@[Redapple:18628] What's really corny is your interpretation of this song. Were you even listening to the lyrics? Apparently not because you can't even understand when someone is wishing a couple that they're holding hands by the comig New Year's Eve in hopes they'd still be together by then. The whole song he's singing about other people, a couple who happen to be deeply in love. It seems like they hold the secret to true love because they make it look so effortless. Like everyone can have it. Geez no need to be a scrooge about a lovely song. If you can't appreciate a little love in your life, maybe you don't need to be listening to it or any love song for that matter since you can't comprehend it anyways. |

@[pserotini:18627] I'm sorry, but I just don't see how you came to such conclusions and you're not the only one. I've seen so many people think this beautiful song is about people sneaking behind their significant other's back and cheating. Or that some poor guy is being told about his crappy girlfriend's scandalous ways. I just.....The lines of the song don't tell that story, the lines don't correlate. The song is canonly about two people who are madly and all consuming in love with each other. And Alex was in a foreign city when he met the couple he sings of when they had asked him where was a descent place for them to enjoy themselves that night: "And even if somebody could have shown you the place you wanted. But I bet you could have made it that bit better on your own.." ^That's him saying that even if he, or anyone in the world could have told them where to go to have fun, anywhere they chose themselves would have been perfect anyways because they're so deeply in love with one another. They never needed anyone to tell them where to go in the first place. The start if the song shows the setting, it happened in a foreign place, not in England where he's from. And then he sees this couple and begins to imagine how it all went down for them, what lead them to be so utterly in love with one another. Alex hopes this couple is still holding hands by New Year's Eve. "They made it far too easy to believe that true romance can't be achieved these days." They're so into each other, that they make true and honest love, something that's so hard to find nowadays, seem like it's something everyone can have. And because of that, I think it gives Alex hope for his future and whomever he dates. "You are the only ones who know." Alex is sure the oh so in love couple are the only ones who know the secret to true and honest, all consuming love. It makes the couple seem like they have a secret no one else knows the answer/s to. Hope that helped! For you and for anyone else who was stumped or had another thought of the lyrics. |
