The Blog of Mr. Buckner

Do you ever come across something that at first glance may seem like a total waste of time? Something that would ruin your brain capacity and turn into that of a zombie making you want to eat brains? Well every now and again I come across things that are so bad that it is actually good. You know like straight to DVD horror movies, a poorly executed short film, and music from Miley Cyrus.

Now first before I begin I would just like you to enjoy a little piece of youtube goodness of one of her single’s, “See You Again.” This is her live performance from American Idol Gives Back.

Isn’t that just horribly awesome? Those lyrics coming from a 15 year old. Everytime I hear I can’t help but have a hearty laugh. Who writes this for her? Her dad? Let’s dissect this a bit.

I got my sights set on you and I’m ready to aim
I have a heart that will never be tamed
I knew you were something special
When you spoke my name
Now I can’t wait to see you again

Really? It’s like a song full of cliched similes to start off. Then you got her stating her heart will never be tamed. EEEEEEEVER!!! You know what that means? She’s admitting to being a whore in her own song. And who thinks someone is special when you speak their name? A naive 15-year old that’s who. Just awesome, let’s continue…

I’ve got a way of knowing when something is right
I feel like I must have known you in another life
Cause I felt this deep connection when you looked in my eyes
Now I can’t wait to see you again

This is a bit better then the opening but once again, cliched simile. I think I’ve heard the “must have known you in another life” spiel about 80 times. Same goes for the deep connection and the eyes. When I look into someone’s eye(s) I usually see them looking right back at mine. Unless they are cracked out on the drugs. Now, I can’t wait to see this chorus.

[Chorus:]
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I’m thinking about
Felt like I couldn’t breath
You asked what’s wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said “Oh she’s just being Miley”
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart can’t rest till then
Woah woah I
I can’t wait to see you again

GREATNESS!!! She’s looking down because she is shy. Do you get it? OMG I SOOO DO!!! Then she starts stuttering. But guess what Leslie says, “She’s just being Miley.” Total hilarity of the highest echelon. I’m probably being a little harsh on this because if she actually did right this song then I understand it as such and will dismiss it but there is a 70/30 chance that some dude in his 30s wrote this horrid rubbish or maybe one of her BFFs that are seven years older than her. Who knows but lets move on.

I got this crazy feeling, deep inside
When you called and asked to see me tomorrow night
I’m not a mind reader but I’m reading the signs
That you can’t wait to see me again

After this it goes onto the chorus again and ends the songs. But looking at this I can see that this is entirely horrible. Of course when someone calls to see you they can’t wait to see you…again. Oh man, pure brilliance.

All in all, the song fits her perfectly but it’s so bad to me that I will listen to it just for the sake of that it is so bad it’s good. I know she’s blowing up but I want aleast some sort of quality from it even if I only hear it on the radio every now and again. This isn’t my cup of tea, but it sure did make me laugh.
