J and I went to a concert on Monday night, and it was great! David Gray...one of my favorites. Most people know him from "Babylon," but there is so much more that he does. His last album, Foundling, is great. But some of my favorite songs are from a while ago. White Ladder was his most famous album with "Babylon" and "Please Forgive Me," being some of the more well known songs. But as I sat at the concert, which was an acoustic concert, I tried to really listen to the lyrics of the songs. As I did, I realized just how much I love "This Year's Love." Here are the lyrics:
This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own, too long
When you hold me like you do
It feels so right, oh now
Start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feelin' like I can't go on.
Turnin' circles time again
Cut like a knife, oh now
If you love me got to know for sure
Cuz' it takes something more this time
Then sweet, sweet lies, oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When you kiss me on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singin' ain't this life so sweet?
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
Cuz' whose to worry if our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you notice life goes on
Won't you kiss me on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singin' ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last,
This years love had better last,
This years love had better last,
This years love had better last,
This years love had better last, whoa
This years love had better last.
I love the piano and the slow pace of the song, yet the strong rhythm it has. There is something about the lyrics that just make me think about J and everything he means to me. Sappy, true, but also TRUE!
