Melody and Poetry + a poll!!!

 Hello, I'm BluePuffin!!

 Today I’m going to share 3 poems I wrote and a poll that will define the poem of the month. This time, the song recommendations are:

 “The Glue Song” is a song by the Filipino-born beabadoobee that, as the title indicates, shows how she’s “glued” to someone. The singer talks thoroughly about how she feels about that someone, showing she’s surprised by how that someone is, surprised by how she even found that someone in the first place, and revealing how she loves that someone. The singer showcased many aspects of the Filipino culture in the music video.

 Moving on, “prom dress”, by mxmtoon, is a song mirroring her sadness, how her expectations aren’t met, and how she’s seemingly unable to ever ask for help; specially when she was in high school. She referenced that, since she wasn’t as social as normal, she came off as cold to many. 

It seems she expected prom to be like she saw on the movies, a wholesome experience of cats and rainbows, when, for her, it really wasn’t, she even said she cried on while wearing her prom dress. She thought that maybe, if crying was the contest, she’d be prom queen, which indicated she was really sad and how prom wasn’t really a happy experience. For short, this song retrospects her introverted high school experience and feeling like it wasn’t what it once could’ve been.

 Both songs could be linked to high school years, though the second song more obviously. I believe the first song could also be connected to high school since falling in love starts being common during teenhood, which occurs mostly during high school years. Though that may be similar, the songs represent a largely different reality: one which shows how someone reciprocatedly loves someone and the other shows how they’re not really social at all and aren’t happy with the situation they’re in.

  Hello, I'm BluePuffin!!

 Today, I’m going to share 3 poems I wrote. The song recommendations for today are:

 Lana Del Rey’s “Ride” is a song that, in my opinion, reveals how she wants to “find a home” in the wrong places. However, many interpretations have been made, and the meaning of this song is extremely subjective. Let’s check out some opinions Redditors have:

 The song “anything”, by Adrianne Lenker, just like her song “half return”, has been viral in social media. The singersongwriter, on their Apple Music album information, wrote about how this song came to mind:

“It’s a montage of many different images that I had stored in my mind from being with this person. I guess there’s a thread of sweetness through it all, through things as intense as getting bit by a dog and having to go to the ER. It’s like everything gets strung together like when you’re falling in love; it feels like when you’re in a relationship or in that space of getting to know someone. It doesn’t matter what’s happening, because you’re just with them. I wanted to encapsulate something or internalize something of the beauty of that relationship.”
