Dear TV
This song is called "Dear TV" by Tablo. He's an Asian artist, but this song is in English. The song is quite short itself, but the actual lyrical genius begins at about 0:42 seconds. :)
I think that this song does not only have relevance to me, but many people all over the world. It definitely reflects the point in my life that is happening right now, because it shows that technology, including the TV, has influenced us all. It seems as if we've been born knowing whatever the media has told us, and are desensitized by all of the bad things we've seen. We understand that we are so influenced by our TVs, but does it stay true the other way around? Do we influence our TVs? Nope. Tablo could be saying that we must remain our own person and not fall into the traps of our TVs/media. After all, people on TV are portrayed as things that they're not. We must stay true to ourselves.
This relates to my belief that you shouldn't be too influenced by the media. Things like advertisements/commercials cause greed in people. It's incessant, like he says: it continues without interruption. Be known for who you are and not for someone else. To me, it's more beautiful to be yourself than what seems better according to the media. Don't let the media break you down into something you're not.
