I'm more than just an option...

Hey readers!
What a crazy week it's been! Between turning 21 and homecoming, I've had about all the celebrating I can take. My closest friends and I took a trip to enjoy the smooth sugary (expensive) drinks at Applebees for the big day, then ventured back to good old BC for some duckhunting. As for homecoming, the events didn't go as they should have unfortunately. Thanks to the eagle eyes of some suspicious students, a scam was discovered the night before the end of the duckhunting competition. Unfortunately, this information wasn't spread to those in charge, and nothing was done. In spite of all that, I'm happy to report that I walked in my first homecoming parade ever, and it was awesome! All in all, it was a memorable homecoming, even if I can only remember half of it.

Enough about me, time fore a song!
Find Your Love, Drake

Oh man. This is a good one, not so much the song, but the artist. Does anyone remember when rapper Drake was the hot and musically talented Jimmy Brooks, the crazy Ashley's boyfriend on Degrassi? Not gonna lie, I for sure had a crush on him for a while there.
I'm not even going to pretend to know what this song means, except maybe that he's lost somebodies lovin' and he really, really, really wants to find it. Just kidding.
For real though, after his big role on Degrassi, Aubrey Drake Graham signed a record deal in 2009 with Young Money Entertainment, ran by Weezy himself.  His first album was released in June of 2010, Thank Me Later, and his new found talent proved to be a success as this album was ranked number one on the Billboard Top 200. The great thing about Drake, not to be confused with a male duck, is that he raps and sings, and is surprisingly good at both. Some people joke and say he needs to chose a skill and stick with it, I however find it refreshing that I'm actually listening to someone talented. (As opposed to an immature teen squeaking about how she doesn't know which seat to take, when state laws clearly say children under 14 must reside in the back seat). By the way, it's Wednesday.
The song starts out with a loud, bumping techno beat, with bass that seems maxed out. Bongos come to mind, even though you are positive that is not what the sound is. It's quick, and yet the background sounds slow the song down, settling you into the first verse nicely.

         "I'm more than just an option, hey, hey, hey
          Refuse to be forgotten, hey, hey, hey
          I took a chance with my heart, hey, hey, hey
          And I feel it takin' over"

I love the first line, and that's about it. Just kidding, the song is ridiculously repetitive, however, I will try to be as open minded as possible, hey, hey, hey. Anyways, about that first line. The use of it could go horribly. Don a squeaky voice you may hear a nerd use: "I'm more than just an option? Hey, hey, hey!"
No.
Drake just lays it all out there, no questions asked. "I'M more than just an option." Makes you wanna shrink back and shake your head incessantly. "Refuse to be forgotten." Period at the end signifies no question about it, you WILL remember me for the rest of your life, (the word "creep" comes to mind). The last two lines is where Drake turns into a pansy, you just don't admit stuff like that man.
First of all, everything involving your heart is a chance, a risk. Also, that awesome thing we have called a heart, is selfish, stubborn, and really freaking greedy. When it decides it wants something, of course it's going to take over. Thank-you Dr. Drake for schooling me in stuff I already knew.
On to my favorite part of the song, the chorus. (NOT)

         "I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
          I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
          I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
          I bet if I give all my lovin', nothin's gonna tear us apart"

Why did I even bothering typing in the two middle lines? Talk about a waste of finger-ly effort. I wish there was more I could say about this chorus, but well, Drake says it all. Four freaking times. What happened to lyrical creativity? Drake is normally pretty good in that aspect but man, that shot to the spine must have really messed up his creative side (not being rude here, Degrassi reference). Anyways, all you need to know is that he better find your lovin' and your heart, or else... I'm not sure what he'll do, however after the lack of  imagination in these lyrics I'd be afraid to find out.

         "I'm than just a number, hey, hey, hey
          I doubt you'll find another, hey, hey, hey
          So every single summer, hey, hey, hey
          I be the one that you remember"

He really wants you to remember him, hey hey hey. Please tell me what's with the hey's? The beat of the song isn't lacking in any way, so why not just leave the spot blank, instead of repeating something unnecessary other than the chorus? And Drake, I know I won't find another man who starts a band with the incredibly hot but always unavailable Craig, gets shot and ends up in a wheelchair, befriended the person who shot him, and someone who changes girlfriends more than I change nail polish (a lot). Holy run on sentence batman, but you get my point. I feel as though Dr. Drake should skip acting, singing, and rapping all together and just go be a college professor for people who love being told things they were already 100% sure of.

With that being said, I'd like to conclude on this:
Man was I harsh. Anyways:
The word "hey" appears 27 times in this song.
The phrases: "I better find your lovin', I better find your heart," appear 11 times each.

Thank-you I now have a headache.

Till next week, keep jammin'.
