Lyrics:
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it, 'cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin', I'ma need a better reason
To write you a love song today
(Yeah) Today, yeah

The 2000s* were a strange, creative, nostalgic, interesting time for music videos.
So were the 90s....and early 2010's....
Every decade is a strange, creative, nostalgic, intersting time for music videos.
Facts
They are way better then the new ones...I mean the new ones are terrible!
Yup. :)
This came out in 2008 that's late 2000s
She didn’t want to write a love song, instead she wrote a hit song
Chumi lol it’s a meme from the mtv’s or something I thought it would be funny to put that meme as my name thingy
Chumi when say someone is that butch is actually a positive. Kind of like saying someone is the one. This person loves them some normani I’m sure of it lol.
😄
😂
I'd be honored if some Sara Bareilles fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of LOVE SONG in tribute to one of the greatest albums of the '00s decade as well as to the release of Sara's 5th full-length album, Amidst the Chaos. Live acoustic on my YT channel with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Producers make Sara write a love song.
Sara proceeds to drop a hit song about the cracks in the music industry, disguised as a love song. Its Masterpiece in my opinion.
Task failed successfully 😅
❤ superbly thinking 😊
she is literally telling them that she won't write a love song.
Similar to R.E.M. and their song "Shiny Happy People":)
If I remember correctly, some other singers/bands have also done such things to counter the producers/labels stifling of creativity and/or greedy desires.
@@fouzanium more like malicious compliance
The lyrics are so clever. Works perfectly well as a love song. But the other meaning is still so clear, and the the title “Love Song” just adds insult to injury for the record label. I love it!
It turned out to be a successful song though, which is exaclt what a label would want
I mean she's honest about she's doing. She's not going write a love song, here's why.
They really don't care😂 they made more money than her
injury of having the profit they wanted?
This is the song I secretly blast in the car when the homies aren’t around.
Bob Sman yessirski 🔥😭
Alejandro Dorval haha aww
Tints up moon roof open.
I laughed aloud at this comment.
SAMEE
I love how her label told her to write a love song and she wrote this song to say fuck you and spent 20 weeks in the top 10 of the charts.
IKR SHE A BADASS
+louis smeets Is that really what happened?
RonZ Ombie yes
+louis smeets the best part, if you actually try to find meaning in this song, she doesn't say fuck you, she basically says, "hey i'm just not in the mood to make a love song and i just don't wanna make a song that i don't put my hearth n and i sure as hell aint' gonna do it just to please you, so please just trust in me and let me make the songs i feel like doing and when i'm ready i'll write you ONE HELL OF A LOVE SONG,"
+louis smeets this is a love song though, about not writing a love song?
I remember the days when this was constantly on the radio stations. Those days were simpler. They seem so peaceful and quaint.
I mean, sure... you lived at home and your bills were paid for by your parents.
And so far away. I was working my way through college. Good times and bad.
I was grinding it out in an office. Great song. Retired at present....funny, but I miss it all now.@@inahuffman6999
Watch Girls5eva, it's so funny and perfect for these days and "remember those days"...
We need more music like this. I miss the 2000s 😢 life was so much easier!!!
Prolly coz we wer kids back then.
I agree on that 1 million percent ❤
I was born in 1969. Life was so much easier when I was growing up.
Life was simpler in the 80s, from 2000 onwards was destroyed but technology
This song actually wasn’t about a guy! The studio execs had demanded that she should write a love song or they’ll fire her. And this is the song she wrote:” I’m not gonna write you a love song ...” Genius 😊
Is that really true? Where did you find this out?
@@cocoavideos yes apparently its true Its on 30 misconstrued songs
I heard that when I was younger on a talk show on 93.7 FM and I was like oh wow lol I'm glad to see that everyone knows this too.
Late late show tonight. She said it was a fan that wanted a love song.
But I read the lyrics. And it sounds more like an fu to a studio or producer or label or whatever layer of control it is
10 years later, still an absolute gem.
