Thinking about radio songs in malevolent and just,,
We start with 'you call it madness, I call it love'. This feels very apt for the first 4 seasons, when thinking about Arthur and John's struggle between madness and love. It's a song about love and loss and one person being all you dream of despite everything, even if it's crazy. It's about devotion, and betrayed trust, and learning the true nature of love. How it creeps up on you slowly until you finally meet the person you grow to love, and you build yourselves around each other until you're inseparable. How even after they hurt you, even if they call it madness, in the end, you still love them. And by season 5, they've both accepted that they love each other and they would rather die than separate, than lose each other.
But not only that, this song is a sweet love ballad. A real slowdance type song. Something dreamy and romantic.
But 'come easy go easy love'? Almost the exact opposite. Not only is it incredibly upbeat, but the lyrics? The theme? The song is about rejecting the idea of long-lasting love and embracing modern ideals. The song says you cant form regrets if you never let anyone get close. You don't have to waste time on forming bonds, you can be free and independent, and you wont be sad or in pain if you have no one to reminisce about. Never sticking around, never being there, never caring.
If 'you call it madness I call it love's about love and devotion, 'come easy go easy love' is about flippant indifference.
All in all, I am not a patron and i am terrified for what this means for the next episode
