Top 100

                There are many songs in today’s society that describe the way one may feel.   At times one may feel like giving up on a project they are working on or even giving up on a relationship. Yet at times even when one feels like giving up a relationship another maybe falling in love. Or sometimes one may just want to just pick a place and just get away from everything going on around them. Some amazing songs to describe some of these feeling that one may feel are: Deuces by Chris Brown, Teenage Dream by Katy Perry, and Roll With It by Easton Corbin.

                The song Deuces by Chris Brown is a great example of how in today’s society some are struggling with a relationship or another form of a problem and they just give up. In the song Chris is telling this girl that he used to be in love with “deuces”, which means bye/peace. He cannot put up with the relationship anymore and is leaving. In life there always comes a time when one just gives up on trying in their relationship or something that they are working on, and this is exactly what Chris Brown is signing about. Chris knows exactly how it feels to just stop trying just like others in the world do.

                Even though some feel the need to give up on their relationship, others start to fall in love. In the song Teenage Dream by Katy Perry, Katy sings about two people in love. No matter what these two can always feel free to be themselves around each other. The girl does not even have to wear make up with this guy and he will think she is pretty. When they are together it feels like a “teenage dream”, meaning everything to them is perfect. So many people in society today are falling in love or are already in love and they feel extremely happy with the person they are with. So even though some people may feel like saying bye to one they had once cared about there are still people showing that they love someone in this world.  

                At one point in life one will just feel the need to escape from everything they have going on. Easton Corbin’s song, Roll With It, is a great example of this feeling. In the song Easton tells his wife to just pick a place on the map and to pack her things because that is where they are going. They just stop whatever they had planned and go on a trip to get away from their “ordinary everyday rut”. This is saying that in today’s society one feels like just stopping what they are doing and just leaving town for a day or two to just relax and live life instead of doing the same old thing every day. Some do not just have this thought and ignore it; they actually get up and do it. So even in today’s society one may just want to escape from life.

                In conclusion, the songs that song writers are writing today describe how one may feel in today’s society. One person maybe wanting to end things with someone they have spent a lot of time with and once cared about. Another person maybe even falling in love with who they think is the right person for them. Or one can even feel like getting out of their everyday routine and just go on a vacation. So even though one may not think it the song they are actually listening to on the radio or on their ipod actually relates to how one may feel.
