Significant Song

Music is my life. Period. I have numerous playlists with tons of songs from pop to country to R&B to classical and the list goes on and on. So when I was trying to find a song that is the most significant to me, I drew a complete blank. So I got onto my playlist, hit shuffle, and when the song came on I knew that it was the one. The Goo Goo Dolls' song, Iris is the best song to describe me. It's the one song I crank up when it comes on the radio because I connect to it so much. The purpose of the song was to entertain. Iris was written for the City of Angels soundtrack in 1998. The song's audience was the moviegoers but eventually reached out to everyone in the world. The musical genre is rock. You have already read some of my feelings about the song. Iris best describes me through the lyrics And I don't want the world to see me/Cause I don't think that they'd understand/When everything's made to be broken/I just want you to know who I am. The song is about someone who doesn't like to open up easily because they feel that if they let those walls come down everyone will think they are a freak. The lyrics I just want you to know who I am mean that this individual wants to be known, but doesn't know how to let those walls come down.
