Music Challenge #44: “Broken” by LovelytheBand #musicchallenge #music #amwriting #MLMM
For this week I’ve chosen the song “Broken” by the group LovelytheBand.What I enjoy about this song is the admittance that the voice in the song is a flawed human being, and that people can love anyways despite brokenness. Maybe we fit because all the rest of us are broken too? Here’s some info about LovelytheBand in this article from Wikipedia.

Use“Broken” as aninspiration to any form of creative expression (including but not limited to short stories, poems, lyrics, artwork, photography, (etc.). Alternatively, if you are a musician, use this as an opportunity to showcase your work.
What do the bands lyrics inspire in you? Doyou feel comforted or hopeful? Do you hate the song or like it? As always. . . can always use pieces of the lyrics to inspire you. Any creative form goes. And you don’t have to be direct or explicit if the nature of your piece is too personal.
Lyrics: “Broken” by LovelytheBand
*****
I like that you’re broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you’re lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you
*****
I met you late night, at a party Some trust fund baby’s Brooklyn loft By the bathroom, you said let’s talk But my confidence is wearing off
*****
These aren’t my people These aren’t my friends She grabbed my face and that’s when she said
*****
I like that you’re broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you’re lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you
*****
There’s something tragic, but almost pure Think I could love you, but I’m not sure There’s something wholesome, there’s something sweet Tucked in your eyes that I’d love to meet
*****
These aren’t my people These aren’t my friends She grabbed my face and that’s when she said
*****
I like that you’re broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you’re lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you
*****
Life is not a love song that we like We’re all broken pieces floating by Life is not a love song, we can try To fix our broken pieces one at a time
I like that you’re broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you’re lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you I like that you’re broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you’re lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you
