Day 14, which is the final day of Talking about Love with Songs💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🥳🥳🥳 Today’s song is “I will always love you by Whitney Houston” We all get to a certain stage in life when we need to transition into a new person, and at this stage, a lot of people find it so difficult to let go of their old self. They hold on tightly to who they’ve always been that they refuse to embrace growth. Yes, your older version will always be part of who you are, but letting go of that person and growing into a new, better…
The song for today is “Look what you made me do by Adekunle Gold featuring Simi” A lot of times, life circumstances and experiences (directly or indirectly) shapes us into making decisions that might seem too rigid, unfair and unbendable. Especially when it comes to love and loving someone, we tend to build up a wall around us for reasons best known to us. This song shows how true love can breakdown our walls and expose us to feelings we never thought could exist again. It shows us that everyone is capable of loving when they meet the right person….
Today, we’ll be talking about “Mirrors by Justin Timberlake” I’ve always bonded with this song on the basis of talking to my other version (myself), but today, we’re analyzing it from the lover’s perspective. Love flows naturally and genuinely when you see your spouse/ lover as your partner. When you can see yourself in them in a good way. When they reflect the essence of who you are and your legacy. You see them and it feels like you’re looking exactly at your mirror. A mirror boosts your confidence and makes you appreciate yourself more. If a mirror does this…
Today’s song is “Like I’m Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor” This song describes how fickle life is. You might feel you have your partner or loved ones around you forever, but the truth is we can’t determine what would happen the next second. It tells us the importance of appreciating whatever/whoever we have as often as we can without procrastinating. The statement: “I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you” tells us that as long as I’m still seeing you, every moment counts… In this lovely season, please learn how to appreciate those that mean a lot to…
Day 10 of Talking about Love with Songs Today’s song is “Let’s talk about love by Celine Dion” This song defines love on a deeper level. It shows that love is a universal language that has no limitations, knows no boundaries, it’s not culturally biased neither does it consider anyone’s background. Genuine love unites us and heals us in places we’ve never thought we’ve been wounded. Our humanity ought to be measured by kindness, empathy and understanding, which are the qualities of the love we all should aim for… Wherever you find yourself, let love lead. Also be the kind…
Today’s song is “My Baby by Remii and Sinmidele” A lot of times lovers make the mistake of being too familiar with each other, thereby reducing or stopping to express love to their partners after a certain number/period of times. Love/loving is both an action word and a present continuous tense, we ought to keep doing it over and over again. Also love might feel unappreciated when the other person is not loved the way they want and wish to be loved. This song shows the endless confession of love and the satisfaction that comes with loving and being loved…
“BABY GIRL BY NEL OLIVER” talks about the love of a father towards his daughter. As youths, we might not relate with this feeling yet, but a time would come when you would love someone (your daughter/son) so much that letting go feels like an heartbreak. As young parents, you might already know the feeling but not fully, until that very day when the hardest decision is to be made. As parents who have experienced this or are about to, it’s ok for you to feel that way. Whatever category we may fall into right now, let’s all remember that as…
Today, we’ll be talking about “BAD DANCER BY JOHNNY DRILLE” This song is actually one of my all-time favorite songs, it never gets old and I don’t get tired of playing it. It’s a perfect song to be played on a wedding day or anniversary. Our words carry weight, and whatever we say to our partners and the tone in which we say it depicts the kind of atmosphere the relationship will thrive in. Personally, this song shows the importance of watering your partner with beautiful words, it also relays the impact of reassurance in a relationship. A home filled…
Today’s pick is “Tèmi ni Tèmi by Brymo”(apologies to the non Yoruba speakers) This song, to me, depicts a man that has the genuine, authentic love he ought to cherish, close to him but decided to listen to people and test the water. Soon, he finds out that there’s nothing outside and he’s on his own. Now, the only sensible thing to do is to come back and seek forgiveness from the one who has truly stayed with him through thick and thin. So many times, we take those we have for granted because we have been overly familiar with…
