The Top 5 Most Ridiculous Love Songs On Your Playlist



There used to be a time when we lay sprawled like a dismantled jig saw puzzle on our beds, listening to Inconsolable by Backstreet Boys and painting the bloody entrails of a broken teenage relationship on our white ceiling. Back in those days there were the love songs and there were the break up songs. These days, as the world spirals further into a nebulous nothingness, love songs are only break up songs in disguise. A number of them still grasp the patience, kindness, peace, gentleness (a la Timberlakes "Mirrors") but most seem to have forgotten that loves a good thing, that is great, beautiful and pure. Of such, here are are the most ridiculous .



5. Beyonce- Poison
Halo was good, Broken Hearted Girl was fair, this,  well,  let the lyrics speak for themselves.


I suppose there are less romantic ways to commit suicide, but you know what's better than dying, living to love some more,  and again and again.


4. Bruno Mars- Grenade
I bet you can't guess why this one was off, take a look at this excerpt.


You See Mr. Mars seems to believe like we always want to do, that loves all about what we can get in return, but it is exactly the opposite. Unrequited love believe it or not is love at its rawest. Of course the song goes on to mention how the woman beat him black and blue and just because we should love unconditionally doesn't mean we should endure abuse. Get out of there if it's bad for you, but love isn't all about being loved in return.

3. Veronika Boseman- What is love
Such a sweet title, almost all of the song is a series of philosophical rhetorical questions like

If it's only love when a person stays, then how do you explain leaving for the other persons own good?  You see a couple thousand years ago there was this Guy who understood He had to go die, and His lovers weren't really sure about that, but He came back, then He left again for their own good. What is love if there's no guarantee? Faithful believing.

2. Sam Smith- Stay With Me
This dude though, lovely voice, impeccable songwriter and novice in matters of the heart and it's sad really, just sad.


If it isn't love, and it's plain to see, then pull your thumb out of your mouth and let it go. Nobody sent you on the one night stand errand in the first place buddy.



1. Ed Sheeran- Shape of you
We've all been here,  staying there though is a box shaped problem.


Rule of thumb is loving the shape of her or him should always only be supplementary affection. "Although my heart is falling too.. " come on, everybody knows that when your eyes are sold your heart will start to buy it too and lust will sucker-punch that love out!



Now no one is saying that these songs don't have artistic merit, we just don't want you getting the wrong idea about what love is. Share your take on the matter in the comments section, we'd love to hear all about it.

Tasha Cobbs Feat. Nicki Minaj: Are Xtians Overreacting?

Image
 When 'Break Every Chain' singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard announced that she would be releasing her new album and that it will feature secular artist Nicki Minaj a lot of holy eyebrows were raised.  Now after the songs release many are sceptical, some outright offended, and a handful even have conspiracy theories (Behold The Illuminati is Everywhere!) The song itself titled 'I'm Getting Ready' is more of the usual fare, the "No Frauds" rappers feature though has made it something of an anomaly. But let's not get into the fact that Fred Hammond featured Snoop Dogg, Lecrae featured Ty Dollar Sign and on and on (so it's no surprise really, these Christian /Secular features.) Let's talk about how insecure Christians make themselves look when they communicate the fear that the secular will taint or overwhelm the gospel. Why can't it be the other way around? In the Old Testament God forbade the Israelites from living among and co-existing...

NF Releases New Track 'Green Lights'

Image
"Three records,  three years I don't like to waste time. " the impassioned rapper spits on his new track "Green Lights." Indeed it's only been two weeks since Nate released the song "Outro" also presumably off his forthcoming album. Whilst "Outro" followed in the style of "Intro 2" and "Intro" before it,  chronicling where NF is at in his life at a given time. "Green Lights" is a song about confidence,  feeling as though there is nothing that stands in one's way. The track is certainly catchy and is classic NF. However with "Motivated" and "Statement" already under his belt and dealing with almost the same subject matter, this might prove to be three songs in three years-three much. Check out the video here  NF-Green Lights (Video)

Joel Osteen Under Fire For Allegedly Refusing to Help Hurricane Victims (Reaction)

Image
Hurricane Harvey which swept through the Houston area of America and took lives and displaced families has also placed Lakewood Church head pastor Joel Osteen at the center of a social media crisis. The 54 year old Preacher with the 'perpetual smile' came under fire when he refused to admit displaced persons into his facility which houses 54, 000 persons a week for services. Claims of being unable to do so due to flooding and counter claims of deception began to float through the social mediascape causing the author of Your Best Life Now   to trend on twitter and not in a good way. Even though the  latest reports  say the Church may finally be opening it's doors,  twitter is still not pleased. As one detractor states below It is fascinating to watch how the world (Christians included) pounces on a public figure after he makes a real (or imagined) mistake. The twitter mob was up early today ready to burn the Preacher at the stake,  citing him as a fraud...

Christian Leaders on The White Supremacists March

Image
Photo by Steve Helber/ AP The United States of America has had a rough couple of days. Things she would rather not think about and all together deny marched through the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday the 12th of August. White supremacist are as the name suggest those who believe in the superiority of the Caucasian over other races. It's political implications are that since White is better, White should rule a la slave trade and black subjugation. In recent history the movement was considered dead or ailing, until it marched hundreds of men strong chanting 'Unite the right.' Being the light of the world, some Christian leaders have spoken out against this uprising, whilst some have (surprisingly?) kept mum. Senior Pastor of The Potters House TD Jake's appears not to be living in the same America where this incident took place. He is yet to publicly comment on the issue, but it is expected that when pressed for his opinion it would certainly ...

Christian Rapper Lecrae Set to Perform Alongside Big Sean and 2Chains

Image
They rappin in a bubble can't nobody see they face' rapped Lecrae in 2015 on former label mate KB's single 'Sideways'. Now two years later its safe to say that the rappers bubble has gone pop as the 'Christian who raps' is set to perform alongside mainstream artistes like Big Sean, 2Chains, Steve Aoki and Gucci Mane at this year's Ubahn festival. The event which is set to take place in a tunnel underground and feature live artwork installations, skateboarding demonstrations, vendors and other interactive delights, is scheduled for September 8 and 9, not long before Lecraes #ATWT tour kicks off. The event is no doubt a landmark for the artiste who has long since shown his desire to break out of the restrictive label of being a 'Christian rapper'. While this will certainly raise a number of eyebrows among die hard Christian fans of his, it is undeniable that Lecras is taking the message where it is most needed. After all, no one lights a ca...
