As a person who listens
to the radio every time their in the car, I obviously play 96.5 and 95.7 quite
a lot. Those are usually the stations that play the "hip and
upcoming" music. As a teenager I look up to musicians. Let me rephrase
that. I look up to good musicians. Before you go all Hulk on me, hear me
out. I know that "good" is a rather generic word and it's categorized
differently by every person according to their taste. For me a good musician
has to have 3 things:
1) Good beats, music has
to be ear-pleasing, and of course catchy
2) Have to have
different sort of songs-ex: every song can't be about love and sadness
3) Lyrics can't be
trashy
Which brings me to
Blurred Lines sang by Robin Thicke.
Check this out-http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/robinthicke/blurredlines.html and
you also maybe don't want to check out the video for this song which got an age
limit of 18 on YouTube because of well....I'll let you figure that out.
If you know the lyrics
then you should be well on your way. No I'm not here to ram Robin Thicke or any
of the other writers. I am solely here to express my opinion. I will agree that
this song was catchy. If it was playing on the radio I would probably start
singing along. But the meaning of this song is completely vulgar. Robin Thicke
co-wrote Blurred Lines with did T.I and Pharrell Williams-who side note gave
his $200 Grammy hat for auction on Ebay. So it's up for grabs. May the odds be
ever in your favor.
Back to what I was
saying. He wrote the song. And to me that just gives him an ick factor. Who
writes that? If you haven't checked the lyrics yet, go check them because
you're about to get some spoilers. This song is about prostitution.
Domesticating women as they say.. To all those people who still think “Blurred
Lines” is for the feminist movement, please comment your opinion below. I would
love to hear why. Worst part is it's not even hidden. All the words out there
plain in the open so no deciphering is required. "What rhymes with hug
me?" Gee, I don’t know. There is no deeper meaning to it. If there was I
would've thought there would be a video supporting women, yet the video does
the exact opposite.
One last thing: Good job
Robin Thicke you and Miley Cyrus have made 2013 one of the most controversial
years of the 21st century!
P.S. No that wasn't
sarcasm. Controversy creates opinions. The world would be rather boring if
everyone thought the same don't you think?
