Catering in pop music?
I was reorganizing my itunes playlists this afternoon and came across the number 1 hits of destiny's child. I didn't even know I had that so I decided to listen to one song because I didn't recognize it from the title, Cater to You. I loved it! it was all about serving and appreciating her man in a way that is so familiar to me that I wonder about the nature of Bey and Jay-Z's relationship. :)
I love pop music and it's so much fun for me when I find something in that genre that expresses something meaningful to me. Most of the time I'm enjoying it for the danceability and bounciness but the occasional depths are nice. I especially liked this part :
I wanna give my breath
My strength, my will to you
Thats the least I can do
Let me cater to you
It's rather rare in a pop song that you see references to giving over your will to someone especially a woman to a man in this day in age. The fact that this was on their number 1 compilation makes me grin. I kinda wonder how many women really want to have this kind of relationship secretly or not so secretly even if they don't actually know how to interact in way that facilitate it. It's been my observation that women aren't being taught as girls to dote on their men as much as when I was young. The argument is often made that there are so few men worthy of such devotion these days but who is to say that given some devotion that many a man wouldn't rise to the expectation? A chicken/egg conundrum.
