I'm writing a blog today for no other reason to just write. Maybe I'm venting or just getting something of my chest but I really don't know why I signed in and clicked Post a New Blog, but I did so here I am.
Have you ever heard a song and then something magical happened? Maybe I'm using the word magical to strongly, but every time I hear a beautiful song that is RARE (or that I love to hear over and over). Actually I think what I know what I mean now, I mean: When you hear a song you a relaxed and let your mind think up a music video that would go perfectly to the song. Well I had one of these visions, sort of.
I listened to Death Cab For Cutie's new album called Narrow Stairs, and I was listening to a particular song. I had not heard it before, so I listened to it for a while instead of skipping over it like I usually do, and behold a very intrinsic melody befalling my ears, about half the song is all instrumental and it finally works up to the climax (and that is when the lead singer commences in singing) and to my knowledge henceforth, I believe those are the most beautiful lyrics ever! I'll post them below a bit later.
I am contemplating on why I like these lyrics and I think I finally realize why I do, they remind me of my best friend. Just living in two small cottages on a beautiful meadowland with slight hills and a drop-off-cliff overlooking a beautiful blue ocean. And we are sitting at her house, which has a white picket fence around it and we are sitting outside on a swinging loveseat chair. It basically reminds me of the chat me and my best friend were having, and I as thoughtful as I am I usually daydream about my future, or what have you.
Here are the lyrics to the song as well as the name & YouTube page.
Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart - Narrow Stairs
How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound
But in a language you can't read just yet
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down so easily
So easily
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart
***On another note:
Some things are better to be said, then to not said! <-- Next blog after I'm done with this one.
:D I love the idea of letting your readers know the topic of the next blogpost, then they have something to ponder about until you actually get around to writing it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for that vision! The beautiful meadowland with slight hills and a drop-off-cliff overlooking a beautiful blue ocean... That's my favourite mental place to be. :D Have you seen the "Friends" episode, where Phoebe is trying to make Monica get over Richard? Well, that beautiful meadowland is my "quietplace". And if you haven't seen that episode, you probably won't have a clue why I'm bringing it up... :P
