urgh... I hate hearing christmas songs with themes about their "love ones" (read:lovers,patners,boy/girlfriends)!
two more months to go and it's christmas time thus it's not that surprising to hear christmas songs being played eveywhere. but this afternoon, while i was riding the jeep going to the city, i hear five consecutive christmas songs that is more of a love song than "the birth of Christ" song. it doesn't really bother me before but now, i'm starting to react negatively. you see, i'm more of a "lyrics kind of listener". i love the song not because of the music (or melody is it?!hehe), or the voice of the singer but because of the lyrics. if i like the lyrics then i like the song. if the music and the singer is good, then the song will be included in my playlist. (i'm getting out of topic already...) anyways about those christmas songs, what happened to Christmas being a "happy holidays" if all what we're hearing are sad love songs?!...
pasko na sinta ko, hanap-hanap kita...
kung mawawala ka, sa piling ko, sinta
paano nag pasko....
last christmas, i gave you my heart
but the very next day,you gave it away...
pasko na naman, ngunit wala ka pa
hanggang kailan pa kaya ako maghihintay sayo..
imagine hearing these songs one after another...won't it let you think of sad things...aw...
i'm not really the type who gets so excited for Christmas since i'm not yet working (no bonuses and 13th month pay to look forward), i'm not a student anymore (no chistmas vacations to look forward) and i'm just staying at home so it's all the same for me. i'm not even expecting to receive gifts from anyone but if someone would be generous enough to make me feel special then i'd be more than willing to accept it (aw..nagpaparinig!haha) and worse, i don't have that certain special someone to celebrate a mushy christmas with. (this is probably why i'm ranting! now i'm asking myself!haha) seriuosly, i just don't like the idea that the world's celebration of "Christ Birth" is tainted with sad love stories. though i still believe that we ought to make everyday a celebration of Christ's birth, i myself cannot deny the energy surrounding all of us when december comes. and if we continue to listen or if we constantly hear sad stories in a christmas songs do you think it would not affect our feelings about christmas? (in my case it does)
by the way...i'm just ranting! aw..
