Ben Howard – Time Is Dancing Lyrics 11 years ago
For me this is the song I was looking for so long.
I fell in love with a girl who had a boyfriend at the time.
We talked for hours everyday, shared our thoughts and/or secrets. No physical contact, I am not that type of person.

She said in a early stage that it was only friendship but I never believed that..

And I was right, we went out to have dinner someday.
She told me she couldn't live with or without me and that I gave her an feeling nobody else does.
I NEVER felt happier in my life than that specific moment.

Since that day we stopped talking to each other. I accepted it but didn't forget.
I am moving on (I hope) but thank you Ben.. for the song I was looking for to describe my feelings.

See you in December!! :D

Ben Howard – Promise Lyrics 11 years ago
Firstly, I really like your view of this song.
Because of your opinion this song has now a double meaning for me.

Secondly, my thoughts about this song has also a different meaning.
For me this is about a man who is transforming into the person he is supposed to be.


“And meet me there, bundles of flowers
We wait through the hours of cold
Winter shall howl at the walls
Tearing down doors of time
Shelter as we go”

In time he will tear down his walls he build (winter shall howl at the walls), it is a long and lonely road to achieve that goal. (the hours of cold) During this progress he has to be careful and patient (shelter as we go)

The we-form is the person he is at the moment and the person he will/wants to become.

The new man is saying to the old man: and meet me there, bundles of flowers.
So when he is finally blossomed, he knows he is transformed.

"And promise me this
You'll wait for me only
Scared of the lonely arms
Surface, far below these burn
And maybe, just maybe I'll come home">>

During the progress there will be people who wants something from you.
Don't give in, just because you are lonely.
You only will lose yourself more and more.
Rise above it and maybe you will find yourself.


The sentence, who am I, darling to you?
Is for me: the way you are now is not enough, that is why you are feeling alone.
Respect yourself and do something about it.
