This I Promise You - Nsync Analysis

I chose the song “This I Promise You” by Nsync. This song portrays some eros love because the guy wants to hold her in the opening lines of the chorus. Also it suggests that this is also agape love for it is also about friendship and commitment. God would not want me in this type of relationship because this love is some eros but not much. This love is more of about commitment, friendship and trust. What makes me feel uncomfortable is the ideal message of love and promise. Love in real life usually isn’t as easy as just a promise even though it is almost that simple. It almost never happens that simply. Only God’s love is that simple. There are no sexual innuendos that make me uncomfortable because there are hardly any. The only sexual innuendo is the guy wanting to hold the girl. This message can establish the type of family because this song is about a promise and trust. I want to incorporate trust within my family. This song is irrational because it says that “without you in my life baby, I just wouldn’t be livin’ at all.” It also says that “ I’ve loved you forever” which is impossible. Yes this does give a person meaning that he or she is valuable because the song talks about the person being worth the promise to be with him or her. The opening lines of the chorus are “And I will take you in my arms.” This is a sexual innuendo. If I heard this I would be touched because the person is saying that I am special for him or her to keep a promise for. This song is definitely not one of the songs that my friends are listening to because this is a very old song that is before their times. The music adds to the song because it is very mellow and soft. pJust like the music the lyrics are soft and touching. Now that I have carefully analyzed the message of this song, I wish that someday I can apply to my life by making a promise and commitment to a woman for the rest of my life.
