10. Man on the Moon
- Britney Spears
Woo-hoo we’ve arrived at my top 10, where only verified QUALITY songs by TALENTED artists are allowed to be. And speaking of talent and powerhouse singers, who better to start off my top 10 with than by renowned vocalist Britney Spears? “Man on the Moon” is a song that after listening to approx. 0.3 seconds of it, I was ready to declare it my favourite song and knew it’d be one of Glory’s best. And I wasn’t wrong! Even the opening line had me by my edges, “Dark mascara dripping down my face, only fools could ever feel this way.” Like what kind of visual language feast? Obliterate me and send me to space! On a slightly more serious note – it’s got a very relatable message, and I totally feel it in the same way I FELT “Alien.” (living overseas at the time)
I too feel like love is just this foreign, distant thing that I’ll never experience and no matter how many people I date, it’s like there’s always a thick plastic layer surrounding me that no one will ever be able to break through. And “Man on the Moon” is what it’s all about – the person you love, and the feelings you want to feel, are just a galaxy away. :’(