D1visor songs in the early 2000s are better than some of the new songs today 2020
This song is 2007
More like nearly 15 years, damn time flies
Holy shit 10 years
Omg I was your 1K like :)
The 2000s truly were different. They were not just the turn of the century, not just the birth of the internet, not just the birth of many of us reminiscing about our childhoods, and not just a golden age of songs, they were magical. All of these reasons made it that way, among a ton of other reasons. It was truly something
Facts
Nothing feels the same anymore, everythings is so depressing and angering now
And nowadays songs are all just basic ass beats singing about sex or whatever and it's terrible. I wish we could go back to making songs like this
Some of us feel the same way about the 80s lol
A classic song indeed. Never get tired of listening to it. Happy new year everyone 2023.
It's not considered a classic until it's 20 years old...
Ngl I just randomly thought of this song and thought “that’s a great song”
@@brucewayne2155 don’t care
@@goatachi7223 must have. People that don't care don't reply!
Happy new year 2024!!!!
I like how she stayed true to herself an wouldn't let the industry change her
👍❤💔 shes not around now
@@Samthebomb1 What do you mean? She just released an album a couple of days ago.
@@Samthebomb1 Girls5eva bruhhhhh
@@viviennewestwoodruinedmylife why?
@@viviennewestwoodruinedmylife
This is literally a song about going against what the industry says, she wouldn’t oblige to the industry and she chose to stay true to herself instead of becoming a “Meghan Trainer” as I like to call it.
if you look up the story behind why she wrote the song, it makes this song 10x better
www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sara-bareilles-story-behind-love-song_us_560fdd34e4b0768127023ecd this is urban legend fam it's not real
Apparently the actual inspiration was frustration that the record company she worked for was rejecting her songs. She was trying different styles, and was no longer happy with the songs because she had changed her style so much for approval. In the end, she allegedly wrote Love Song to say she didn't want to have to change for people to like her, and the company approved.
Now this song doesn't sound like she's talking to a boy at all.
+Erin Edwards no one ever said it did.
+Bia Beato stfu.
She is just incredible.
Writes a masterpiece because she was asked to write a love song, we needed it.
A voice and a piano.
and a drumset, a bass and a guitar
plus the extra tracks for harmonizing the vocals - idk if you know but people can't usually sing chords
@@dovahsenbrom836
Give a listen to some of her live performances.
2024 anyone?
Yep! 1st time for me this year but certainly not the last 3.11.2024 ♥️
Yep
👋🏻
Present
Yes after girls5eva 😂😂😂
Anyone else randomly has this song stuck in their head even tho you haven’t heard it in years
yup...happened to me today
Yup
omgggg i thought i esa the only one, this is so weird
Brotha, haven’t heard this song in like 10 years and it randomly was in my mind this morning
Yea.. i had this song in my head and now I feel nastaljic
the irony is that she wouldn't have written this incredible, iconic song had the label not demanded that she write a love song
Thats not true,and sara already explain the true history.
@@girlboss3426 what is it
The Lord's mysterious ways.
No, no one asked her to write a love song.
www.huffpost.com/entry/sara-bareilles-story-behind-love-song_n_560fdd34e4b0768127023ecd
Anyone in 2024? 🤔
this song gets better and better with time
FR
No you're all alone in 2024
Craig sent me
JANUARY 2023: I just learned the backstory of this song (the record label wants a love song) and it blew my effin mind! What genius lyrics. It works on so many different levels. Bravo Sara, bravo!
A middle finger in song form. Not to a partner, but to her record label.
Fr though. One of my favorite songs of all time!
Didn’t do her career any harm did it. She is fantastic.
What if her record label asked her to write a song about refusing to write a love song?
That wouldn't exist without the label telling her to do it.
It's funny to me that this song, and the song y'all want a single by Korn are basically the exact same thing.
this song right here reminds me of my childhood and the good old days damn 😭
I know 😭
Dude I feel the same way😭😢😥😪
same
if this song was your childhood then you are still in your childhood cause this song was like 5 years ago.
+Garlicjr Made it s actually 9 years, it was released in 2007
If I were the record exec that asked for a love song, and was delivered this....I would never let this talent leave my company!! This is absolutely genius, video included (it plays on the same themes and fits right in the 2000s videos). GENIUS.
It’s like seeing an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time 😢 have not heard this song in years
Have you seen Girls5eva? So so good
love song.... a song about not writing a love song.. it was a big middle finger to her producers who wanted her to write a love song....if im not mistaken.
You're mistaken. It happens.
then what is it about....I heard that her producers wanted her to make a love song to get people to notice her, so instead she wrote this song.
