I love sad songs. One of my favorite bands has a song called "Dating a Porn Star." It is a crushingly beautiful song. It's sung from the boyfriend's perspective. It talks about the tragedy of how young women today have little to no respect for themselves, and they give themselves away so easily, too easily. Here's my favorite verse:

The strip club crowd looks like a sad constellation
But I hold your heart like the sky holds the moon
I'm cast down outside 'cause they don't allow boyfriends
Star won't you tell me you're coming home soon

It's a total parallel to Hosea, which is what I've been going over lately. And consequently, a parallel to how God loves us. Even if people take advantage of us and cheapen us to worthlessness, and even if we begin to believe that we are nothing more than just pawns in a chess game, God holds our hearts like the sky holds the moon. And He loves us so tenderly and waits for us to come back to Him.

Oh, the song is by The Weepies. Check it out, yo.
