Boys like girls: Thunder

This is a writing experiment of mine. I have to write something while listening to a song. Deep emotions, or something preposterous. When the song is over, I publish what I have written. No repeats, no edits. The title of the song is Thunder. It is by Boys like Girls. I will have a set theme for this one, as I do know this song. The theme of the song is love. So I will write about love and how, as humanity we search for it throughout our lives. Here goes.


Thunder is a beautiful thing, just like love. Yet, why do we search for love? To me, it starts when we are born. We drink milk from our mother's breasts, we are doted on as babies. When we are children, adults croon about how adorable we are. But is that really love? We like to think it is, and for a while I think we do.

But then we are hit with a lightning bolt, the blast of thunder leaving us baffled. We start to really see what love is. Love is and isn't at the same time. At one point we realize that just having parents does not equate to love or human compassion. Sometimes blood is love. But for many, they have to look for love in other places: God, food, blood. To me, love is perhaps our own worst enemy.

The song is over. If you wish for me to explain any one thing in the description, please comment and I will respond ASAP.
