One Direction the Optimists, Ke$ha the Pessimist

Two of the top 10 songs on the radio right now are Ke$ha's "Die Young" and One Direction's "Live While We're Young."





If you listen to the lyrics, you'll find that both songs promote living life and enjoying the night, specifically getting physical with someone (One Direction phrases it as "Tonight let's get some" and Ke$ha says "So while you're here in my arms let's make the most of the night").

The difference is that Ke$ha gets all negative on us. She starts repeating "We're gonna die young," while our favorite British boy band starts repeating "Live while we're young." Both are suggesting a carpe diem lifestyle, but the 'Tik Tok' lady decides to get depressing.

Both songs are catchy though, so enjoy them and remember to get some girls in your arms tonight and live while you're going to die young....or something like that.
