CazGirl Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 I used to wonder the exact same thing about the James Blunt song "Goodbye My Lover". Cos it made my cry everytime I heard it... But I wonder if a) once you've performed something enough times you manage to distance yourself a bit from the personal emotion of the song (whilst not detracting from your emotive performance of it) or b) putting it into a song helps you release the feelings from inside a little. Like a cathartic experience. So that you are able to remember but without the acute pain. I guess the other thing is... if you write the song while you are going through the experience, then time does help heal things and by the time a song got put on an album or whatever you've probably dealt with/recovered from whatever it was that caused you the pain. I dunno:dunno: Just thinking. I've only written a few songs, so it's not like I have heaps of experience with these things. That's like me with Sara Bareille's song "Gravity". I don't feel the pain anymore, but when I listen to it or sing to it, I can feel it bubble again again. You CANNOT sing that song without emotion, it's impossible. There are only a few times when I feel like I'm gonna get teary eyed with that song, but I can sing it fine. I use the pain to sing it with feeling, not to help break me down, if that makes sense.

CazGirl Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 I LOVE the "I'm hating everyone" bit...because while you feel a lot of sentiment towards the person you're secretly in love, you feel a lot of resentment to everyone else because NO-ONE knows or understands how you feel because you feel like you can't tell anyone. And inside you feel so angry and frustrated and sometimes it can just be too much...oh Mika. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverstwilight Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I was going to wait until the album came out before I tried to hear any of the songs, but my gut kept telling me I needed to hear this one. Someone, please remind me to have tissue when I'm in Seattle because this song rips me up. I've had a song I've been aching to hear for the last many years and I've searched everywhere for it. I haven't been able to find it because it hadn't been written yet. Now it's in the world and I can hear it whenver I need to. And I really needed to right now. I think my heart would break if I don't get to hear it live, but I know my heart will break if he does play it in Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 This is like a movie soundtrack....LOVE IT EVEN MORE!!! UPDATED almost complete lyrics: I see you (from I'm falling) I'm standing across from you I'm dreaming of the things I'd do I don't speak, you don't know me at all For fear of what you might do I say nothing but stare at you And I'm dreaming I'm tripping over you Truth be told, my problem's old You mean the world to me but you'll never know You could be cruel to me Why go risking the way that I see you That I see you, that I see you, that I see you, that I see you, that I see Concessions not me at all I'm hesitating only to fall and I'm waiting, I'm hating everyone Could it be you feel for me In any possible similarity If it's so how would I know You never know me at all but I see you, but I see you, but I see you, but I see you, but I see you I'm standing across from you I've dreamt alone now the dreams won't do I'm standing across from you I've dreamt alone now the dreams won't do Truth be told, my problem's old You mean the world to me but you'll never know You could be cruel to me Why go risking the way that I see you That I see you, but I see you, but I see you, but I see you, but I see you I'm standing across from you I've dreamt alone now the dreams won't do But I see you But I see you Thanks for posting! I kept thinking it sounded like 'concessions' but my mind wanted it to be 'confessions', as it made the most sense to me. (Actually, it was cause I had no clue what concessions meant. ) I turned to a dictionary and now I'm sure it is concessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 from bab:wub2:I stand by my most recent interpretation. He doesn't use the word waited/weighted at all. And Christine was right I think, it's In any possible similarity Where you say 'concessions' the subtitles from C4 came up 'conversations' which seemed to fit.

Humphrey Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Where you say 'concessions' the subtitles from C4 came up 'conversations' which seemed to fit. Really? Hmm.. Conversation's has four syllables, concessions three. Three fits, four is a rush. I stick by concessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neiobi Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Love the part that goes like "Could it be, you feel for me..."

'Could it be, you feel for me in any possible similarity?' That is one of my faves from that song. Though my absolute favourite one is: 'Truth be told, my problem's old. You mean the world to me but you'll never know. You could be cruel to me. Why go risking the way that I see you? But I see you.'

Blue Sky Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Where you say 'concessions' the subtitles from C4 came up 'conversations' which seemed to fit. I didn't say it, but I can see it is a difficult call. Both fit. In a couple of weeks I will have the Japanese CD with all the lyrics attached and we can settle it, hopefully. Does anyone else hear the instrumental bit in the middle as a massive movie track, with cameras skimming over mountains and lakes....???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuizzicalQuail56 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Having heard this epic song on mika's 4music album preview, it left me with shivers... B.E.A.Utiful.
