Michael Bublé - Crazy Love: ‘Haven't Met You Yet’

‘Haven't Met You Yet’ from Michael Bublé’s fourth album Crazy Love is a successful song of his, which reached #1 in the US and won Single of the Year at the 2010 Juno Awards.

The song starts off with a short introduction of music which is of a nice melody played by the guitar, piano and drums. This could make you remember the tune better as you can focus on just the music you are hearing, without the lyrics to distract you. Furthermore there is a repetitive beat to it which makes you absorbed into the song and want to listen to more of it.
The lyrics are expressing that even though he has been in many relationships before which didn’t work out, but he still has the hope for finding the right girl for him. We can sense great emotions of perseverance through this song which makes many people to feel the same way too.
This song makes me feel comfortable and happy when listening to it due to the consistent beat being very easy to listen to. I also find that the lyrics are very well written as I believe it sends out a positive message to people which could give them courage and hope. The tune is also very catchy and makes you want to sing along to it. In addition the dynamic of the song also builds up towards the middle and end; it becomes louder and livelier with more instruments playing in the background. As a result, we can feel further engaged into the song as it becomes more energetic which causes us to want to sing and dance along to it.

Overall I think that this song is really worth listening to as the melody creates a fun and lively atmosphere which would really cheer you up on a bad day.

Taylor Swift - Speak Now :‘Mine’

Taylor Swift’s lead single 'Mine' in Speak Now talks in the perspective of a girl falling in love with a boy who proved her wrong about relationships; as her parents’ bad relationship influenced her thoughts of love being not worth it. This song highlights a sense of maturity due to the way she interprets love which is a change in Taylor Swift’s songs; therefore it is loved by many people. With the first song revealing change, the listeners will therefore be looking forward to the rest of the album. I really enjoy listening to this song because the melody is catchy and most of all the lyrics are quite interesting with the story it tells. It demonstrates strong feelings of love when the boy had illustrated change as he expressed to her “I’ll never leave you alone” after they had argued. I felt touched by this as he proved to her that they were different from her parents who were a bad example to her with their mistakes in their relationship. Furthermore the song starts off slow which reflects on the negative interpretations of love made by the girl. However the beat starts to become faster as it gets to the chorus representing the happiness when she was with the boy. When the boy said that he will stay with her the music then slows down and becomes quieter eventually to nothing. This highlights very well how the girl had felt quite shocked and surprised at how the boy had reacted to the argument. Then towards the end, the beat of the song increases again display a happiness.
As a whole I think that this song is very interesting in the way it presents how people can sometimes feel love to be quite negative, due to the influence of a bad example from their parents. The meaning and catchy beat makes it a song to love no matter how old it is.
