Compare two english songs

The songs that I chose to compare are:

• Boston (agustana)

  
  

• The scientist (coldplay)

  
  

These songs are about love but on the other hand it tells you about broken hearts.

In the first song that is Boston it tells you that a boy fell in love but the girl doesn’t want anything with him indeed she doesn’t even care. This song is similar to “the scientist” because it also tell you about a broken heart and likewise the girl doesn’t care for him, nevertheless they have a lot of differences for instance:

In the first song he wants to move to Boston and leave California but in the second song he tells you that he doesn’t want to forget anything and he wants to come back to the start, on the other hand in the scientist song he keeps loving her and he wants to make up, he begs for an opportunity nevertheless in Boston he tells you that he wants to leave California because he is tired of everything, furthermore he wants to forget everything.

The meaning of both is about broken hearts:

• Boston

It tells you that a boy fell in love but the girl doesn’t want anything with him and as a result the boy felt so bad that he decided to leave California and move to Boston. He doesn’t want to remember anything because it’s so painful for him.

• The scientist

It tells you the story about a couple that broke up. The boy wants to make up with her and he decided to beg her to come back.

The song says that it wasn’t easy but they can solve the problem and come back to be the same, maybe the boy regrets something that he did wrong.

Quote

“Essential yet appealed

You carry all your thoughts across an open field

Where flowers gaze at you

They are not the only one who cry when they see you”.

It means that when h e see her he turns sad because he remembers all the moments that they had together and it’s so painful for him.

“Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles, chasing tails

Coming back as we are”

It means that he wants to come back to the start like it was and that everything turns the same.

“I was just guessing at numbers and figure

Pulling the puzzle apart

Questions of science, science and progress”

It means hat he was looking for a way to reflect what he did wrong and how he could clear his mind.
