Just Give Me A Reason

Just Give Me A Reason Official Music Video

by Pink feat. Nate Ruess of Fun

                 For weeks now, this song has been playing in my head ... Guess, I've been suffering from LSS or Last Song Syndrome for a long time now .. Mom even noticed that I played this on repeat and asked me, what's with the song ... why i like it? Well, I don't know. Can I relate with  its lyrics? No. Not at all.

            But then again, what's the message of the song? How would one interpret it? Syempre, kanya-kanya yan. On my part, in my opinion, I think it is about a couple whose relationship is on the rocks. One sees the inconsistencies and recognizes that there is something wrong and the other is in denial. There are lines that goes:

"Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love"
 

"I thought that we were fine
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'

And it's all in your mind"

One thinks that it's already over and the other still trying to fix everything. Both have different thoughts but both still have the same feeling for each other and just wanting to have a reason for staying and save the relationship, as song title says. "Just give me a reason". Do I have a point? Am I right? 

    

                 Hmm. . This kind of situation in a relationship, does it happen? Can it happen? I guess, it does. I've heard similar story from different couples. I've seen relationships falling apart due to certain issues. Couples where in one is already unhappy and has given up and the other still trying to hold on ... Or couples who knew that their relationship is not working anymore but still can't let go ... Why? Why is it that are people who still clings, who holds on and not letting go?? Why? Surely, You'll get a lot of answers to this question from those people ... like: "We've been together for a long time. Sayang naman." and the most popular, "I still love him/her" or "Mahal ko pa siya".

                  Attachment. Love. Yes, these are some of the major explanations why one would choose to stay and keep the relationship. Having to call it quits with the relationship where one has gotten so attached and in love with, will have to wake up one day that he/she is already alone and things had come to an end .. So instead of losing everything, instead of losing that special person, one would hold on to a single reason for staying ... and even if the reason is just a simple and ample amount of LOVE that was left. Just like in the song:

"Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again"

                 Well, siguro nga ganun nga talaga pag nagmahal .... maybe that's how love works .. So if my interpretation of the song is correct and the same with most of the people, probably, a lot my relate with the song ... and no wonder why I often hear this song anytime, anywhere ... :)
