Flames - David Guetta feat. Sia

One foot in front of the other
One breath leads to another
Just keep moving
Look within for the strength today
Listen out for the voice to say
Just keep moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out
But don't stop moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out
You can do this

So my love
Keep on running
You gotta get through today
There my love
Keep on running
Gotta keep those tears at bay
Oh, my love
Don’t stop burning
Gonna send them up in flames
In flames

Don't stop
Tomorrow’s another day
Don't stop
Tomorrow you'll feel no pain
Just keep moving
Don't stop the past'll trip you up
You know, right now's gotta be enough
Just keep moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out
But don't stop moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out
You can do this...

Om ironi og sarkasme

Da jeg var yngre, brugte jeg meget ironi og sarkasme, men det stoppede jeg med, da det gik op for mig, at ironi ikke kun er sjovt - men også har et negativt perspektiv. Ironi kan også blive problematisk at bruge i forhold til kommunikation, hvis man ikke deler den samme fælles forståelse, for så kan der hurtigt opstå misforståelser og dermed kan der blive sat spørgsmålstegn ved intentionen med det sagte. I dag bruger jeg kun sjældent ironi - selvom jeg stadig er den første til at grine af andres ironi - men aldrig af deres sarkasme. Sarkasme stammer fra ordene satire og ironi og har ofte (modsat ironi) til hensigt at såre eller ydmyge andre mennesker. Personligt syntes jeg ikke, at der er noget humoristisk ved at få andre mennesker til at få det dårligt. Tværtimod så gør det også mig ked af det. Ironi består for det meste af en så kraftig over- eller underdrivelse af virkeligheden, at man inddirekte sætter spørgsmålstegn ved sandheden af det, som man netop har sagt. En anden udbredt form for ironi kender man fra den græske filosof Sokrates, der var kendt for at få sine modstandere til at underminere deres egne argumenter og afslører deres egen argumentations svage steder - ved at stille nogle helt ”uskyldige” spørgsmål. Denne underfundige form for spørgeteknik kaldes også for jordemoderteknikken, da man hjælper den anden ud af sin forfejlede opfattelse af verden og hjælper vedkommende med at “barsle” den rigtige forståelse. Her har ironien altså det formål at hjælpe den anden person tættere på sandheden. En tredje form for ironi er skæbnes ironi, hvor diverse omstændigheder bekræfter ens værste anelser eller hvor det utænkelige sker trods alle odds. Det findes der masser af gode eksempler på i Alanis Morisettes store hit Ironic, som f.eks. “He won the lottery and died the next day” og ”It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife”.

I Feel It Coming - The Weekend feat Daft Punk

Tell me what you really like
Baby I can take my time
We don't ever have to fight
Just take it step-by-step
I can see it in your eyes
'Cause they never tell me lies
I can feel that body shake
And the heat between your legs

You've been scared of love and what it did to you
You don't have to run, I know what you've been through
Just a simple touch and it can set you free
We don't have to rush when you're alone with me

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

You are not the single type
So baby, this the perfect time
I'm just trying to get you high
And faded off this touch
You don't need a lonely night
So baby, I can make it right
You just got to let me try
To give you what you want

You've been scared of love and what it did to you
You don't have to run, I know what you've been through
Just a simple touch and it can set you free
We don't have to rush when you're alone with me

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe...
