New Modern Love

Halestorm

I've got a forbidden love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up
I've got a new modern love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up

I won't pretend that I don't feel
The way I feel
I can't forget the taste of something that's real
Step into my closet and maybe you'll find
Something that'll scare you
Something that you like
Your old familiar logic is poison on your lips
It's nothing in the water
That's just the way it is

I've got a forbidden love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up
I've got an uncommon love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up
I don't care if you don't want it
'Cause I, I got it
Don't care if you don't get it
'Cause I, I still want it
I've got a new modern love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up, no

You can't rewire these circuits any other way
Yeah, you can twist the signal
The message is the same
Step out of your bubble and
Maybe you will find
Something that'll save you
Something that you like
Your old familiar logic is poison on your lips
There's nothing in the water
It's just the way it is

I've got a forbidden love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up
I've got an uncommon love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up
I don't care if you don't want it
'Cause I, I got it
Don't care if you don't get it
'Cause I, I still want it
I've got a new modern love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up, no

Step into my closet and maybe you will find
Something that'll scare you
Something that you like
There's something that you like
There's something that you like

I don't care if you don't want it
'Cause I, I got it
Don't care if you don't get it
'Cause I, I still want it
I've got a new modern love
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up, no

Not giving it up
Not giving it up, no
I'm not giving it up
Not giving it up, no

    I understand that Lzzy Hale is bisexual; could this song be about a female lover?

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
