You're The One - A Thorn for Every Heart

Getting away from dating and relationships, “the romantic” is everywhere including music.  I listen to many genres of music from folk-rock to dubstep, but my all time favorite is music around the punk-rock genre.  I chose to look at a song from one of my top bands, A Thorn For Every Heart.  I’d like to point out that there is “anti romantic” in their name.  The song I chose is You’re the One.  I have posted a link to a Youtube video with the lyrics above.

From the title you can tell that it is a sort of “romantic” song.  I assume the song is being sung to a girl. The song starts off saying how nothing is changing and everytime he gets his hopes up they are let down.  But if she would give him the chance, he would do his best to make things better.  The refrain is saying how she means everything to him.  He sings that she can run away, but he will find her and try to convince her to stay.  The second verse, he sings that she’s his vessel with an anchor that will never stray meaning that he doesn’t want to be with anyone else.  So the “romantic” in this song is constructed by the strength of the singers love for this girl, although most love songs “romantic” is constructed like this one.

This song conveys a love message, just like every other love song.  It conveys that he would do anything, even track her down, to get back to her... “You can run, you can run, you can run away.  I would find you and convince you to stay.”  The title, “You’re the One” is saying that she is the one for him and i previously state, he would do anything to get her back.
