When I first heard this song, "Pumped up Kicks," by Foster the People, I loved its catchy tune
and great beat. Then I actually listened to the lyrics
and realized that it's a sad commentary on
society. Knowing what this song is about has ruined
my happy, dancing mood. When this song plays on the radio, I can't imagine the pain it must bring to those personally touched by school shootings. A song with this topic should not be so fun and bouncy. Do I still love this song? Maybe, but not as much as I used to.