The lyrics to me, make sense in the belief that she "flipped off" her producers
That makes sense.
Somebody read Sounds Like Me :D
11 years now, its 2021, and I still love this song and find it so nostalgic
maybe my math is bad, but i think songs from 2008 are 13 years old now... I'd be honored if some Sara Bareilles fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LOVE SONG and MORNINGSIDE on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of her early creative masterpieces. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace & stay safe in the '020s.

@@willritter4076 I dont know when it came out, fact is it says 11 years, that's why I wrote 11 years, I was literally 2 years old in 2008 so...
Anything from the late 2000s are very nostalgic for me. I was about 9 or 10 and heard these songs everywhere.
Ssme
This Song Iz From 2007 🅿️
I knew the reason behind this song, I just realized after so any years that not only did she slapped back at them, but she metaphorically, in the video, did it from the shelf inside the cabinet they had her tucked away until she wrote them “a love song”!!! 🤩🤯💀
Love it even more! I keep coming back to it because it’s so good!
14 years old and I am still in love with Sara and this song. What a great musical talent!
I haven't heard this song in *YEARS* and it just randomly popped into my head and made my whole week! 😀 Memory loss sucks, but sometimes it's helpful. Hoping for a better year in 2019! ☺️.

+Aiman Nazri by the way darling if you are writing a live song the privelage is there's excuse the english
1st grade bus ride an older lady friend loved this song. brings back good memories
February 2024: Standing in line at the UPS Store and “Love Song” comes on over the in-store speakers…💜
I started moving a little to the music and singing along under my breath. I hated that I had to leave the store before the song came to an end and so I decided to listen and watch the video on UA-cam.
Awesome song and the reason behind its existence is brilliant! Thank you Sara for such a great song! Love it 💜
I'd be honored if some Sara B fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of LOVE SONG and MORNINGSIDE in tribute to 2 of her early creative masterpieces. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace & stay safe in the '020s.
It's on my playlist 😊😊😊
I remember sending the song to the first guy I fell in love with in my life, in high school and he was mocking me for liking this type of music but I felt something when I heard this song and how Sara Bareilles stands for herself and it was so catchy. It helped me realized he was really not right for me and if my dreams came true, I would have regretted being with him so it's good I stayed alone in high school. At least I could make awesome playlists with awesome singers helping me going through days and days in hell-school. It was in 2010s. Time flies.
"im not gonna write you a love song today"
ME-"well what about tommorow?"
"I'm maybe going to write you a love song..."
-day later- im not gonna write you a song today. didnt finish it on time
tomorrow* 😂
Lol
A WINNER IS YOU!!
These type of old songs always have that bold creative style like they can come up with everything they thought of. I get to really miss that type of raw use of creativity these days, Love that raw power.
Reminds me of Vanessa Carlton! She has some pretty great works other than the ever so popular A Thousand Miles
Pre pervasive-social media
People still have raw creativity. They just don’t get mainstream attention. Look for it
Check out Lawrence - Don't Lose Sight
Damn, if this is "old", that makes me ancient.
She's written a universal story in an epic song that's basically for all occasions in one an she did it her way like a boss.
I don't know if anyone still reads these comments, but I was telling someone the origin story of this song and I had to come listen again. The song means so much more knowing the backstory. It was just a catchy tune until I knew the bravery it took to deliver this to the record company. I can really feel the emotion in the song. I guess those jerks were right after all. All the best to you Sara.
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason
To write you a love song today, today
I learned the hard way
That they all say things you wanna hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason
To write you a love song today
Promise me, you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight my guide gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason
To write you a love song today, today
Thank you
anybody else able to hear the song perfectly in their head just reading this? :D
Thank you!
@@endeavor1664 Yes!!
Yes. And ya know? It makes even better sense if you know she’s singing that at the record label who wanted a love song

One of the most played songs in the grocery stores while me and my mom walked down the aisles oh memories.. 😭
aisles
@@gregcosta4598 thanks 🙏 I'll fix it that's one word I just learned I didn't know how to spell correctly. 😂
It’s funny because hearing it in a grocery store is how I remembered about it 😭
This shop I go in still plays it literally everytime I'm in it ahahahaha
Anyone else on a nostalgic hits binge???
