Don't You Worry Child

I honestly feel like this song completely relates to my life. The lyrics match specific trajedies that have taken place in my young life as a child and as a teenager. This is how this song relates to my life.

My father and I have always been close. I used to live in a "happy home" when I was a young boy with 2 married parents and a sister.

When I was 7-years-old, my parents went through a long and trajic divorce. Although I'm only 17-years-old, those days of being in a "happy home" are gone for me; and I still think about it everyday. (Lyrics Relation: "Those days are gone, and now the memories are on the wall")

My first trajedy was when my parents went through a terrible divorce. (Lyrics Relation: "my first heartbreak")

When my parents got divorced, everything changed for me; I changed schools, changed houses, changed cities, got new friends, got new step parents, and got new step siblings. My father was always there to tell me everything would be ok and that I shouldn't worry because I have my whole life a head of me and that God has a plan for me. (Lyrics Relation: "I still remeber how it all changed. My father said, Don't you worry child, see heaven's got a plan for you.")

Later in life when I was 16-years-old, I met a special girl named Jenn. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. We became friends and started to get feelings for eachother. Even though we didn't know eachother super well, I still loved her, and I thought I'd never lose her. (Lyrics Relation: "I thought I'd never lose her out of sight")

But sadly she lost her feelings for me. When I was at my lakehouse, Jenn completely stopped returning my calls and text messages. While I was at my lakehouse, this went on for about a week. I remember looking across the blue lake with tears in my eyes with the thought that her feelings for me had died. That moment while i was looking across the blue lake was the beginning of my first heartbreak. (Lyrics Relation: "across a blue lake, that's where I had my first heartbreak")

This was a very hard time for me. I had no idea what I did wrong. She wouldn't respond to calls, texts, facebook or anything. A couple of sad weeks later, I remembered that Jenn and I promised we would write eachother a letter for fun because we wanted to be pen pals. I then decided to write Jenn a letter and mail it to her house. In the letter, I asked why she was ignoring me and what I did wrong. I also told Jenn how I felt about her, and that I was sad to see that she no longer cared about me. I mailed the letter. The next day, on September 14, 2012 she wrote me a facebook message that started by saying "Dear Spencer, I got your letter today. It made me cry. From the bottom of my heart I am soooooo sorry. Ignoring you was not the answer to my problems." Later in her message she said "The truth is, I have feelings for someone else. I thought I had moved on but I really didn't! I am really sorry Spencer. You are a great guy." After reading this message, I looked out the window feeling highly depressed. I noticed that the sun was going down over the hill in my neigborhood, so I walked to the top of the hill were I could see the beautiful view of the entire city. While watching the sun go down, I had tears in my eyes and I could stop thinking about her. It was that moment that I knew my heart was broken. I'll never forget that day on the hill, September 14, 2012. Strangely, that was the exact same day that the song 'Don't You Worry Child', was released. I'm dead serious. The same day! My father told me not to worry and that there is a plan for me in life.

The two most memorable moments of my first heartbreak were up on a hill, and across a blue lake. (Lyric Relation: "Up on a hill across a blue lake, that's where I had my first heartbreak")

To this day, I haven't spoken to Jenn in person since August 10th, which is also the same day that Swedish House Mafia made their first LIVE debut of "Don't You Worry Child" Jenn and I no longer talk. We've gone our seperate ways. Sometimes it still hurts walking passed her in the hallway. Even after the way she treated me, and after writing this comparison, I've realized that very deep down, I still have feelings for her.

That is why I believe that this song fits some the trajedies of my young life. Thank you for reading.

P.S. I went to the Swedish House Mafia concert last night and it was SOOOO AMAZINGLY CRAZY!!! :D
