As Long As You Love Me

Whilst working today, I was driving down to Sandy for an errand and a song came on the radio. (I know, crazy. I was listening to the radio!) At first, it just sounded like your average radio song. But then I heard some of the snare beats and I thought to myself (no joke), This has got to be a boy band. The only two boy bands that I know of though are 1) The Backstreet Boys and 2) One Direction. Both girl magnets, for their own respective eras, of course.

But anyway, back to the song, I later found out the name of the song after it ended and that it was by the Backstreet Boys (oh snap, I am good!). It was called "As long as you love me." I didn't really pay much attention to the verses though as much as I did to the chorus. And as I listened, I think I had a little mini revelation. I know it sounds weird, seeing as I was listening to the Backstreet Boys, but if you were to hear the chorus of the song, you might understand what I am talking about.

Anyway, the reason I say it was a mini revelation was because it came as more of a thought. An idea that just formed in my mind as I payed attention to the lyrics of the chorus. Of course, the song was talking about girls (because that's all boy bands ever sing about), but in my mind for whatever reason, I took the meaning differently. I took it as though Heavenly Father were saying these words to us as his children. Here's the chorus:

I don't care who you are

Where you're from

What you did

As long as you love me

Who you are

Where you're from

Don't care what you did

As long as you love me

I know that Heavenly Father is like that. He doesn't care what we've done, he doesn't care where we're from. Who we are are his children. And he will always forgive us if we love him and desire to return to his presence.

So anyway, I just thought that I should share that little mini thought I had today whilst driving to Sandy. Enjoy your day!

P.S. If you go and listen to the song, you'll find that the verses definitely sound like the boy band singing to a girl. That's why I only used the chorus. It's because the chorus is the only thing that stuck out to me. The rest just sounds like mainstream pop-garbage. :)
