Mood: Thinkish, Pondering
Music: FF 7 OST
Want to know what I think is (good) poetry?
But knowing that I don't really read and listen more to songs, I'll rephrase.
Want to know what/whose songs (in my opinion) are so good they can just be poems in themselves?
Most of the time when I think of which band/singer can write songs this good, I think of
Dashboard Confessional
Jars of Clay
Hymns (seriously)
And today, guess who I thought of? Rachael Yamagata
It's been such a long time since I opened her CD, partly because I mostly listen to Edward now, and secondly because it's autographed (!!!!) so I don't want to spoil it. But today I just had to had to look for the lyrics to I'll Find A Way and I found this song instead. It's so well written, I'm at a lost for words to describe how powerful it is.
You sat down next to me, like poetry to wine
Our window looked upon a yellow neon sign
I took your hand while you decided what to do
The only kiss I ever miss, I shared with you
The other cities hold a memory still of a place
But when I dream of London, I can only see your face
I want you
Or no one
No one else will do
You, or no one
No one is the only one
to fill the empty space I hold for you
You simplified me down to slogans on the wall
I took offense, but you were right about them all
My friends are telling me I shouldn't waste my time
But I can't concentrate until I make you mine
I'm drawing cards and making wishes down by the well
Who would've known I'd lose myself in the old hotel
I want you
Or no one
No one else for me
You, or no one
No one else is strong enough
to slow me down in time to set me free
I want you
Or no one
No one else is fine
Oh, you, or no one
No one is the only one
to fill me up until I make you mine
Wow. It's so...wow. Yeah. Perfect way to end my rather awful day, with the failing of Social Studies (haha I'm officially a model Singaporean student hurhur) and horrible history (hey look! alliteration! I just made Thomsett proud heh) But at least Chinese was fun! Speaking of which, I better go study for my O Levels now. I need my A1 in order to fulfil my ACJC dream haha.
I wish I could write like that.Labels: Lyrics and Songs, Music
