songs
i think perhaps, sting is the greatest lyricist of all time... i mean look at it... even wen he wrote those simplistic stuffs like Every Breath you Take... only geniuses can articulate so accurately how one feels... but too bad no one understands wat i am talking about... but i just have to get it off my chest... for example, a thousand years... i have tried many times to reproduce something like that let alone its lyrics... i just have to say... fucking genius..well, the english teacher in him could be seen all over the lyrics... one of my favourites which i particularly like... is called Mad About You.. no not that sitcom... that;s one too geeky... cheesy... this one really means something... let's look at it....
MAD ABOUT YOU
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
Every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer,
How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories
In all our histories
Without love
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you
And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust my enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
...everytime i look at it... i say to myself... wen i m in love.. dats exactly how i feel... How much longer! How much longer... well i just have to settle for these fictional emotions..
speaking about which i still dunno wat to write about... for my bloody song...
all my kingdom's turned to sand...
as it falls to the sea..
how tragic..
how apt....
well no one understands anyway....
