Jessica's Analysis
This song is pretty epic. I have no idea why I like it so much, but I for sure do. I like the chanted "la-la"s, I like the mixture of voices, I like the melody, I just like everything! Well done, ADtR, well done. By the way, for some reason, so many people think the female singer in this song is Hayley Williams from Paramore, but it's Sierra Kusterbeck of VersaEmerge. Here's the breakdown: I always laugh when I hear couples saying this is 'their song' because it's not about a happy relationship. "...this will all be in our past, and it might be for the best," implies that they knew it wasn't the best relationship. They want to make it work, but they just can't. At the end of the song, the female ends the relationship, "...even though you mean so much to me..." The male's heart is clearly broken, "I swear I'll never be happy again, and don't you dare say 'we can just be friends,'" but, "we knew it'd happen eventually." But at the end of the day, "everybody's singing la, la-la-la, la-la-la." Such a great song!
Please understand that my opinion doesn't have to be yours. If you disagree, strike up a conversation about it! That's the design of the Project. We'll all learn a little somethin'.
