Life Goes On Lyrics Noah And The Whale

Okay, Hear Me Out: Noah and the Whale's "Life Goes On"

Let's talk about *that* song. You know the one. The "Life Goes On" by Noah and the Whale.

It's a bop, right? Catchy as anything. But I have a confession to make.

I think it's secretly...a bit depressing disguised as optimism.

The Sunny Melody vs. The Reality Check

The music is all sunshine and skipping through fields. Then you listen to the lyrics. Whoa.

It's basically saying, "Hey, bad things happen. But hey! Get over it." Harsh, much?

It's like getting dumped and your friend saying, "Loads more fish in the sea!" Thanks, I hadn't noticed.

It's not wrong, exactly. Life does go on. The sun keeps rising. Bills still need paying.

But sometimes, you just want to wallow for a bit. Isn't that allowed?

Is it "Toxic Positivity" in Musical Form?

I'm not saying Noah and the Whale were trying to be evil masterminds of emotional suppression.

But maybe, just maybe, the song nudges us towards ignoring our feelings.

We are told to slap a smile on and pretend everything's grand. Even when it very clearly isn’t.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good dose of positivity. But there's a line, right?

There is that line between, you know, surviving and *thriving*.

An Unpopular Opinion, Perhaps?

I know, I know. People adore this song.

It's uplifting! It's a reminder to keep going! I hear you.

But I can’t help but wonder if it simplifies complex emotions.

Sometimes you need to acknowledge the sadness, the anger, the heartbreak.

Pretending it’s not there doesn’t make it disappear.

It is like shoving your dirty laundry under the bed!

So, What's the Verdict?

Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe it's just a catchy tune about resilience.

But the next time you hear *“Life Goes On”* by Noah and the Whale, listen closely.

See if you hear that subtle undercurrent of... resignation? Or is it just me?

Perhaps the real takeaway is that it's okay to not be okay. And that it's perfectly normal to feel that way.

Even when a catchy song tells you otherwise. Okay, I am done now.
