Well this song, Never Gonna Give You Up, has been playing itself on repeat in my head at work. It's kind of creepy. I could definitely see it being played in a horror movie. But it's also just so awesome. It has a bit of a seventies vibe to it, retro and flashback worthy. A little bit of crooning and a whole lot of earnest honesty. It has a slow dancing vibe but it's so clearly not for slow dancing. I don't know, I've had a real connection to it this week, but I still can't explain my feelings for it. Which reminds me of a quote from An American Marriage by Tayari Jones, even though it's on a different subject.
"But how you feel love and understand love are two different things," (Jones 138).
Sometimes that's how I feel about music. How you feel from the music and how you understand the lyrics can be two different things.
