The reason that White Flag is so so important, is that it shows you who you are in a relationship. That your true honest and will always be who you where then and now, irregardless of what another person(s) choose not to be. You can never erase the feeling of love, what it fostered in your mind/heart. It brings out the best in you and I highly recommend being in love for your own personal need. Never fear love, never choose the wrong person or a person that not in love with you equally. And overall, love yourself more than anything else before loving another with that same passion and commitment.

she is the exact opposite of an empty headed musician; she strikes me as talented, beautiful and incredibly down to earth. wow!

[avadakedavra]

It's been ten years. Can't believe it.

[MC-hsmf]

Wow her looks, her voice and her singer.

[Meccano.]

It's been twenty one years. Can't believe it.

One of my best songs was inspired by White Flag AND and a very special girlfriend from my youth.

When I was with my ex g/f, she told me once to listen to the lyrics carefully. She was trying to tell me something but I’m still not sure what it was. Maybe she was still in love with an ex, I dunno.

Fave song of hers. That ex must be kicking himself!

I read that Selena was tired of doing "Como La Flor" over and over. Her brother, AB, told her, "You not doing "Como La Flor" is like Michael Jackson not doing "Billie Jean". The great thing about having to do the same song over and over, the singer can change it into several kind of ways.

[upasna]

Wow he really did grill her about the break-up. Ouch.

[heynowls]

Yes! It’s a good song. Simple as that.

[CaliforniaDreamin.]

The guy who is interviewing her is hot 😂

[granand]

Who ever was that ex, what a loser? How can anyone miss this person..

[michael]

But!! If the person betrayed you you'd be an idiot to hold a candle for them.
