Who Knows What
Love Is?
Being
a young adult that is LDS there are many expectations to date as many people as
you possibly can in the hopes of falling in love. This is something I have had
a hard time doing this whether it be because I don’t want to spend the money on
lots of dates or because I don’t think that the best way to find someone who
you care about. I feel this way because with this method, you could be dating
one person one night and then a different girl the next night. It’s hard to
care about someone when they just become apart of a list. I think the best way
to date is to hang out with people and get to know someone before you make the
leap to going on a date with them. That way you know it’s someone who you
really care about and would want to build a relationship with not just put a
check or an X next to their name. But what do I know. Love is complicated and
that is what I wanted to critique with this piece. I did this by choosing my
favorite love song, which explains the different ways in which people feel about
love and then throwing in other love songs that I feel explore love in their
own way and made it so that it is basically impossible to understand most of
the songs and make it a very confusing mess. I did this because that is how I view
love, a very confusing mess. It also explores the idea that love is different
for everyone and there is no rule book that people should be following on how
to find their significant other. The most important thing is to do what you are
comfortable with and what you like doing. The idea for this project came from a
Strawberry Switchblades song titles “Who Knows What Love Is?” because I thought
that was a great question and the only answer I could come up with is that Love
has many different meanings. This relates to Jenkins chapter because the audience
takes their own meaning and ideas from the love songs they are listening to and
apply in into their own lives. Also love songs are different for each audience
member because they have their own life experiences that shape the way they
listen to and think about a song.
