Look no further - a love song
For some reason I just can't get into making Top 5s, even though they are a current cultural phenomenon (in blogosphere). I began to think of my Top 5 albums, and realised hours were going to go by, and Top 5 love songs was, well, going to take yet more hours. Then not only that, but I would have to find a decent youtube to go with them, because let's face it, what some people accompany songs with on youtube is awful. And I can't access youtube at work. But, inspired by Ben's Top 5 love songs, I have decided to give you my current love song.
A few years back I asked for an CD for Christmas, which I can't even remember (in my family, we give Christmas suggestions, because that means less stress for some that thinking something up), and I got Dido's Safe Trip Home instead, because they couldn't find the other. I wasn't rapt initially, but then a couple of weeks ago I left my iPod at home for a couple of days in a row and I discovered that I had put this one in my library on the computer, so I started listening, and a few songs on there have now got to me. And I really like this one, for a love song (if you go here you can listen on the right, and just wait for the horns and strings to enter - and I have taken the liberty of fixing up the words, because writing "cos" just looks imbecilic):
Look No Further
I might have been a singer
who sailed around the world
A gambler who wins millions
and spent it all on girls
I might have been a poet
who walked upon the moon
A scientist who’d tell the world
I’d discovered something new
I might have loved a king
and been the one to end a war
A criminal who drank champagne
and never could be caught
But among your books, among your clothes
among the noise and fuss, I’ve let it go
I can stop and catch my breath
and look no further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found its home
Everyone I’ll never meet
and the friends I won’t now make
The adventures that there could have been
and the risks I’ll never take
But among your books, among your clothes
among your noise and fuss, I’ve let it go
I can stop and catch my breath
and look no further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found its home
