“American Love Song” describes the struggle of trying to find love while being independent. The song uses America and patriotism to symbolize the struggles with depending on others.
Trying to find love while being independent is challenging. However, choosing to give up some independence to form a deep connection with someone is even harder.
American culture has taught us that being independent is a good thing and that letting other people control our emotions is weak, leading Americans to avoid building meaningful relationships in fear of becoming too dependent.
This is a major theme in the song “American Love Song” by Infinity Song.
“American Love Song” describes the struggle between wanting to find love, while also being independent. The song criticizes the idea of American individualism and focuses on the importance of finding love and trust. An idea that is extremely important considering the new dating culture in America.
The repeating line “If I wasn’t so American I might love you more, but giving up my independence goes against my core.” The song uses America as a symbol of the need to be independent and the difficulty of depending on another person.
Additionally, the line “Love is a privilege, not a right, sometimes you just don’t get back twice” encourages listeners to stop avoiding love and community, and instead start becoming more vulnerable. “American Love Song” explains that it is easy for pride and a fear of intimacy to hide as ‘independent.’
I relate with the struggle of letting my guard down not just in relationships but in friendships as well. I really enjoy the whimsical style of music that Infinity Song produces.
