| Beyoncé – XO Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
@[twoplanets:19057] Very nice points and comparisons made! Part of the reason as to why Beyoncé is so huge is that fans and listeners alike can easily hear that her lyrics are her real life experiences. She's even stated that "These aren't just fun pop songs and random ballads, this is my life (that I write about). Even better, you can hear the emotion whether it be sad, happy, gratefuñ, reminiscent, angry, pissed off, alone, matter of fact, etc. "XO" has all of that. As to the meaning, I agree with you. I dont think she copied the poet, but you are right about us being human and feeling emotion while in or after relationships. Some people are saying that this song is about death, and I just don't see or hear it. Even just reading the lyrics as if they were a poem or journal entry, I still say it has absolutely nothing to do with death. If it was, why would she make the music video all about her and her girls having so much fun at an amusement park?!? I think you've got it right as far as meaning. Nice job! |
