DESCRIPTION:
Hello everyone. This is not just the picture of a cactus. It is a demo. Yes. It's called One of My Mistakes. I wrote this a few weeks ago in my room and felt as if it was a rather nice song that I should let you all in on. So why a cactus? Why one of my mistakes? Would this song not better be served as a happy go lucky, falling in love song with the picture of two hopeless romantics riding off into the sunset as if they were the only ones in the world? No. I am a teenager. There are many lovely pop songs that highly romanticize the idea of high school romance (thanks Taylor), but in all honesty, anyone who has any idea of what it's like to have a high school romance knows that above all else it is capital A awkward. I love that. Awkward is fun. I am awkward. I am awkward with the girls who walk around my school that I think are pretty. And before I start a war in the comment section, yes there may or may not have been someone, yes a specific someone, who is particularly beautiful and may or may not have possibly quite potentially inspired one or two of the lyrics for this song, if not all of them. To be honest, I don't really know this person, but every artist must have a muse right? A person who is so beautiful, or an image that is so inspiring, they can do nothing but pick up the pen and write, or the brush and paint, and this is my story. So why a cactus? Cactus's are awkward. Straight up. There you go. Love is painful and it is hard, and in the words of the genius who wrote one of the most quotable movies in human history "anyone who says differently is selling something." I've made mistakes. Almost everyone has. I sincerely don't want to make any more. That's not to say that I won't because I am not perfect and I definitely will, but I will do everything I can to not let it happen, because I want to be some sort of gentleman. Here's the thing. Love is painful. Love is awkward. Love is occasionally symbolized in the image of a cactus upon a white background. But it's worth it. I guess that's all I'm trying to say. Without getting to deep. Cause deep is awkward. Let's not start that again. #oneofmymistakes
