Gasoline- Troye Sivan: So not many people know who Troye Sivan is yet, so I'll start off with a little information about him. He started off as an actor for the Spud movies (The Spud series in a popular book series in South Africa, its actually pretty hilarious) As he grew up he started making YouTube videos and by 2013 he became a popular YouTuber and signed a record deal, and now records his own music. He's Australian.
Gasoline is actually Troye's most personal song on the first album he released TRXYE. This song is all about the feelings associated with heartbreak: pain, sadness, and longing. The song tells a story of how he broke up with his boyfriend because he was looking for someone better, and he knew that he didn't deserve him but a lifelong person in his life.
Last of the American Girls- Green Day: Billie Joe Armstrong was helping rebuild houses after Hurricane Katrina when he rewrote this song. It's written about a fictional girl, and what she would of went through if she had survived the hurricane, and the lyrics compare the girl to a hurricane as well.
And I Love Her- The Beatles: I absolutely adore this song. It's one of my favorite Beatles songs it's definitely my favorite off the Hard Day's Night Album. This song was written in Paul McCartney's ex girlfriend's basement (Jane Asher). It was written as a love ballad and later put into the film Hard Day's Night.
Paradise- Coldplay: This song is about a girl who wants to keep her childlike innocence by dreaming. She had high expectations for her life, like it was suppose to be a fairy tale. In her dreams she lives in the world she wants to be reality.
Santeria- Sublime: This song is about getting revenge after he catches his girlfriend cheating on him.
Snap Out of It- Arctic Monkeys: It's about a guy's ex falling in love with a different guy, but he doesn't want to lose her forever so he hopes it doesn't work out.
Fake You Out- twenty-one pilots: Tyler Joseph the lead singer of twenty-one pilots likes to keep his lyric meanings to himself, but I interpret it as that the person in the song is going through a tough time in their life, but they fake being okay, so people don't have to feel sorry or feel bad about them.
Nice Guys- Chester See, Ryan Higa, Kevjumba: This song was written as a comedy song by the YouTuber Ryan Higa (nigahiga). He wrote it to explain how girls usually fall in love with the "bad guys" so the main character in the song pretends to be a jerk, because being nice never works and how he just wants to compliment his girlfriend but doesn't think he can.
What is and What Should Never Be- Led Zeppelin: The song is about an affair between a man and his wive's younger sister.
You Alone- David Crowder Band: This is a song about how God has given us more than we can ever imagine, and him alone is the only one who can do that. It's also a song about praising God.
This is Gospel- Panic at the Disco: This song was written about how we only remember bits and pieces of our past, and then you create yourself based on those memories. The lead singer Brendon Urie actually wrote the song about the drummer of the band's drug addiction. At the time he wrote the song he was angry at himself and the fact that his friend had an addiction.
I actually did eleven songs...whoops
