Ok, so last weekend I had my wedding reception and my brother who is closest to my age/best man chose an entrance song that made me a bit...butt-hurt. He and I were inseparable growing up and all the way into my mid-20's...but the last 5 years, we have distanced a bit. We live 50 miles away from each other and don't speak as much and when we do speak, we argue. We are also just way different than each other now. I have kind of settled down, but am still pretty much the same person. He has become a music-obsessed (he's an excellent musician...is a member of 3 bands including his solo stuff..plays multiple instruments) hipster type. His turn to the hipster life is part of why I hate this hipster fad so much...he used to be a fun, laid back, open-minded, sports-fan jock (like I think I am) and now everything HAS to be metaphorical, symbolic, serious and ironic. Shit, the dude goes from one of Iowa's best all time wrestlers (3 time state finalist, state champ, top 15 in state of Iowa career wins) to a freaking hipster....UGH!!!!!!!

Anyways, check out the lyrics to this "entrance song" he chose and PLEASE try to convince me this wasn't a personal jab at me because I can't convince myself of that and I am pretty pissed that he selected such an inappropriate setting to settle this score.



"Skip the Charades," by Cold War Kids

You wait on letters
Fishing for any sign of life
Drinks after dinner
Your friends will get you to unwind

Let's skip the charades
Can we just speak plain?

I'm two left feet when
I'm home we tapdanced on broken glass
Somehow you manage
To keep your sense of humor in tact

Let's skip the charades
You're seeing right through me anyway
Can we just speak plain?
We're playing for the same team
But I'm the one that's acting like
Acting like
Acting like
I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like
Acting like
Acting like
Nothing's wrong

You dodged the bullet
You do your best when you're busiest
You're disconnected
You can't find your name in the script

It was you who were wildest
It was you who floated above us all
I held on with wires
Will you come back down if I let you go?

Let's skip the charades
You're seeing right through me anyway
Can we just speak plain?
We're playing for the same team
But I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong
I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong

Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain


And it doesn't exactly sound like the typical wedding reception entrance song either:




* To me this song depicts a relationship (familial, friendship or love) that has become strained/distanced. One side (my brother) is fully aware of the strain/distance and disgusted by it and wants the other side (me) to acknowledge it. The other side (me) is aware of the distance/strain, but is unwilling to acknowledge it and proceeds to act as if there is nothing wrong...in which they are now being called out by the writer of the lyrics about it.

Am I wrong? If I'm not wrong, my wedding reception is kind of a shitty setting to settle this score, isn't it?
