First, I'd like to say that I'll be a little more strict on my part! Since you played the game that way, I'll just include the full lyrics too although I'm sure you don't require one! ;-) Lenka - Trouble Is A Friend Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh The eye of the storm or the cry in the morn, oh oh You're fine for a while but you start to lose control He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh I'd like to recommence my argument as to why my choice is ideal for this debate. Alright, first and foremost my song reaches out for EVERYONE unlike most of the mainstream music nowadays! Let's do a mini experiment! Close your eyes and think of a song! Now is it about love? I'm sure it is. People these days are bombarded with love-themed songs too much. Who needs that? Let's face it, we live in reality and we don't need to hear any more non-viable, fairy tales and romance. As stated in his round 2 argument, the song " Break free " does not limited to only endearment, fondness to a particular someone but also centralizes the theme homosexuality, health disease, individual morality etc etc ,to name a few. For this I'd like to use my opponent's own word that controverts his statement of the versatility of this song. Quoting; " "I only wanna die alive, never by the hands of a broken heart. Don't wanna hear you lie tonight, now that I've become who I really am."- This strictly deals with her relationship and that all she wanted was honesty after realizing who she was and that she was strong and powerful. But can't this mean something else? " As he wondered, could it be a reference other than romance affair? Of course, not. The song itself is a love song. Now you must agree that an "art" should be continuous and should not mix up with anything outside its theme's boundary especially music. I'm sure some readers would be at loss at what I'm saying, so now I'd like to provide a more conceivable proof. Now if a song is about a deep confession to a love interest, it would be ludicrous and preposterous if the singer include some nationalism or drugs in the song isn't it? It would have lost its consistency as a good piece of music. Therefore I'd like to counter my opponent's assertion, that his chosen song does in fact include other themes such as health (really??). An unambiguous and straight forward taken-from-the-lyrics-itself example would be this; "Oh my baby, ooh Thought of your body I came alive" Now what's your interpretation when you (my opponent and the viewers) first came across this part of this song? You grinned a little, didnt you? I don't need to clarify that, now do I? From the most "trustworthy" site, wikipedia ; Musically, the song explores EDM and electropop genres. An EDM song should always be fun, simple and plain and revolves around its musical quality; beat and background music and stuffs and therefore should not require listeners to actually think much of its lyrics. Should such lyrics be implying anything else, that is only your own interpretation. A quickie hear would suggest the more prominent meaning. Lastly, I'd like to argue with pro regarding his idea that be one " ....crippled, nice or mean, we are all beautiful and we all deserve happiness". I'm sorry but I don't think I'd label my bullies, mean girls from my high school "beautiful and deserve happiness". Yeah, probably they're good on the outside, but without those thick, make-ups on their pretentious face, they're the ugliest people of all and deserve life-changing moment of their life! Ergo, I'd like assert that NOT EVERYBODY IS BEAUTIFUL AND DESERVE HAPPINESS. Hey, let's face we're no child and we live in real world not in some virtual dimension where everybody is nice. To counter my opp's choice of songstress, I too am at loss ! I am a new fan of Ariana Grande!! XD True, she should serve as a good role model, but I think that youths nowadays should take people from the Hollywood industry as role models! There are far better and more eligible great people , who actually do things and lead others, out there, such as Mandel Nelson, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs , Sun Yat Seng, Gandhi, Alexander The Great, ! For me the mainstream songs should always be conjectured and taken as pure entertainment. If you want inspiration, you should always check out the old, retro or the non-mainstream indie music. I myself fancy Lana Del Rey and Hayley WIlliams a lot but I wouldn't classify them as "role-models". Some really do inspire you, I gotta admit that! I had goosebumps every time I listen to Try by P!nk and be in awe when the radio plays Same Love by Macklemore ( I can totally relate myself to it XD ). To end my round 2 argument I'd like to highlight that my ideal song isn't as localised as my opponent's! It also doesn't shove only romance matter//irreality to our face but covers a wider scope. Even my opponent himself admitted, my ideal song was initially his. So, I believe now that I am at advantage. I however am strict and sanguine at my choice of song and think that when it comes to which song is better, I am optimistic that Trouble is a Friend trumps Breakfree. Besides, as conceded by Pro, the song is full of grammatical errors. Lastly, it is to be reminded that my opponent has presented a lamentable justification. Thus, back to you Pro
