Hey everyone,
For today's blog post I will be reviewing two songs by Megan Moroney called '28th of June' and 'Indifferent'. For the first track, the lyrics are quite emotional and it sounds like she has just gone through a breakup with someone, as she explains that the 28th of June is a date that they would usually celebrate. She starts the song by singing about some good memories she has, including where she says 'here's to forever you have my heart, danced around the room holding onto eachother' and then she analyses the situation and comes to the realisation that maybe she wasn't in love as she describes the distance brought between her and her lover. She says 'I was too naive to know' which suggests that maybe she wasn't thinking about the situation properly and believed what she was being told. She adds the lyrics 'just cause something's good, don't mean it lasts' which is where she realised that the relationship may have started well and then unfortunately she started to notice changes.
She sings the line 'by fall we fell apart, time kept ticking and you moved on' which shows that time is passing quite quickly and although they have both gone their separate ways, she is still able to think about this love interest. She adds 'another 365 have come and gone' almost saying that a year passas really quickly, and she know that it's another year without any contact from this lover. Megan questions the lover by saying 'are you really already happy?' adding the lines 'that she loves you like I do, say I still cross your mind and it's eating you alive' which all is suggesting that maybe there is some jealousy that Megan's lover has moved on with another person, or she's just curious if they were ever properly in love with her as they seemed to have moved on very quickly. The overall song sounded quite country and she has really nice vocals throughout the entire song.
Towards the end of the song, she says that one day she will 'wake up and I'll be ok, but the rain outside says it won't be today' which hints at the fact that she wants to be positive about the situation but at the same time, she will know when the time is right for her to almost go back to normal and try to continue her own life.
The 2nd song is called 'Indifferent'
In this song I think the theme of the song is similar to the first, where she is explaining a situation that she used to be in with a guy, but this is more of a sarcastic and sassy type of song. She said that she used to 'lose her patience and check locations' suggesting that she maybe got paranoid about her lover going out anywhere without being spoken to by other people. She also says 'I would cry 1, 2, 3, too many time... just wasting my time on a guy wh was more wrong than right' which allows her to reflect her time on the situation and that there are better guys out there. This part of the song sounded like a rock song with instruments including guitar and drums in the background. Megan continues to sing the line 'don't need your attention or your time, I think I would wish you the best, but the truth is I couldn't care less' which is quite a savage line, but almost suggests that she has now realised her worth and doesn't need to be brought down by somebody else not respecting her or her choices.
She also explains that the month of June has come and gone, and asked rhetorically 'did I miss your birthday again' adding that the thought of this person 'don't make my heart skip a beat'. She does an almost 360 degree as she explains here that 'I like not wondering where you are tonight, it feels so nice finally being on the other side' which is almost like a way for her to express that she doesn't need to be the guardian figure anymore and she can worry about more important things and people, rather than having to worry about someone's personal schedule. She also says at the end of the song 'when you mama calls, I'm reminded that you exist' which is also a way for her to try and squash the drama, through a neutral medium, and if that doesn't work out for her, she has to continue with her life and realise that people will walk in her life, and the right person will find her when her time is ready!
Thanks for reading this blog post! Until next time... Goodbye!
