Today I would like to talk about one of my favorite songs. To be honest, although I have listened to thousands of songs in many different languages, in English, Japanese, Korean, in French, German, and also in my own native language, Tamil. But if I have to pick out one specific song and from one specific language, I would pick out Taylor Schiff’s White Horse. The reason why I very much like this song is because it is my childhood song. This is the first time I came to know the artist and how she, at the time I did not know the meaning of the lyrics. It was a girl just sitting in a dark room and crying over a breakup that her boyfriend broke up with her over a phone. And the song is very meaningful and it tells the audience that she, at the end of the song she tells the audience how he has treated her and in front of her. Where she lives in a small town and lives in a small town, at the end of the world, the person who… Okay, that’s it.

It depicts a girl sitting in a dark room, crying over a breakup that her boyfriend initiated over the phone. The song is very meaningful, and it tells the audience how he has treated her. At the end of the song, she expresses her feelings about living in a small town, at the end of the world, and the person who... Okay, that's it.
