A friend of mine introduced me to a song she loved and I being a music lover couldn't wait to listen to what she was recommending. The song was Brighter Than Sunshine by Aqualung taken from the movie A Lot Like Love starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. I haven't seen the movie yet but I saw the trailer years ago and fell in love. I know, you're like "you fell in love so why haven't you seen it till now?", ironic, I know. But it is what it is.
I am a major thing for soundtacks so this song blew my socks of and I just can't get it out of my head for too long I might explode if I don't share it with "you". If I was a computer wiz I could just post the link so you could listen to it but I'm not. So here's the lyrics. Go over at youtube.com and listen.
I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling
Tied up in ancient history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling
What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
and it's brighter than sunshine
I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling
I didn't have the strength to fight
suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling
What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.
Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me
What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
I got a feeling in my soul ...(repeat chorus to end)
See (or heard?) what I mean? The lyrics just make you fall in love and wait till you here the music! It will transport you to fairyland or something!
I was really hesitant to blog about this song because it talks about love. I mean, what do I know about love? I've never been in love before. But I "think" I know what it would feel.
It would make you feel like the world has stopped and all you see, think, hear, feel is that person you're in love with. You just want to see them every minute of the day and talk and cuddle or whatever. At least that's what they say in the movies.
You know that watch brand Zenith? I saw one of their ads and it qouted Plato "At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet". I couldn't agree more (I think).
Shouldn't Ive written this last Valentine's day? Perhaps. It might not be the season of hearts today and I don't have a Valentine but this song by Aqualung is a lot like love in its self.
P.S. This song makes me feel brighter than sunshine. (CORNY!! STOP ALREADY!!)
