Even this song is very personal to vanessa, I think it's really relateable... To me, it's about sticking it to the man and living the life you want to live the way you want to live it.
And it's been stuck in my head all day.. that's definitely good news. And what's weird is that it's catchy, even though the lyrics don't repeat nearly as much as the majority of top 40 songs.
Very well said. I completely agree. Even though it is personal to V as it contains events in her life, everyone can relate to the general theme. I am all for living your life the way you would like to live it - not the way others would like you to live.
The only thing is this is very similar to White Houses. Before any shouting starts - I LOVE White Houses. But I do think that one of the reasons why it didn't do well as a FIRST single is that even though everyone could relate to the theme of a coming of age story/song, the events were still very personal to V. Most singles are not this personal, but more general to the theme. I think it would have done well as a second or third single. Of course the main reason it didn't do well was the lack of promition which has been hashed out so many times. And of course Irv won't let that happen this time around. But I still say it is just as risky as WH was....maybe even more so since it doesn't have a chorus.
oh well, I love it and I still hope it does well. I'm sure she will promote it through the theme of living the way of your heart and soul. And I hope others see it for what it is.
