Great song. I like the link to "A Beginning Song". In the bridge he states that "And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine, And all I wanted was a shimmer in your shine, To make me bright". Throughout the whole song I get the feeling he still hopes they could get back together after their relationship ended in summer. And it seems in "A Beginning Song" he gets her back or at least made its peace with her, leading to a new beginning for him. However, and to get to back my initial point, in the ending of "A Beginning Song" he finds himself in that bright light that he always wanted ("My sweet love, Oh my love, And the light, Bright light, It's all around me"). Both songs are my favorites on the album and I really like the connectedness of the two. |

Great song. Currently helps me get through some shitty times. "There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave You were what I wanted I gave what I gave I'm not sorry I met you I'm not sorry it's over I'm not sorry there's nothing to save" Those lines sum it up beautifully. After a relationship, be it a short one as described in the song or a rather serious one, more often than not, there is good reason for a relationship ending and although everybody feels sorry (mostly for themselves), there is really no reason to feel that way. Things happen for a reason and in most cases, there is nothing one can do about it. Just accept it. Live it. Don't be sorry for what happened or question yourself. It helped/helps me a lot right now and I'm pretty sure a lot of help take a lot from this song. Thanks STARS!! One more thing regarding the lyrics. I don't know if it has been mentioned, but if not: The line "And all of that time you thought I was sad, I was trying to remember your name" should be "And all of that time you thought I was sad, I was trying to remember you and me". Listen closely and you will notice. |
