Thematic Study: Reading Log Theme: Over Coming obstacles in relationships TEXT TYPE: Song TITLE: The Only Exception AUTHOR/DIRECTOR/SINGER: Paramore PUBLICATION DETAILS: Officially released April 19 2010 by Fuelled By Ramen How the text relates to my theme: The Only Exception is an Alternative Rock song written by Hayley Williams and Josh Farro. The Only Exception is about Hayley’s parents divorce; “when I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind” “And my momma swore that she would never let her self forget” and how she would never let what happened to her parents happen to her “and that was the day that I promised I’d never sing of love, if it does not exist.” She made herself believe that it was safer if she didn’t fall for anyone and stayed away from people “and I’ve always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance” then she ends up falling for a guy and changes her beliefs “And up until now I had sworn to myself that I’m content, with loneliness, because none of it was ever worth the risk” She knows what will end up happening if she falls; that her heart will end up broken and what happened to her Parents will end up happening to her “I’ve got a tight grip on reality” “I know your leaving in the morning when you wake up” but she doesn’t want the memory to fade “But leave me with some kind of proof its not a dream” She repeats the line “you are the only exception” throughout the song to show that even though she vowed that she would never love someone entirely and that she would never fall for someone. This guy was an exception because she felt that if she loved someone she can still be safe and that and she wouldn’t be “content with loneliness” when she was with him.
