Music Transitions
Today I am removing the song "I Get Weak" by Belinda Carlisle from my iPod.
I don't need any songs reinforcing my tendency to lose myself, to diminsh, when I am in a romantic relationship.
I don't want my daughter hearing lyrics that connect love with becoming weak, in losing her strength in the face of romantic/sexual attraction to a male.
Swooning is a lovely feeling. I hope I feel it again. I hope my daughter experiences it some day.
But these lyrics romanticize something I don't find romantic anymore.
