my top 3 favorite songs are........

My top three favorite songs of all time(well, so far at least) are High School Never Ends By: Bowling for Soup, Big Girls Don't Cry By: Fergie, and You Belong With Me By: Taylor Swift


High School Never Ends is meant to be a funny song about graduating from high school and all leaving behind all the things like the popular kids, the geeks, and the other "groups" of people to find out that the world outside high school is just the same. The band compares famous people and actors to high school students. The song compares the quarterback to Brad Pitt because, usually, the football teams' quarterbacks are hot, and Brad Pitt is known to be hot. Reese Witherspoon is called the prom queen, Bill Gates is the captain of the chess team, and Jack Black is the clown. The song also says that the world outside high school also has people with eating disorders, who dresses the best, who's rich, who goes clubbing, who's on drugs, etc just like the kids in high school.



Big Girls Don't Cry is about a woman who is in love with a man but can't be with him because she has to go out on her own to find out what to do with her life. I love the tune, the melody, and the meaning. She says that she had a lot of fun with her man, but she has to go away for herself and that that has nothing to do with him. She explains that she has to straighten out her life, but she will still love her lover. The chorus is the part I love the most about the song. In the parts in between the chorus, she explains how she spends time with her lover in the form of two children playing in a playground, and at when it starts to get dark she has to go home. It gives the song a little extra "touch."



You Belong With Me is about a girl who is in love with her neighbor, but he has a girlfriend already. She wonders why he sticks with his girlfriend because she sees him arguing on the phone with her all the time. She wonders why he can't realize that he should be with her but he doesn't know that she is in love with him. The boy's girlfriend is a cheerleader and she loves to dress fancy while this girl dresses in regular clothes and is just an average girl. The music video shows that eventually, the boy realizes that he doesn't belong with his girlfriend and that he is in love with his neighbor too.
