Post 3 - Connection 2

This second connection really took a lot of thinking and flipping through my song library to find, but I finally got it. The song I chose this time is "Don't Matter" by Akon. Again, the connection to the short story is only found in the chorus due to the rest of the song being about the singer's wrong deeds done against his girl. So anyway, the chorus to the song is as follows:

Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gon' fight
Believe we gon' fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you

The first line is very obviously connected to the story because both parents of the best friends don't want their children spending time together anymore. The next two lines are also significantly related to the story because although the two best friends have been banned from seeing each other, they don't care and their friendship lives on. When it says
"Cause we gon' fight, Oh yes we gon' fight, Believe we gon' fight, We gonna fight, Fight for our right to love yeah", it relates to the short story because the two best friends are obviously too close to allow something as insignificant as religious differences (insignificant to them, of course) to keep them apart, and they're going to keep fighting to keep their strong relationship going. This may seem a bit off topic but I find that these close relationships are becoming more and more scarce as we grow because everyone keeps going their separate ways and friendship is becoming more and more of a disposable thing. Friends disappear as we grow older and move on in life, and the only friendships that survive are the strongest friendships because they keep fighting to keep their relationship going.
So again, I hope you made the same connection that I did, and sorry if I made too much of a depressive point in that last paragraph.
