From the moment I was born, my grandmother always talked about what type of men I should look for when I was older. She would always say, “Ally, you have to look for a man just like Frank Sinatra!” I never really asked her why until recently and she replied “just listen to  âFly Me To The Moonâ and you’ll see why.” She then told me that the moment that I found a guy that made me feel that way and want that, well then that’s what it was all about. Is that true though? Do we still live in a world that believes in words such as…
Fly me to the moon
Does this mean that a person has to literally fly one to the moon to show them that they love them? Does a person have to be literally up in the sky to prove and feel love for another person. If thatâs the case, what about the people that are afraid of heights? Can they still be in love?
Let me play among the stars
Does he not know that a star canât be touched? Has romanticism led us to believe that the only place we can experience the full meaning of love is in another atmosphere? Can we not play among the flowers and experience the same feelings for one another as we would playing âamong the starsâ and if thatâs the case could we not just buy those sticks that we light up and twinkle when we light them up? Could that make us feel the same way? I guess the more important question is, what if we fly someone to the moon and we let them play among the stars but we donât have any sort of special feelings towards them? Is the fact that everyone who is in love âfeels this wayâ going to make the other person begin to have feelings for the person who flew them to the moon?
Let me see what spring is like
If Iâm not mistaken spring is better seen and felt on earth in the ground where you can see the flowers and smell them as well. If youâre flying to the moon isnât it cold? Donât you have to wear a special suit to be able to float? How will you be able to experience spring?
On a-Jupiter and Mars
This is just silly, these two are way too far from one another. it is said to be the same distance from earth to the sun. The distance that is necessary for us not to burn to death. Therefore, why would we pick two planets that up to this day have not proven to have seasons to look at how spring is like?
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Thatâs right, silly me, how did I not understand that those lines meant hold my hand and kiss me. Why donât all the guys just say fly me to the moon and let me see what spring is like to let a girl know they want to hold her and kiss her?
Therefore, is this still a good way to determine how to pick âthe love of your life?â or the so called loved one? Is romanticism still the way to get to a girls heart? Could a guy actually make a girl fall in love and remain in love by flying her to the moon? If so, why donât we hear about more successful trips to the moon? đ