Haha, I just love how her label told her to write a love song, so she wrote a song about not writing a love song, and called it Love Song. I love her haha.
***** Oh you know it! Lol
This song is still catchy. Deserves more recognition.
But to be fair it spent 363 weeks in the charts
+Silent Swiftness 😂
your cute OC deserves more recognition
+terros blue Aww, thank you! The world needs more people like you.
you are welcome :D
I genuinely adore how this song calls out the commodification of art and music, and the constant desire for content thats exactly what people “want to hear” suffocating the creative freedom of artists. Corporations don’t care about giving a message that’s meaningful or creating something that matters, they care about maintaining a status quo that maximizes their profits- and this song does a great job at portraying that through the context, lyrics and visuals. Genuinely fantastic work
I completely forgot that this song existed and today I heard it on the radio and remembered it! I can’t believe it’s been 16 years, I was 11 when this song was constantly played on MTV
If you know the history behind this song you know she’s funny af
Just found out today, and paid close attention to lyrics, I am speechless, how savage
FACTS
tell me
shes a fvcking genius
She wrote it because she would get fired if she did not
I am a grown ass man and this is one of my favourite songs of all time
+LocoMrLee Same here, but i cant resist the song man!
+LocoMrLee Heyyy, that's okay this song is really good. If it is than you have good taste in music and a decent person :)
+LocoMrLee Young man here, but still. If it sounds good it sounds good.
Same here, man. 😂
😂 I'm in here killing this gym sesh to this 👀👀
Damn, she's so amazing. Her sweet style, her beauty and of course her voice is incredible.
This song is so nostalgic. Before VEVO there was VH1. Can't believe how much music has changed since then.
Yes
Talk about memories
I was in 4th grade when this song came out!
Metaphysical Mike I was in jail....
I was one.
I was 14 yo :o
Metaphysical Mike i was in my junior year ❤️
I was in 2nd grade
this song reminds me of simpler times
same....
Grell in Wonderland EXACTLY
Grell in Wonderland only 8 years ago man
Grell in Wonderland 10 years ago
Just something alluring about the past
It's been so long, but this has been on my head for some reason. *Anyone watching this in 2024* :)
This is so clever. I have never actually seen the music video before. It's so good.
Yeah, less than pleasant memories of my ex.
Ah yes: the magic of early 2000s special effects.😂❤
i actually miss this year of my life a lot for some reason
omg same :(
Same
same
I feel the same 😭
Maybe you remember because, it was the year before your lost you shit… Brit…
So I'm not the only one who has been hearing this song for years, but never actually knew who the singer was until now? And then proceeded to listen to all of the singer's music?
Funny how's there's always new meaning to some of the lines of this song. I've loved it since I first heard the initial chords...then I started listening to it and was in awe. It's just the kind of upbeat, yet grounded energy (lyrics) I want to carry around and give to myself and others. Thank you madam.
This song was a favorite growing up and now I get to watch her show at 25. Looking back this song has so much of a deeper meaning. Love it
As far as I have heard, Sara Bareilles was forced to make a love song because if she didn't, then her career is over. So...here it is...She expresses her feelings on this song, and guess what? The producers loved it!
You know, every artist singer must have at least a love song...I hope I'm not mistaken about this
you're actually right.
Elcompadago Yay!
+Breeze Royals Studio Its true! Look my comment for further info ;)
+Breeze Royals Studio if you really want to know about the inspiration behind this song, you should read Sarab's book. There's a chapter explaining the whole story behind this song. totally recommend it.
"Head under water and you tell me to breathe easy for a while." One of the great opening lines you will ever hear.
I came here to see if anyone else wrote about this. I haven’t heard this song for a while and forgot it started that way. It made me cry when I heard it today.
Is it about anxiety?
@@leonardocarneiro9520 Anxiety, and the calm advice we get from the "unstressed, not-under-pressure" friend while we feel like we've totally lost control. I think. But I might be wrong.
Remember listening to this on my tv. This song brings me so much nostalgia for when i was a kid.
Damn came out 14 years ago and it’s still a banger in 2024🫨🤝🏼
I heard on the radio she wrote this when her manager told her he needed a love song
That's right. A lot of people don't know that. :P
Justin Datkins AMEN!
I think it was her record company, actually...but same idea.
