| Macklemore – Thrift Shop Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"Thrift Shop" isn't particularly deep (although the easy-to-understand message is a great one), but it's not written so the artist can sing bad words. I mean, if you're offended by the language, but like the song, you can probably find a censored version. What the four-letter words add is ethos. Macklemore is a hip hop artist, and his primary audience is, primarily, made up of hip hop fans. Swearing artistically is a part of hip hop. Part of the language. If Macklemore were too squeaky clean, he'd join the ranks of Justin Bieber and Will Smith. And there'd be nothing wrong with that, exactly, but he clearly does not belong there, nor does he seem to want to. |

| Serena Ryder – What I Wanna Know Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This verse is more accurately: Do I watch you leaving Do I have no choice I got desperation Tearing up my voice Can I make you want me Can I love you more How can you leave me here Broke on the floor |

| Serena Ryder – Little Bit of Red Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Color imagery does not have to be political, and I don't take this song as political at all. But even if it were, keep in mind that Serena Ryder is Canadian. In Canada, the red/blue political associations are reversed, red being associated with liberals and blue with conservatives. | |
