Today I just have a very short review because I really want you to hurry up and love this song!!
Track Review
Track- Little Toy Guns
Artist- Carrie Underwood
Album- Greatest Hits: Decade #1
Carrie Underwood has become a household name in the ten years since her stint on American Idol. I believe it's because of songs like Little Toy Guns. She has a decidedly country-rock feel which appeals to all ages and her song content isn't stuff and nonsense like so much music is now. She sings about new love and marriage, but she also tackles social issues like abuse and dysfunctional families, with her latest single falling into the latter category. Little Toy Guns documents the fear and confusion of a little girl whose parents seem to be fighting more and more lately and she doesn't know why. She's "holding onto that heart-shaped locket, staring at a family flawless," and trying to figure out why Mommy and Daddy are yelling at each other. She wishes that "words were like little toy guns..... just a bang, bang rolling off your tongue." This song is heartbreaking when you really consider the innocent little girl whose previously happy childhood is being marred by her parents' fighting. And what's even sadder is when you realize that so many children are experiencing this confusion and losing their innocence. Carrie Underwood really stresses that we need to consider the implications of our words and be sensitive and edify each other with our words. That is why I encourage you to listen to Little Toy Guns.
Much love,
Callan