Justin Datkins She's beautiful too, and she has respect for herself and others. God bless her :)
03:52 _“If your heart is nowhere in it, I don’t want it for a minute…”_ this whole sequence- the melody, the reverb, the music. Truly the pinnacle of early 2010s Pop Music, and what I consider to be a *perfect moment.*
It's from 2007.
Late 2000s early 2010s were magical
She is resentful of the record company wanting a love song for the money.
This song has so much meaning to me when I was a child I remember walking with my late mother singing this with her on her flip phone. And I’m down I listen to this song and think of those moments when life was good
I'm Afro-American male who LOVES this tune and Artist 🎶
We can all agree on how fucking pretty she is, right?
dude YES!
Totally agree ... especially in this music video where she's thumbelina sized , so fu**ing adorable
She's beautiful
+PancakeCats My thoughts exactly. The parts where she wears the dress especially. The way she looks and smiles....she's gorgeous.
+PancakeCats Indeed. But in a strangely approachable, non-intimidating way, somehow.
I met him when I was 17 years old. He was 16 but was so mature for his age. We lived together for 4 years until we separated. Few years later we reconnected but was too late, he had a family and I was already in another relationship. Last phone call from him was him saying how sorry he was and if he had met me at a later time in his life he would have known better and treated me right. We ended our very last phone call with him saying I will always love you no matter where we go in life. Yesterday his soul went to rest. This song reminds me of my 17 year old self living with my then 16 year old bf at his parents house. I can remember the room we shared and the order of the house with this song playing on the tv. 😔 It's funny how the mind works even after 10 years later the memory is clear. One of the most precious memories I will always hold close to my heart. This song will always remind me of him. RIP my friend. Thank you for what we had, I'll never forget you ❤️
Nostalgia sucks, to be honest. Hope things get better
@@Nediler thank you for your message. Appreciate it x
@Kiel Enrique thank you for your kind words. Appreciate it. :)
Very touching
Wow. Thats beautiful.
I grew up on classic rock and post-punk. I'm surprised I ever heard this pop masterpiece, but it's extremely good. Sara Bareilles rocks so hard.
I have a history with this song, I listened to it when I was little on TV, I was looking for it for years without success, I only remembered the melody, I had already given up until one day I was riding in a car and this song started playing on the radio and after 13 years I could hear this song again.

A beautiful woman and a talented singer she deserved more recognition!
History lesson...her producers told her that she doesnt have any love songs out.. that she should...thats the popular thing ... well this is what she came up with :)
pretty funny
I LOVE THAT! That's amazing
NO it's not actually. Have you read her book sounds like me?
Nareek Hackett because he is that producer
mothing at all...i think its cool
Girls5Eva brought me back to thissss
Man, I listened to this song on the radio on my way to college 14 years ago. It was very popular.
Finally someone here in 2024
"I'm not gonna Raichu a love song"
Clearly she's got something to do with Pokemon. She also has the song "I Choose You".

I can literally remember this song like it was yesterday. It was my senior year, I went to subway and this song was playing on the radio. I had a tuna sandwich and enjoyed listening to it.
COOL STORY JERB
@@RikkiBlu Thanks young man, appreciate it
Sounds like a great time
Hope you at least had some chocolate chip cookies
Tuna! I didn't know anyone got those from subway :P
Watching Girls5eva and her character says, “I’m not gonna write them a love song cause they asked”. I hadn’t heard this song for years but instantly it clicked! Love it.
Here for the very same reason! I literally shrieked out loud
same haha
god this chord progression really is dopamine and nostalgia charged.. I mean its just simple d, f and a but so so catchy I love it.
I was in 5th grade when I first heard this song. 😮 I'm in college now 😶
Theworldisbeautiful9 you're supposed to be in 11th grade because this was posted six years ago and you said you were in fifth grade so stop lying
This was posted after the song got at least a year after the song popular 😑
Shubaita Raisa she said the first time she heard it not the first time she saw the video. music isnt limited to just youtube videos
Theworldisbeautiful9 i graduated man. i am older than most people now 😢😭😭😭

I thought it was by Kelly Clarkson.. 😂

Christopher Collado Same here :P
Wow! Haha! well now we know. I really like Sara Bareilles`s Brave, its such a masterpiece!
