Football Players
From Philip Morris
Dear Editor,
What is your opinion on the fact that the football players get all the attention at assemblies, in the hallways, and any other time they’re around? It’s pretty unfair if you ask me. First of all, women aren’t even allowed to play. Second of all, not all guys are capable of playing either, as they could have physical disabilities, or some other problem. Some people don’t even have the time for sport or reliable transportation. Some people don’t even like football. My third and final point is that other people deserve some attention, too. Now if you could please tell me your honest opinion on this, it’d be very helpful.
Thanks,
Philip Morris
No Good In Goodbye
The song “Where’s the Good in Goodbye” by The Script can be well connected to because if you have ever gone through a rough ending in a relationship then you can relate to how he is feeling.
The lyrics were quite relatable. I really like how he takes parts of words or phrases, such as “Where’s the nice in nice try?”, and in a way proves the statements wrong. It’s also very interesting when he says “Now I’m the low in lonely” and “ I can’t take the ache from heartbreak.”
The music is alright as well. It’s very smooth, as well as the fact that the transitions are obviously there but they go well within the song and don’t screw up the heartfelt way the song is sung and written as. Danny O’Donoghue’s voice fits the song well, though it would help if it were a more powerful voice.
As I’ve previously stated, the way he took parts of words or phrases and proved them wrong was a great idea. If he hadn’t done that, the song would be pretty boring, honestly. The song gets a bit bland after listening to it a few times in a row, though, It could use some more percussion.
This songs shows how some phrases are very untrue, even coined, in the way we use them. It uncovers the fact that there is no “good” in “goodbye.”
I would recommend this song to teenagers and young people. People who have gone through a rough breakup would definitely need to hear this song. I would not recommend this song to people who don’t like The Script and related bands such as Coldplay, because it reminds me of a song that Coldplay would do.
I would give this song a three out of five because though it is a good song and very relatable, it gets very boring after a few listens.
