Every time I open up this blog post edit window and begin to write, I often catch myself and am completely unsure of what exactly I should be saying. It's that great paradox of choice: the more options laid out in front of me, the harder it begins to start to construct words, which lead to eventual ideas. The simple ones grow into complex narratives that end up abandoned because they are simply too grandiose (and quickly lose any meaning I may have tried to intend). So I'm back to basics on this one, I've decided to give birth to a New Age Of Simple Ideas™.

And so with all of this discussion of choice, I now present you with one.
"I would die for you."
That phrase, used with frightening regularity, has come up a few times today within the cadre of the music I've been exposed to through a variety of media. Slightly amusing, slightly fatalistic, fully hilarious. In the words of Fozzy Bear, oletsdodis.
THE CONTENDERS:
Jann Arden –
"I Would Die For You" (1993)
Prince -
"I Would Die 4 U" (1984)
Garbage -
"#1 Crush" (1996)
Bruno Mars -
"Grenade" (2010)
Bryan Adams -
"Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" (1991)
Which is your fav/least offensive use of the phrase?
FIGHT.
