Leaving this blog for a year and more, I decided to pick it up and had fun polishing it.
Today I have been digging my head in the computer to insert the lyrics back to my iPod through iTune, and at the same time, blaming myself for not doing it before. And I found 'Between The Lines' (2007) by Sara Bareilles on Youtube, and immediately captured by her raw power in the vocals, beautifully-written lyrics and melody. It is a song about a couple who loses each other. She knows what is going on before he tells her him in love with someone. Struggling between the line of leaving or staying for the girl, the song is very sad and Sara Bareilles just sang it perfectly. While listening, bitterness came to my throat, and perhaps felt even bitter when I read the lyrics more carefully.
Apart from 'Between The Lines', Sara Bareilles has a lot more good songs, like the recent hit 'King of Anything', 'Uncharted', 'Breathe Again' and so on. In this boring day of copying lyrics and pasting them back to my iTune, it is definitely a delightful surprise to come across to know this American singer, and her wonderful songs. More beautiful songs accompany me for the long night.
Since the video size is too large to upload, direct link:
Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause i cant continue pretending to choose
These opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong be this many times
My memory is cruel
Im queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times
If only i had been listening
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines
I thought i thought i was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So i've learned to listen through silence
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me be
You and me always be
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me i'm almost ready
When he meant let go
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines
