[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 9767803, member: 6689464"] For example, "Sealed with a Kiss." I like the music, and I think it sounds very nostalgic and sad. Then I see the lyrics and they kind of don't fit. They are a mountain out of a molehill, first world problems. Boo hoo, you're sad because you can't see your girlfriend while on vacation. Instead of being a stick in the mud you gotta be thankful for the privilege! More so since she is so obviously still at home. Heck, if you're so so sad to be apart why can't you stay home too? Why can't you stay home too?... [SPOILER="The deep reading."] He can't. He isn't going away for vacation. He is being recruited and deployed to somewhere.(Korea? Vietnam? I don't know when ) Why the emphasis on the summer? It is an empty promise made by the people in charge (as in "you'll be back home for Christmas"). Suddenly the whole sadness feels more fitting.[/SPOILER] What is it for you? Which is your deep reading of a song that sounds dumb or silly on the surface? [/QUOTE]
