"To every broken heart in here. Love was once a part but now it disappeared. She told me its all part of the choices that you make, yeah. Even when you think you're right you have to give to take. But there's still tomorrow, forget the sorrow, and I can be on the last train home. Watch it pass the day as it fades away, no more time to care, no more time, today. But we sing, if we're going nowhere, yeah we sing, if it's not enough. And we sing, sing without a reason to ever fall in love." -"Last Train Home" Lostprophets
Praise for the Author: The author is not just one person I am assuming, since it is a band. The author(s) has presumably been through heartbreak, which I think most people in this class can on some level relate too. All heartbreaks are generally the same, you get crushed by someone you 'love'. So I think whatever they're singing about is vaild enough for me.
Paraphrase of Saying: Love comes and goes, for an unknown amount of time. But don't dwell on the sorrow, you must move on with you're life. Don't worry about whatever may be happening, don't care, just live free and don't have a straight plan of action. Without reason or warning we'll fall in love again, and possibly fall out of love again, but regardless, just sing and take it as it is, day by day.
Causes or Reasons for Saying: If we are always dwelling on our brokenhearts, we'll get nowhere. We must care, but only for what matters, ourselves. Care for ourselves and just live freely until by chance without warning you might fall in love again.
A Contrast: Sometimes living free without a real plan of action can be scary or lonely, but it is the unknown, so be prepared for anything.
A Comparison: Being care free and just living can help your life in so many ways that are unknown to us now. Being free is quite self-explanitory. You can do whatever you want and whenever you want.
An Example: Personally, I've been living through this song. Just living freely and having fun without a care. Of course, there are obvious cares, like school. But school is only worth caring about if it is fun for you. Just like life. Life is worth caring about if you make it that way.
Testimony/Epilogue: The song and lyrics seem to be helpful and can be applied to anyone. Anyone can live this way, and many probably are without realizing it or putting a title on it.

I really enjoyed this. I love music and finding a way to relate it to my own life; I think there are so many lessons and stories we can glean from music, and the ways it can inspire us and change our perspectives are endless.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! Sometimes the sorrow of love should be dealt with until the sadness is gone. But you're right. never should it be dwelled upon. And the being carefree part is just like being fearless. And when you're fearless, you're less likely to be bummed out on certain things and you're more prone to having faith that everything in your life will turn out the best.
ReplyDeleteGood topic chick!