Christopher Collado me too
I've been looking for this song for years.However, I didn't know the title, so there was no way to find it.However, I came across a great app that hummed to search for the name of the song, and I was able to meet this song.I It's amazing!!
from a 17-year-old Japanese
this is a certified hood classic
Oh God...this song feels so nostalgic~ * o *
I was 13 or 14 when I heard this song....and it's still a great song! :)
Omg I was 11 or younger ? Idk but I like it sooouuu, and btw I love k-pop♡♡
Dorsinlake Yang Me too but I guess you already knew it from my profile picture~ :D
Dorsinlake Yang do you love EXO?!
Diondra Evans yes of course, ich liebe
Sie
yay!!!!! Exo-L!!!!
Oh, is that right. I thought she was referring to an crush she had that wouldn't lay off and she didn't wanna write a song for them. That's what I thought this was about.
Nope, the label wanted to force her to write a love song, and she found a way not to.
Quiet as kept, I'd been a fan of the song for years before I ever knew the artist's name; it is one of my faves from the early 2000s.
Now you know :)
I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia for the simpler times
this is the cutest video ever!! im even watching this in 2016!!!! XD
Same
+Julia Finch same...i love it
Me to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Julia Finch IKR?
me
I just now realized how much I enjoy this song. Sara rocks!
After reading the comments about how this is actually not a love song I love this song even more. Sara is brilliant!
OMG! SHE WAS THE ONE THAT DID THIS!?
For the longest time I tried to find out who sung it but never knew. Oh wow.
Love you Sara XP
Me too , i listened it in the radio but ... i never find it ... BUT NOW *u* In love with this song , when i searched it i thought that Kelly Clarkson singed this song ..but its Sara x3'
if that opening piano doesn't just instantly make you happy, I question if you're human
I AGREE WHAT A GREAT SONG :)
This whole album is one of my all time faves. Thanks Sara. 🥰
I heard she left Twitter. I knew she was a singer or actress or something. This was the only song I somewhat remembered. So obviously no big loss.
I agree! Go woke, go broke!
Yeah, I usually separate the artist from the person.
Here I am in 2020, just realizing that she is the same person that also wrote Brave and the songs of Waitress: The Musical. My brain never made that connection and I’ve missed precious time not admiring her. So now I’m in Coronavirus Self-isolation and just trying to soak up as much of her awesomeness as I can to make up for the time lost.
*realization time* OMFG
THATS WHAT I JUST REALIZED WHEN I LOOKED THIS SONG UP AND SAW HER NAME
How dare you just drop this on me!
Yes exactly this!
Great song but makes me a feel a bit old now that this song is already 7 years old!
4 years or so
ProfessorGubbinstien It Actually Came Out In 2007
How old are you?
35
Fuck u *****
Everytime I hear this song, I think of the year 2008. I remember listening to this song for the first time at the Barnes and Noble bookstore in Union Square NYC in February 2008… man I miss those times…
I remember the very week this song came out. I had started BEP Chemo for treatment of germ cell cancer that very Monday (June 18, 2007). I know it's kinda crazy but this song helped me keep my spirts up when the side effects of the chemo were too hard to bear (even with the anti nausea meds I was prescribed by my Doctor)
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Head underwater and they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me, it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
[Pre-Chorus]
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you asked for it, cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving, I'm a need a better reason
To write you a love song today
(Yeah) Today, yeah
[Verse 2]
I learned the hard way that they all say
Things you wanna hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you
And your twisted words, your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
[Pre-Chorus]
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you asked for it, cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving, I'm a need a better reason
To write you a love song today
[Bridge]
Promise me
That you'll leave the light on
To help me see
With daylight, my guide, gone
Cause I believe there's a way
You can love me because I say...
[Chorus]
I won't write you a love song
Cause you asked for it, cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song (Ooh)
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this, huh
Is that why you wanted a love song? (Yeah)
Cause you asked for it, cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song (Write you a love song)
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you (I want you) to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it, I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas (Walk the seven seas)
When I believe that there's a reason
To write you (Write you) a love song today
Today (Yeah), yeah
Why dont we have more of this kind in the pop music? :D Amazing song, amazing backstory, amazing video
Sophie Liemann I completely agree
Sophie Liemann because this is an old era of pop music that I wish would come back
