Define 'stranger'?


Did anyone else play Sing It! growing up? 

Ignorance by Paramore. 

Yes, the first time I heard this song was in fact while playing the Wii video game. The sharp guitar and drums start off with strong vocals. The piece is classified as alternative rock. 

The gist of the lyrics relates to letting someone go, how time and distance can transform a relationship into strangers.

Yeah, the friends that stick together / We wrote our names in blood / But I guess you can't accept that the change is good. 

Well, you treat me just like another stranger / Well it's nice to meet you, sir / I guess I'll go / I best be on my way out. 

There is something particularly liberating about the intensity in the music, pace, lyrics, and instrumentals. 

As always, I'll leave something for you to decipher. 

If you click on the album cover below, you can listen or re-listen to "Ignorance" by Paramore on YouTube. It's from 2009! Let me know thoughts, emotions, ideas, sparks, creations, or memories that come up while the instruments hum into your ears. 

Warm regards, 
Nai
