Finding Stability in Love: A Refreshing Perspective
In 'Golf On TV (feat. JP Saxe),' Lennon Stella explores the refreshing and somewhat bewildering experience of finding a stable and healthy relationship. The song opens with a scene of domestic tranquility, where the protagonist wakes up to a made bed and finds her partner downstairs doing dishes, with her mother present and approving. This setting immediately establishes a sense of normalcy and comfort, which contrasts with the protagonist's past experiences of romantic dysfunction and compromise.
The chorus highlights the protagonist's confusion and amazement at the simplicity and stability of her current relationship. She contrasts her feelings with societal expectations that love should be tumultuous or that one love could never be enough. The metaphor of people watching golf on TV serves to emphasize her bewilderment; just as she doesn't understand the appeal of watching golf, she doesn't understand why people believe love should be complicated or painful.
Throughout the song, the protagonist grapples with her past beliefs about love and relationships. She acknowledges that the 'old me' would have been skeptical of this new, healthy dynamic. However, she embraces the stability and consistency her partner provides, even if it feels strange and unfamiliar. The song ultimately celebrates the beauty of a simple, loving relationship that defies the chaotic norms often romanticized in society.
