Notable Song Lines #14: The Reason - Hoobastank

in #music6 years ago (edited)

We heard enough of heartbreak songs. However, there are songs that are apologetic of their mistakes, and owning up on them. One of those songs is The Reason by the rock band Hoobastank.

Hoobastank may already have success at the rock charts, but The Reason made them bigger stars because of its chart successes and timelessness. When I first heard the song, I felt the Coldplay influence on it.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many thing I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning

We make mistakes that can possible hurt other people we love. But having a positive view about it will help you learn and become more matured in such aspect. That way, we can become better person. The character in this song clearly talks about his mistakes towards his significant other, and regretful on what he's done, but he'll keep learning from it.

A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

With all the changes one makes, there's a reason why you are inspired on making them. The guy talking about the change he's into, the reason is that girl he loves for everything. A testament of his real love, and he's ready to make transformation about himself.

And all the pain I put you through
I wish I could take it all away

It seems the gravity of the guy's mistake may be heavy, but he's very much apologetic. If only he can take those pain away, he could have done it. The humility of the guy is real, because almost the entirety of the song is his remorse, and how much he loves the girl.

The Reason was the biggest hit from Hoobastank, and remains their top 10 hit at the Billboard Hot 100 with a number 2 peak. It almost entered the UK top 10 with peak of number 12. It was still considered a hit there though, and their most successful as well.
