I have to write this down just so I can document the shock…which should subside any minute now.
The news actually made me reflect. No, I am not affected. I’m just forced to think about that single question which I have been avoiding for years now.
I was chatting about Sex and The City the movie with some friends last night, and I brought this song up. I discovered this song (haha discover talaga) last year just before the movie went to the cinemas…
The melody of the chorus is just win. And the lyrics just pinches your heart and your soul (emo muchhh?) at the right (and at all) places.
I’ve been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning them again
I’ve been tryin’ to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it’s about…forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
I love both versions by India Arie and Don Henley (Eagles).
Here’s a live version of India Arie’s song where she mentions that she just heard the Don Henley version on the radio then decided to record it just because she was feeling the same sentiments at that exact time. Don Henley called her up upon hearing her own versio and claimed that he liked her version more than his.
PS. There’s an Umbrella cover at the end of the clip too.
