What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

I think this is a good pick! This song, I feel, is about not being afraid to be who you are and not allowing anyone to hold you back from what you believe and stand for. This fits perfectly for book readers and writers, as a writer you have to be fearless and go through rejection again and again until you have success!!

Although the message is nice and the rhythm of the song is knick-knock off beat, I wish that the performer, Katy Perry, wrote the song. It always seems more authentic that way.

I like the song mostly some things could be different but other then that its fine. Every time I listen to this song either the beat or the lyrics get stuck inside my head.

This is my little boy's favorite song. At the end when there is a pause in the music and she goes "Roooaarrr, rrooooaaarrr, roooaaaarrrr!!" he starts dancing and singing like crazy! I love how kids feel with music :)

(Also, I'm not sure how to do the youtube thing right. Am I doing it right? Or wrong?

Good choice! It has been a while since I last listened to this song. I'm sure to be listening to it again later, as it is now stuck in my head! ☺

I would totally agree with you. Sometimes people think that writing or reading isn't profitable. They see no scope in this field but there are a lot of opportunities in this area and this song fits perfectly about how we should be confident of ourselves.
