The song this week is, "Walk on By," by Dionne Warwick
While listening to this song, I thought about was how it's a sad song. The tune is more mellow and not as lively as other songs. It allows the listener to ponder and drown in the beat along with the lyrics. Something that you'd turn on when you are on a late-night drive or in your feelings. When it comes to the lyrics they do an excellent job of expressing the feeling when passing a past love. The love that you has since been replaced with anger and sadness. The difficult thing is no one wants to show they're weak in front of them. We want to show our past love that we are thriving and enjoying life to the fullest. When in reality we are in pain and miss them dearly. I enjoy about this song is how the lyrics state, "Walk on by (Don't stop)," it's so easy to make excuses to stop and talk to them. But for us to recover from the hurt that they caused, we can't stop. We just have to keep living our lives even though it is so difficult at times. That's how I interpret this song, which promotes us to allow ourselves to heal from the damage of a goodbye.
Hi Morgan! I really do like this song, and I think I’ll take your advice and add it to my sad playlist. I mean, everybody’s got one. I really liked how you broke down the lyrics and made it something we could all relate to. I feel like this song really does give good advice.
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog post. Great insight. I like that you say that no one wants to show weakness in front of people. I believe that I do not like to show what I am feeling. You say that we need to walk on by then so you can recover from what that heartbreak did to you. I have not dated but I totally agree with you.
