"Over You"

“Over You,” by Miranda Lambert is currently the number seven song according to billboard.com. This song is very meaningful to both Miranda and her husband Blake Shelton. On the radio during the top 40 countdown Miranda told the world why she wrote the song. Blake’s dad had made a comment to him about his brother dying when he was younger. It was along the lines of he would never be able to get over him he would just have to learn to live with it. Blake then asked Miranda to help him write the song and sing it. This song is in memory of his brother who died when Blake was younger.

This is a really good song that has a much deeper meaning once people understand why it was written. Miranda has had a great career lately and this song is definitely another top song for her. 

“Over You”

Weather man said it’s gonna snow

By now I should be used to the cold

Mid-February shouldn’t be so scary

It was only December

I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me

But you went away

How dare you?

I miss you

They say I’ll be OK

But I’m not going to ever get over you

Living alone here in this place

I think of you, and I’m not afraid

Your favorite records make me feel better

Cause you sing along

With every song

I know you didn’t mean to give them to me

But you went away

How dare you?

I miss you

They say I’ll be OK

But I’m not going to ever get over you

It really sinks in, you know, when I see it in stone

Cause you went away,

How dare you?

I miss you

They say I’ll be OK

But I’m not going to ever get over you

"Ours"

This week “Ours” by Taylor Swift is the number two song according to Billboard.com. This is another one of Taylor Swift’s usual songs that talks about relationships. It talks about how people always try and screw things up for other but not to let it get you down. It has a very good memo in it but isn’t much different from her other songs.

This song, along with some others was used on the Hunger Games soundtrack. It is said that her songs helped this movie achieve such popularity. I don’t know if this is true because the movie was already extremely popular. This song is a good song with a very positive attitude. However, I wish she would write about something other than relationships!

Elevator buttons and morning air
Stranger's silence makes me wanna take the stairs
If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now, my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine

And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours

And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and
Your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you

'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
'Cause my heart is yours

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard

And don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours, they can't take what's ours
The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours
