The song I chose to review is If the World Was Ending by JP Saxe and Julia Michaels. I chose this song because things have been so crazy lately that at times it does feel like the end of the world. Additionally, this song was released in early 2020, right before the coronavirus affected our everyday lives.
Would you love me for the hell of it,
all our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending you’d come over right
The sky’d be falling and I’d hold you tight
And there wouldn’t be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
lyrics from If the World Was Ending
This song is alludes to an earthquake or some kind of disaster that has happened. It is two people who stop caring about their complicated relationship throughout the years and just want to be together. It like this song because it is about what is really important in life. It hints at grudges being held with loved ones or concentration on materialistic possessions or whatever seems important to you that feels like life or death. However, when in a life-changing situation, where people are dying and everything you’ve been doing comes to a grinding halt, you realize that those things that seemed so important actually don’t matter at all. Even in this quarantine, I’ve noticed how happy I am for little things, like eating my favorite snacks or appreciating the fresh air on a nice day. We take these things for granted and although we are all in close quarters with our families and probably driving each other crazy at times, they are what matter most. That is the meaning of this song. Forgetting about everything and being with the one you love during the times that matter most.
