[Cicero]

In the spirit of the holidays:



Now this song sounds really nice and sensitive. But the main chorus line, "I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can" bothers me.

First of all, you don't care about my method of transport and all the surrounding circumstances, but then you say, just get here (sounds resolved and good right?), and then qualify it with something flippant like: if you can...

The song sounds dramatic and full of longing. But I can't handle the apparent lack of care, and then the disclaimer after such a demand.


If you took the lyrics out of the dramatic appeal of the song, wouldn't that sound like someone who really doesn't give a flying flip if you are there or not?

I don't care how you get here, just do it if you can, mmm'kay?
