swoon just a teeny tiny bit whenever they come on.

The First: Could It Be by Charlie Worsham

"Who knows we might go down in flames, then again I might just change your name"

Now, even though I am definitively confident that I do not ever want to change any part of the name my incredible mother spent nine months picking out for me (Karla-Christina Theresa Pratt? No. Karla-Christina Theresa Reynolds? Also no. Those all sound terrible*. Karla-Christina Theresa Carreras? Yaaassss.), I still do really like the idea behind this line. He's basically saying, then again I MIGHT JUST MARRY YOU SO LET'S SEE WHERE THIS GOES. Which is just a really sweet thought to have at the beginning of something. On the other hand, you might be thinking, "HECK NO that's not a sweet thought at all, you're crazy!" and to that I would say, "Clearly this is not the person for you since you're having such an extremely negative reaction. Why are you two even dating?"

(*Yes, I was just imagining myself married to either Chris Pratt or Ryan Reynolds, thankyouverymuch. And to be clear, I wasn't saying no to them. I was just saying no to their last names.)

The Second: Don't You Wanna Fall by Frankie Ballard

"Don't you wanna fall?"

Just super straight to the point here. A few months ago I spent a weekend listening to nothing but this album from Frankie Ballard. I don't know how it happened, or why, but the fact is that it did. And this was the song that I kept on falling back to. 

(Did you catch that?)

I hope you like it too.

The Third and Final: Ours by Taylor Swift

Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine... 

The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours.

CONTROVERSY. I've selected a tswift song. I will argue that this song still has enough of a hint of country, even if there is no country twang. Anyways, these lyrics. I unabashedly love them. And this song. And Taylor Swift. 

It's fine. Don't worry about it. Everyone has a guilty pleasure, right? Mine is chocolate. And also mini fruit marshmallows. And popcorn. 

Oh, and also Taylor Swift.

If I was allowed to feature songs more than once, then you better believe Sundy Best's Until I Met You would be on here. But unfortunately, I make the rules around here. And I say I can't feature a song more than once outside of Top Tens. 

I'm the worst.

Thanks for listening!
