There is one hit that keeps returning to radio stations around the globe since it came out in 2006. A month of it on the radio was enough, thank you. Actually, it would have been much nicer if it never existed, since this song is a misdemeanor and continues to be played on every “hip” radio station which focus on R&B and other hit songs. This godawful song is “Lips of an Angel” by Hinder. For those who have not had the pleasure of listening to this horrendous track, let me explain the overall meaning of the song. But first, the music video.
The greasy, black haired frontman is upset in this video. He has a blonde in his bed, oh but he wants the brunette, so he calls her up. Unfortunately for him, he can’t have both. Oh, the agony! He tries to charm her, but fails because, well, look at him. If a guy was singing a horribly produced song about how my lips were like an angel’s to me over the phone, I would turn him down too. He is feeling very down about himself because he can’t get what he wants, and I just feel so bad for him. Their oh-so-hip rock melodies drift through our radios and make the listeners cringe and change the station.
My question is this: If the sound of this song, the call this man is making for a woman with “Lips of an Angel,” is aggravating everyone, then why does it continue to be played on radio stations around the country? We have a duty to stop this song from playing anymore. 
Do we really want these men to continue plaguing our music venues, our MTV shows, and our radio stations? The answer is no. We want fresh, good, good looking artists to appear in venues and our radio stations. Hearing these men preform is not something pleasant and seeing them in general is not something to remember. The front man has a coy attitude which is clear in the above picture. He knows the distress he is causing the music scene, you can see it in his stance. “Lips of an Angel” has played too long. This must be ended. It was annoying enough when it first came out two years ago, and it should have ended there. There is no need to force it down our throats now. It is not a hit anymore, so why are we being forced to listen to it?
The music scene really needs to take these things into account. Annihilate the music that plagues us. It’s the only way.
