| Beach House – Saltwater Lyrics | 10 months ago |
|
Amazing how music can gain new and powerful meaning once you go through life and all of its' experiences...been listening and loving Beach House for a few years, but now just that has happened. This album has been on my to-buy-list for a while, it suddenly appeared before me at a record store while I was on a trip to Switzerland with one of my best friends who I realized I had so many...too many...feelings for. I say too many because l know she doesn't feel the same way (believe me, I tried hahaha), but can't help it - though I value our friendship above all which is why I've been able to live with it, and why I will continue to! Anyhow, imagine my surprise after the trip and rollercoaster of heartache when I play the album after not listening to it for a while, and these are the first lyrics to greet me... "Love you all the time, even though you're not mine" Yup, that's me hahahaha...pretty much shattered me immediately, gosh darn it Victoria and Alex you are masters of the intimate and the tender...this song will hold that special meaning to me, forever. Endless love to you, Beach House. |

| Electric Light Orchestra – Above the Clouds Lyrics | 11 months ago |
| Just came back from a trip to Switzerland with one of my best friends who I realized I am deeply in love with. Literally hiking the snowy mountaintops of the winter wonderland with her, above the endless seas of clouds reflecting the sunlight under the indomitable forms of the mountains...I'm waiting even though I know it will never be (I tried, believe me), but that's alright with me. I have gotten my answer and am in the process of grieving the possibility of the fantasy I had in my mind. A sort of heartbreak, if you will. It's been almost 8 years since we've met and I've survived it, to keep her in my life I'll survive it forever, until a new love can wash it all away...though I think I'll always appreciate her in that light, even if only slightly. Can't help it. The heart is as strong as the mind...but I will be stronger. Love you, J. | |

| @[vinces81:45882] Howdy Vinces! I can fell you as someone in a relationship now extremely similar to this (me being the one who believes in love and my girlfriend being the one who herself doesn't know what love is), that these final lines immediately strike a chord with me...they are asking what is this man who is giving so much but receiving so little in return, going to do? Is he going to continue on his quest for true love and healing with his partner, with the hope that she may change? Or will he painfully realize he must move on from her and let her find solace and peace in the quiet of the self so that she may be able to face her own demons and heal? This is exactly where I find myself now, though in the realization that it is sadly (yet with a glimmer of gloomy hope) my time to go. The lines of "I as a boy believed the cure for pain was love, how would it be if you could see the world through my eyes" bring me to tears everytime I hear this beautiful song, because I immediately think that if she could see things in an optimistic, energetic, excited, trusting, and hopeful fashion (me style) as opposed to a pessimistic, unenthusiastic, cynical, distrusting, and hopeless fashion (her style), things would be so very different....but then, she wouldn't be HER! She's been through so much before we were together that I truly feel she'll eventually come to these conclusions on her own, at least I hope she does because it just seems like such a depressing way to live your life...anyhow this may have made it seem very black and white even though it isn't, but from the very beginning our views of the world and of people as a whole were totally opposite so it isn't that much of a surprise, just took a lot of time to take in, comprehend and understand...here's to all that we shared, and hoping our friendship blossoms beyond our time together as a couple! I wholeheartedly wish for her to find the meaning of love for herself eventually, it's just that it seems it won't be with me, for I've tried...time for us both to be free. She may find the time to heal her scars and I may continue until I find someone who will share their love back just as much, fully and unrestrained. | |
