Contemporary rock lyrics as poetry

Nature, a tree, a bush, a rock, classic, pop, music!

Welcome back to the blog of poets! This is the last but not least type of poetry I will teach you. It is contemporary rock lyrics as poetry.

Now, here's a question. What is your favorite song? Well, these days, many people like pop music. That's why they are called pop music. Popular music - ular = pop music. No, really. That's how they got the name pop.

For an example, let's use my favorite song. I'm not being selfish or anything. I mean, come on. It's been almost 1 and 1/3 months and no one is joining. So, let's start. This type of poetry is actually like a survey, kind of. Here are the questions.

1) Find your favorite lyrics to a song.
2) What is the name of a song?
3) What is the name of the group? Album?
4) How would you describe this song?
5) What is the song about?
6) What is the theme?
7) Copy your favorite lines and explain what they mean to you.

So here is my answer for the first question. Can you guess what it is?

When i see you, I get blown away
Something inside me is taking over
I start st-stuttering; can’t find the words to say
I feel the opposite of sober

It’s what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It’s like I’m in a dream
And when I wake up I know that you’re still here with me

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away

When i see you, I get blown away
Something inside me is taking over
I start st-stuttering; can’t find the words to say
I feel the opposite of sober

It’s what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It’s like I’m in a dream
And when I wake up I know that you’re still here with me

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away
So take me away
So take me away (take me away)

Ooh
we got one life, we got one heart
Ooh

I’m so in this, I can touch the sky
It’s like we’re on a roller coaster
My body’s aching
And you’re the reason why
Why don’t you come a little closer

It’s what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It’s like I’m in a dream
And when I wake up I know that you’re still here with me

So take me away

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away

All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away

Now do you know my answer for question #2?

2) The song title is one life stand.

I guess it was kind of obvious.

Since this is a bit boring, I'll just tell you the rest of my answers.

3) The singers are Ian Longo & Jay Wainwright, the feat was from Craig Smart, and

4) The song sounds a bit sad, but it is actually a catchy song.

5) The song is about a man telling how he feels when he is close to a women he likes.

6) It's sung when the man is telling the women he likes her for the first time.

7)
It’s like I’m in a dream
And when I wake up I know that you’re still here with me

I chose this because it's kind of awesome, having a dream actually come true and all.

See? I told you it's kind of like a survey.

So, I guess that's all 12 different types of poems. I hope you enjoyed the blog of poets. However, this is not the end. You can all still tell each other more different types of poetry I didn't tell you and all. You can even feel free to talk to each other by posts. Well, anyways, goodbye.

From James K to all other poets.
