| Joss Stone – Jet Lag Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I have a love-hate thing with this song. I love her vocals and the music and melody. But i don't like the words. It seems to me that having jet lag and being hungover are typically bad experiences, and so they are bad examples of how one feels when they are in love. But i love to sing along with the song, because of the other reasons i mentioned. I love her voice and mine fits well with hers, so singing along with her songs is fun for me. I used to have this album and found myself having similar opinions of other songs on it, loving the vocals, melody, and music, but disliking the lyrics. A lot of the relationship experiences written about in the songs seem to be from an immature perspective -- which makes sense, because she was quite young when she wrote that album. I just hope she has grown and continues to grow into her talent and that her song-writing skills improve. | |

Good song. :) Not sure why Teairra Marà wasn't more popular.. :/ Perhaps because no one can spell or pronounce her name? She is beautiful and talented. Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes.. I still enjoy this song and Make Her Feel Good. (I don't know any of her other songs.) |

It is very sad that we can let ourselves be so weak for someone who has proven to not be worth it. (If someone has a weakening effect on us, and not a strengthening, uplifting effect, they aren't worth it.) I can relate to this song, because i, too, had a lover that i kept accepting back into my life, after repeated break-ups and fights. It's stupid that we do this to ourselves. It's not love, it's dysfunction. If only we would get that through our heads. I don't believe that this song necessarily condones weakness or gives us permission to be weak in the way the storyteller is weak. I love how she is calling out to others to help her be strong. Mother, Annie, and Sally are asked to help her, because she knows what she may do, and fears that she'll do it yet again. She needs reminders of how this guy mistreated her, wasn't right for her, to help her keep her focus. She ends up letting down her guard yet again for this guy.. and feels sorry for her friends who don't understand her devotion for him. She begins the song with sentiments of "Friends, please help me. He's not good for me." She then transitions to sentiments of "Friends, you don't understand. I love / need him. He is good for me." A very well done song. But we can't let songs like this give us an excuse for settling for dysfunctional relationships that just are not sustainable.. We need to learn lessons from it and grow and mature in our understanding of what love is and what it isn't. A song like this is good, but only if it is balanced by songs of strength or empowerment. This song is too much about feeling sorry for yourself and then finding a false strength and false empowerment. This is a song about codependency and enabling -- not about true and undying love. GREAT song, and i have always loved it! |
