Every Big Time Rush fan knows that they like to take things literally (see: Any Kind Of Guy video). Remember how I said to remember that they put their arms around each other on the album cover? Well. 'Cause the world stops / When I put my arms around ya / Around ya, oh / And nothing even matters / And nothing even matters I was originally convinced that this song was about them as a band, but then they started saying things that you would say to a lover, not a bandmate, so now I'm convinced it's about them as boyfriends. I think I might have to just go over the lyrics, one by one. And I love how James sings about how they finally made it together, as a band, even though everyone told them they wouldn't. I love every time they say "rush" in one of their songs ("feel the rush, now hit the lights"). To avoid talking about all the boyfriendlyness of the music video more than the actual song, I'm not going to say much. This song is definitely about wanting to be a girl's boyfriend.Īnd I know I shouldn't, but I <3 the Twilight reference. Even though they made me work really hard to find that one "girl". Even though they only actually say the word girl once***, in the bridge, to make sure you know that this song is to girls. Which is obviously why I was mistaken when I heard the first line and thought Kendall said "drunk", not "drawn".īut no, they're singing to girls. Or, "My name is James and I love my boyfriend Carlos."īut this is Nickelodeon. "Dear Logan, I want to be your boyfriend, Love Kendall" maybe. My first thought when I saw this song title was not, "hey girl, I want to be your boyfriend." So far, TIFAY hasn't failed to make me happy when I'm in a crappy mood.
Or bounce in my seat, if I'm sitting down. This song really could convince some people that, "hey, we're just platonic friends that like singing and dancing and going out partying with our boyfriends when girls break up with us until we forget about them." I can't NOT jump to this song when I hear it. And James is kinda leaning on Logan (remember this, too).
Honestly, they all look like that, except for maybe James who always looks like he's always pretty prepared. Also, Logan looks like he was in the middle of saying something to Kendall and the photographer was all, "hey guys, look at the camera really quick!" and he turned to say cheese. Then you flip to the back of the booklet, and you see them acting even more boyfriendly Carlos with his arm around Kendall's shoulders, and James resting his arm on Logan's shoulder, and I just. Then there's the picture in the middle of the booklet, where Logan is staring at Kendall** , Carlos and James are walking close enough that for a second I actually thought they were holding hands, and Kendall is looking at them all like they're the greatest things he's ever seen. They have their arms around each other on the album cover, you guys (remember this fact, for we will come back to it). Which is probably bad, like I'm stealing an author's "voice" or something.) I do that when I write after recently reading a book, too. The thing is, when I join communities on LJ, I tend to start, IDK, talking like them. (And I feel like I should warn you, that if you're reading this and you're a part of bigtimerush, I might sound like you. And also what I think of the other songs. *Refocuses again* Some of these songs just have me convinced that they're all boyfriends, and this is basically my rant review of that. What this means, basically, is that I can't watch The Most Epic And Sparkly of Epic And Sparkly Shows Ever without thinking that when James asks Logan if he wants to "even the score," he means he wants to kiss him, or that there has to be an interesting explanation for how Carlos's tooth got in Kendall's mouth*.īasically, Big Time Rush both ruined my life and made it 1000000x better.Īhem. *Refocuses* So somewhere along the line, I found these things called “slash goggles,” and now they’re glued permanently to my face. I’m not going to go into a long discussion about my slash history. Really, it was McFly that got me all this. I used to be this normal person, that didn’t know what “slash” meant.
