"Smile" by Uncle Kracker

"You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right
Completely unawareNothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Y make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile




"Smile" by Uncle Kracker is a super cute song. I mean, look at the lyrics, it's really cute! I totally picture a black and white video and when it goes to the chorus everything goes into color. It's be a really good song for one of those allergy commercials...what's that product called? Claretin Clear? Or something like that. It'd be a good song for that thing. :] It's also a cute song for a crush or something.

But I have to nit-pick this song. I love the lines of the chorus such as: "you make me smile like the sun...dizzy in the head...dance like a fool...you make me smile." That's really nice, I think. It's such an energizing thought, and it makes me smile because I'm smiling as I think about how someone makes me smile. This song is just one big smile.

But at the same time, I don't like lyrics like this: "You're better then the best I'm lucky just to linger in your light". I mean, they're creative lyrics, and I'm sure that it must be nice to know that someone does this to someone, but, at the same time. These lines should be all about God! It's funny to think that they aren't. Even my favorite lines should be about God. It's weird to think that he's not thinking about God. It's almost...blasphemy...ish. O.o To compare someone's light to God's. God gave that person the light that makes you smile. O_o

This is a cute love song, no doubt, but it's weird, what if the "you" breaks up with the "me", in the song? Will the "I" still be smiling? Nope! Does God break up with people? Nope!

See? This song should really be about God. Really, it should. :] God should be the reason we're "buzzing like a be" or "dancing like a fool" and He should be the reason for the smile. :]

Which brings me to another thought...How can someone not be completely in love with God? How can a love for another human being become one's god? I mean...neh. I don't want to get into it. I won't be able to reach a conclusion because I'll just be giving my questions more questions as answers soooo...I'd be going in this giant circle. >.<

So what did we learn today? This song isn't about God, but it's still super cute. It's great to think that someone does this to us, but so long as we remember that God is above all of this and He should be the real reason for the smiles, it's okay. :] "you makes me spin like a record and dance like a fool...you make me smile" <33

Yes, I totally procrastinated on homework. Uggh..I'll go do it. >__<
