Proposal Day

Did you know that today is 'Proposal Day'? I love our country for many reasons, but one of the best ones is that we just make up random holidays for all the days of the year so they don't feel inferior or jealous of the big ones like December 25th or July 4th. So, proposal day. For all of the gentleman who couldn't get their acts or perhaps even bank accounts together for Valentines Day. That's not lame at all fellas. March 20th is just as sexy as February 14th. Regardless, it is what it is. So I would like to take this splendid occasion to talk about proposal songs. There happen to be two songs on the Billboard Charts right now that have to do with this very subject.


First up is Colbie Caillat's I do. This song is currently at number 21 on the Adult Pop Songs Chart. She has a wonderful gift of making easy to listen to beach music. Her songs are thoughtful without taking themselves too seriously. There is just an ease about her. This song is very catchy and I think it is something that some woman can relate to, but maybe even more men. Although not a song that you would right away relate to a big masculine dude, the lyrics are pretty fitting if you think about it.


The second song is Train's Marry Me, which is at number 44 on the Hot 100 Chart. I both like and dislike this song. I think it is clever that he is singing it to a waitress at a cafe, but it also bugs me because they took a perfectly good wedding song and ruined it. You can't play this at your wedding because you have indeed met and are getting married, it isn't a fantasy anymore. Train has the ability to write a song that would make even the hardest of steel melt though. Even when they are talking nonsense. For example, what the hell are drops of Jupiter?
