0Music That Touches the Soul, “Over & Over” – K.Purp
“Tell me I’m not Crazy!” Almost all of us have uttered this phrase before at some point in our lives. It’s often used when we are seeking a valid “second opinion” or “justification” for our stance. Perhaps the most striking use of this phrase in recent memory was in a hit single called “Over & Over” by K.Purp. The song is laced with strong emotions and thought provoking rhetorics. K.Purp masterfully conveys a dilemma faced by someone who has been repeatedly hurt and disappointed by a relationship.
Midway through this 4 minute R&B masterpiece, K.Purp begins to lament about how she “cannot keep taking chances when the odds are stacked against her”. The songstress expresses her heartfelt desire to make the relationship work but succumbs to the reality that it might never work. “All I need is space and time to heal”, she echoes. Through her words, K.Purp seamlessly depicts an image of someone who is at a crossroads, switching between stances of whether to stay out of a relationship or to get back into one.
The song title “Over & Over” emphasizes her prolonged suffering caused by a repetitive cycle in which she keeps giving her partner second chances only to have her heart broken yet again. She portrays her unwillingness to continually get disappointed “Over & Over” again. Emotions erupt and intensify when she drops the hook again, “Tell me I’m not crazy“. The rhetoric used throughout the hook helps to evoke feelings of empathy among listeners who have reached a similar “breaking point” in a relationship.
