#but lost the breakup (a song I enjoy) not sung to a real person!
Text
weird take but I’m fascinated by the use of pronouns in pop music and I think they’re really important and telling
#who are you speaking to? who are you talking about? is it real?#do you mean it?#there’s a range you know#I was thinking about Kelly for example and there’s literally only two times I believe she’s speaking to a real person#and it’s about her dad and that one Christmas song where her ex-husband’s presence is truly felt#Lorde has never spoken to a person in a single song EVER#which used to be fine but then she started telling people to worship the sun and it was like lorde pls#Olivia rodrigo DEFINITELY talking to a person but it was the same one and a very milquetoast person and so it was like girl pls#Maisie is interesting because she’s drifting away from really personal use of pronouns#to something where it’s more about the statement she can make AT them#and it’s personally not working for me though she is actually capable of being very personal#this is honestly why I hate Boy#You can tell she created it in a void just to be mean to an idea of a person#and it’s not about the Person actually being real! because outdoor pool is i believe fictional#and it’s SO true and personal#John Hughes movie too#but lost the breakup (a song I enjoy) not sung to a real person!#and then of course there’s Taylor the most personal user of pronouns there ever was#she can make you feel someone’s whole presence with one use of a pronoun!#like the other girl in girl at home. Or the Great War t b h !!!!#(Katy Perry has never sung to a person in her LIFE but has never pretended to. Adele pretends to but doesn’t. Her one exception? Her kid!)#Okay done speaking on this#This is just how I experience the world akskkdkdjdjdjjejejehehe#If you’re talking and you say ‘we’ or ‘they’ or ‘you’ my heart is just so touched!
