How the Ordinary Turns Extraordinary

Okay, hear me out.

(Not in that way)

You know the song 'Ordinary' by Alex Warren?
And the song 'Ordinary Girl' by Hannah Montana?

Basically, Hannah Montana sings about how she's ordinary, and how she is content with it. It's a song of acceptance of the fact that she isn't really unique, and that's okay.

On the OTHER hand, Alex Warren sings about how he found his special someone. A person who, in this world full of ordinary things, has shown him something extraordinary. He’s singing about how, with the right person, the ordinary becomes special, and even the angels are jealous of what they've found together.

The common theme in both songs is that they have references to something being 'ordinary'. However, I like to think that 'Ordinary' is a response song by Alex Warren to Hannah Montana's 'Ordinary Girl', symbolizing how even though she thinks of herself as ordinary, he has an entirely different perception of her. Where Hannah Montana sings about accepting her own simplicity and ordinary nature, Alex Warren sings about how she is anything but those—someone so special that even the angels in heaven would envy their connection.

They're two sides of the same coin—one saying she's ordinary, the other saying she's not.

It's fascinating, really.

How the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

Due to a connection so beautiful and, well, connected, that they see the intricacies of each other's minds, something that might be viewed as ordinary by surface level, but is really something so beautifully complex—like a spiderweb—that no one but their special someone sees it.

Like a diamond—one might see its rough cut, while another might see its sparkle.

The extraordinary that no one else sees.
The extraordinary no one else deserves to see.

Nothing is ordinary about love.
It's wild, reckless. A fearless thing to do, to allow yourself to be powerless.
But, maybe it is love that makes us powerful instead.
The same way, what makes us 'ordinary' makes us extraordinary.
