Why Am I Listening To THIS Song?!

An ear worm isn't always worth it.

Why Am I Listening To THIS Song?!
Buster Hein/Cult of Mac

I've said before how I live and breathe with music. It can be something to dance to, to cry to, to laugh with, to sing. But I NEED music as much as possible or I can't function right (I mean... I barely function with it but the music helps). So the other night I was trying to find a song I was in the mood for and nothing was cutting it. I have a lot of favorite songs and I tried as many as I could think of but the beat didn't feel right or the singer's voice wasn't the tone I needed or the message was too uplifting or depressing for just chilling in pajamas reading fanfiction.

Then, a song came to my head out of nowhere.

I didn't question it, just typed it into YouTube search and hit one of the first videos to pop up.

That was it. That was the song I needed right then. Something about the tone was the frequency I needed and the beat was just right. I had that song on repeat the rest of the night.

But the whole time I kept thinking to myself, "Why on god's green earth is Ariana Grande's 'Into You' the song my ears needed tonight?!?!"

I am not a big fan of the singer, I have no connection whatsoever to the lyrics, but I needed that song or I was going to feel off all night.

That sort of thing happens all the time. One night, I'll need Alvin and the Chipmunk covers of early 2000's songs. The next night, I'm listening to Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy. Night after that, I'm trying to find a song from ten seconds of a crack video I was watching. Show tunes then Avril Lavigne's second album then Taylor Swift covers then mashup songs of various artists then pop music covered by punk bands then comedic songs about the struggles of being a straight white man. I might not relate to songs about sex and partying but I am dancing and singing like I totally get it. (Except I REALLY don't.)

"What type of music do you like?" Almost everything???

It doesn't seem to matter if I really relate to the lyrics or if I have no idea what the singer is even saying (enunciate, please). I've listened to songs in Spanish! Because English songs just weren't pleasing to my ears at the time.

Does this happen to anyone else?! A song you wouldn't normally listen to is just what you need? You're usually jamming to hard rock but you've had "Cute Overload" on repeat for three hours? A country fan but for some reason you just want to listen to rap right now? Or maybe your music needs change on the daily and you can't really specify what you're into because it's so varied?

If so, "I'm so into you, into you, into you." (Except not really. I'm not really into anything. It was just a song reference. To the song I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY I AM LISTENING TO.)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
