My Favourite Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics

Listen, some things are unexplainable in the way that they make everything good and right. Those things for me are the rain and Carly Rae Jepsen (and maybe listening to Carly Rae Jepsen in the rain). So many of her lyrics and themes and synths just feel like they are the scaffolding around my heart. So I'm gonna list some of my favourite lines from her songs. Have I ever had a better blog post idea? No.


Anyway, here they are. I love them all.

1.
You pulled a gem out of the mess
- Higher

Wow, love this cute imagery about how good things can sometimes be found wrapped up in bad things. Very nice, very cool. Honestly I just love to think about gems and orbs. And Carly Rae holding many gems and orbs. That's the image I think about when I go to bed. My fantasy.

2.
Show me if you want me, if I'm all that
I will be there, I will be your friend

- All That

The Blood Orange production drips off this and it is like the most welcoming log cabin fire ever. I love this chorus line for its gentle, swaying, soaring feel like floating down a waterfall, but also just because "I will be there" is so comforting in its simplicity. Thanks for being my friend, Carly, in this song specifically.

3.
Eyes that show kaleidoscopes
- Favourite Colour

I love the twinkly, magical feeling of this song, and this line reflects that perfectly. Carly Rae Jepsen is twirling the kaleidoscope endlessly and we are all her humble and enchanted viewers.

4.
You say love's a fragile thing
Made of glass
But I think
Your heart is a muscle

- Your Heart Is A Muscle

This is so cute and encouraging, okay, really I just need Carly Rae Jepsen to send me uplifting messages and dog pictures. That's what I need in my life, and these lyrics make me think she'd do it. Send me the dogs, Carly.

5.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Uh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Will never let me go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Uh oh Curiosity

- Curiosity

Yeah that's right, I saved the best for last. Sometimes you need the sweet sound of some "oh"s. Sometimes nothing expresses anything better. But then maybe I'm stuck on this one because this is the song that made me love her after the landslide that was Call Me Maybe, but before the coming of the very invention of music itself, E•MO•TION. So y'know, Curiosity is the best.

Anyway, just, the main thing is that I love her so much.

Thank you so much for your comments, especially if they include limericks about skeletons.
