The Greatest Fan of Your Life

We can all admit that we listen to songs on the radio all the time. Music is a part of our culture and our generation. Much of the songs now a days are about partying or sex. However, there are many that focus on the importance of finding that special someone - a soul mate. I believe that soul mates exist. One can find a soul mate sooner or later in life. There is someone out in the world for everyone; we just need to be willing to search for them. We need to look in the right places to find that person. We should have an idea of a person we want to have as a soul mate, but keep all options open. A person who is caring, loving, funny, amiable and has a great and outgoing personality are all qualities I admire. Below are a list of five songs that correlate to love in our lives today.

Honeybee - Blake Shelton

This song is perfect for the quest of a soul mate. The lyrics state that whatever you may be, I’ll be the opposite and we will balance each other out. Even though they may have differences, they will make it work and find a common ground.

"If you'll be my soft and sweet, I'll be your strong and steady. You'll be my glass of wine, I'll be your shot of whiskey. You'll be my sunny day; I'll be your shade tree. You'll be my honeysuckle; I'll be your honey bee."

We Found Love - Rihanna

Rihanna’s song begins with sad lyrics. She is helpless and has lost her love interest. It then drifts into the chorus and states, “We found love in a hopeless place.” When I listen to the song, I think Rihanna has found a “rebound” from her last boyfriend. She is vulnerable and feeling sad and believes any source of affection is actually love. This is not a good example of a quest for a soul mate. To find a soul mate, one needs to get to know the person first.

Give Your Heart A Break – Demi Lovato

This song is about taking the chances and risks of falling in love. The lyrics state that when Demi first met him, he said he would never fall in love. But they have apparently come a long way and are ready to take the next step. She wants to stay with him. She does not want to break his heart. She wants to give his heart a break. They might make a mistake, but there’s only one life to live. This song is an example of young love and taking chances and being spontaneous. Although this song may not be a good example of finding a soul mate, it is a good example of young, flirty, love.

I’ll Be – Edwin McCain

This whole song by Edwin McCain is complementing whomever he wrote the song to. The song states that the color of the person’s eyes is wonderful. He is captivated and will hang from her lips. In the chorus, it states “I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be love's suicide. I'll be better when I'm older, I'll be the greatest fan of your life.”  This song is worshipping and adoring the other. McCain is saying he will do anything for the other person.

So Small - Carrie Underwood

This song is a perfect example for finding a soul mate as well as friendship in general. It is basically saying that love is the answer and love will conquer all things. Everything spurs off of love. Our actions, our words, are out of love (when we are in a good mood of course). Everything is minute and small once we realize that love is all that matters.

“When you figure out love is all that matters after all, It sure makes everything else seem so small.”
