The song has some truth!

Unlike a lot of songs nowadays where all the artistes are singing about is sex and the general physicality's of being in a relationship (or in most cases an open relationship), it's refreshing to hear artistes who actually take time to sing about the natural feelings of love and what being in a relationship actually means.

When i first heard Danity Kanes' 'Ride for you', i loved it. This is 5 member girl group, compiled by P Diddy, they sing, dance and have personality. This song of theirs basically speaks about being there for someone and staying with them throughout the good and bad seasons (this is depicted by seasons of the year in their video). I just thought that this was different because there's a line in the last part of the song which state 'oh, don't tell me that we've gotta let it go, we've been on top for too long just to let it go under....i don't want to start off with another..' and i personally feel this is quite deep. instead of moving on and going onto the next relationship, it's makes you think 'hang on this takes work, it's not going to work out by itself' and encourages both people in that relationship to work at it.
I think the main reason I like this song is because it denotes commitment which is not a popular word in our society today. Obviously be wise in relationships and don't let songs or rash feelings make decisions for you, think things through, but what i admire is that the song is encouraging people to stick through things, it's a reality, it's not going to be peachy all the time, maybe in the beginning but not always.
