How to Know If That Awesome Christian Song You're Hearing is Actually a Secret Reference to You and Your Crush

It's happened to everyone. You're riding around in your car thinking about your big crush jammin' to some sweet tunes on Air1, or K-Love, or some other station, when it comes on. That song that reminds you of your crush (for our purposes lets call them Sasha, as in a girl or strapping Russian man.) It twists your mind around: Is this song about God, or Sasha??? Well, here are some simple ways to determine the answer to those questions. This way you can jam out stress-free.

1.) When that song comes on, examine the lyrics closely to determine whether or not the song could even be talking about a human being. For example, in Matthew West's "More", part of the chorus reads "I love you more than the sun and the stars that I taught how to shine...". At first listen, you may think this definitely is in reference to the feelings you have for Sasha. I mean, the song does say "I love you". Yet, when you examine the lyrics, it becomes obvious that it is in reference to God. Sasha is pretty awesome, but no way did he/she teach the sun and the stars how to shine. They probably haven't even been to space.

2.) If you wanna go a more elaborate route, contact the artist of the song and inquire them as to who they were referring to. Do they know Sasha? If so, for how long? Are they related, cause if so, their song is kinda weird and you probably don't want to listen to it anymore. The positive of going this route is that you will have all your questions answered. However, you may find yourself in a love triangle with a popular musician, and will most likely lose.

3.) If you really have courage, approach your crush and play the song for him/her. Afterwards, have them fill out a brief survey on how the song made them feel towards you (short answer questions will yield the most honesty). This can go one of two ways: They feel the same way and the meaning of the song doesn't even matter to you anymore or they don't feel the same way, plunging you deep into awkwardness, and Sasha is left awkwardly avoiding you, and you are left resenting a song for the lies it told you that fateful day in the car.

It's always helpful to examine before you approach, because more often than not, that song will be written about God. Not to say that there aren't songs out there on Christian radio that are about earthly love, but when they are its pretty obvious. Listen and learn, my friends.
