Lyrical Study

I chose to do a lyrical study on "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars.  I like this song.  I like it because of the singing, the music, and I think that it is cute.  I think it is cool that this song is not inappropriate.  I think that in this time, and in that style of music, it is cool to be inappropriate and suggestive.  But it isn't.  All they are doing is exposing young kids and teenagers to things that aren't right. They are teaching them that it is cool to go to bad stuff.  I like this song because all he does is compliments his girlfriend.  He is telling her she doesn't need to change anything about her, and that she is perfect just the way she is.  Of course she isn't perfect, none of us are.  I think girls should hear this more often. Not always from a boy, but even from media.  This is not what the media is telling us at all. The media is telling us that we need to look a certain way, dress a certain way, be a certain weight, and height. This really causes problems in teens.  Many people get discouraged about themselves. Even going too extreme.  I like this song because it is taking a different stand to the music industry.  It is also probably successful because of all the teenage girls who listen to this song, and want a boy to say that to them.  Which gets me onto a different subject of where someone's fulfillment comes from.  But from a buisiness stand point, the words really do reach the teenage age and girls.
