The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Artist- Tiffany
Song of the day- I think we're alone now

Judge all you want, but I still think this song stands the test of time and I prefer this version over the original, it's the 80s child in me. I think mall singing is a lost art and I couldn't be more thrilled to travel back in time for this concert on Saturday. It encapsulates an innocent time when pop music was less about being a slave to someone or making 15 year olds as slutty as possible to sell records and more about sweater dresses and how big your bangs can be. And if you're curious my sister will always win in the bangs competition. But it does everything a good pop song should, makes you wanna move, makes you wanna sing along, and taps into overt emotions. So if you are running just as fast as you can, holding on to one another's hand, or really just want to put on a sweater dress and dance as unattractively as possible, this one's for you.



"Children, behave!"
That's what they say when we're together.
"And watch how you play!"
They don't understand.
And so we're running just as fast as we can,
Holding on to one another's hands.
Trying to get away into the night,
And then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground,
And then you say, "I think we're alone now.
There doesn't seem to be anyone around.
I think we're alone now.
The beating of our hearts is the only sound."
Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing.
Cause what would they say
If they ever knew?
And so we're running just as fast as we can,
Holding on to one another's hands.
Trying to get away into the night,
And then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground,
And then you say, "I think we're alone now.
There doesn't seem to be anyone around.
I think we're alone now.
The beating of our hearts is the only sound."
