Pop

Herself freely admits to enjoying a fair amount of pop music. She understands why so many teens adore the plaintive, longing-filled music of young adult pop stars, as the songs also appeal to her inner angsty teen. She listens to Offspring the Third's stories about the trials and tribulations of high school romances, and she understands -- everything is so very heartfelt when one is young.  And sometimes, even when one is not so young.

Today's pop song: Distance, by Christina Perri.

Please don't stand so close to me
I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see right now
I give you everything I am
All my broken heart beats
Until I know you'll understand

We hope you enjoy.
