Have you heard Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things”?

It’s not related to the gungor song, btw.

I really like it and it’s so catchy and emotional. After the first few listens, I got into the lyrics and it might be just because I’m deconstructing but some of the lyrics are kind of sad…

And I thank God everyday For the girl he sent my way But I know the things he gives me He can take away

Please, stay I want you, I need you, oh God Don’t take These beautiful things that I’ve got

It almost sounds like a plea to God to not make their life as hard as it was before rather than a kind of love song. I haven’t looked into the meaning much but that’s how I’ve interpreted it.

Benson Boone went to BYU for a bit and he mentions finding his faith again. Idk idk. Again, this could be just me with my deconstruction perspective.

How SAD it is that people feel the need to beg God to fuck up your life?
