This Year's Love

this is my first post since 2008. yeah it sounded like nothing much happened for so long. truth is, i guess nothing happened to the extend of me wanting to blog again. until now. and also i find it suffocating not to express, and a certain book i read recently confirmed that. so here i am, sharing my tales, some takes part in reality, and some just happened in TheFarSideOfTheMoon.

it was at the wrap party that i first encountered this song. it was late, party people had their drinks and hugs, and said sweet goodbyes. she has already gone by then, with her date whom she came with. as i was still a bit tipsy and my sleep-deprived brain trying to make sense of it all, it came on. the melancholic piano intro. after a few bars it was his unmistakably forlorn voice that filled the room. david gray. he sings of stuffs you wish you wrote yourself. i must know this song, and went over to the bespectacled dj and asked him, 'who's this?'. the dj confirmed it, 'david gray, this year's love'. i gave him a thumbs up and swear i'll remember the title till i get home. i did, and even though the first thing i wanted to do when i got home was plunge myself into the bed, i fought the temptation and turned on my comp and searched for it. when it was done, i searched for the lyrics and wham! it's such an appropriate piece for the state i'm in! so here it is, david gray's 'this year's love'



This Year's Love:

This year's love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last

So who's to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
