"Jump"-Van Halen

I can remember being super young and hear this song come on the radio. It is a very upbeat song with what sounds like and electric keyboard, drums, and electric guitar. It is a rather short song but the meaning behind it is a beautiful one. I am not really a fan of the repetition of the word "jump" just because I feel like it is a little boring. However, I love how upbeat the song is. After a little digging and trying to figure out what the song meant, I learned that the song itself is written as a person jumping into a relationship, taking the leap of faith. Throughout the song the electric keyboard and the drums are mostly what I hear prominently until the end of the song where an electric guitar solo comes in. I guess it might have just been me but my initial understanding of what seemed to be the message behind the song was a little dark and I thought it was something as of suicide and to my surprise the initial meaning of the song was inspired by that. But, after some thinking they decided that this was the best route and changed the meaning of the song. My favorite instrument of the song would have to be the electric keyboard as it makes just such a unique sound, and as soon as the song starts makes the signature start. I don't really know any other songs that start with that same melody in the beginning of the song. Overall, I love this song as it reminds me of my childhood.
