Thank You, Tove Lo

She just gets it, ya know?

Thank You, Tove Lo

I've never identified with a song as much as I do with Tove Lo and her song "Timebomb." She sounds more like she’s talking than singing, which is great because I can’t sing for the life of me. It doesn’t really have a catchy flow and I can’t really hold a rhythm. Its perfect.

“We’re not forever

You’re not the one”

Those are the lyrics that repeat themselves over and over for the chorus. Tove Lo knows that not every boy you go out with is going to be The One. You will not fall madly in love with every man you spend your Friday nights with. You most likely will have more heartbreak and agony than love. She understands reality instead of an artist like Taylor Swift, who gives false hope. Don’t get me wrong, Taylor Swift has some amazing songs like "Better than Revenge" or "Picture to Burn" that can be realistic. But it's the hits like "I’d Lie," "Today was a Fairytale" and "Our Song." Her hits convey that some boys will sweep you of your feet in a whirlwind romance when the chances of that happening in our teen years are slim to none.

Tove Lo gets that she’s creating a Timebomb. Every new relationship is the beginning to an end. Only downside is we just don’t know when it will blow up, or who it will blow up on.

“You and I could be the best thing ever

We’re not happy ever after

We don’t got what it takes

And we don’t make plans

‘Cause we’re never gonna last”

She really captures that not all men will last like we image in our heads. Because, let's face it, after a month or two of seeing someone new, we ladies get a little crazy. We think about what we want him to get us for our birthday, which could be seven months away or Christmas when its May. We think what game you can get the two of you tickets to, even though its post season currently. Tove Lo doesn’t show her crazy. She doesn’t make plans because she set off the Timebomb quicker than milk's expiration date. She knows better than to think too far ahead when it isn't going to last.

“But really, what’s the worst thing that could happen

When the worst thing that could happen, could be the best thing ever”

I think the above lyrics are by far the best in the song. I've jumped into going out with one too many jerks and scumbags thinking that I can turn them around. I've been with total players and thought I could make them settle. My outcomes were not the best things ever. Her lyrics made me think, what if I tried someone completely out of the ordinary? The worst thing to happen could possibly be the best thing ever.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
