Nope, this isn’t about the movie starring Hugh Grant.
Just a few secular songs tt came back to me during this last month or so.
1. Mariah Carey – Hero
“and then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on, […]
so when u feel that hope is gone, look inside you and be strong,
and you’ll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you”
-> Contrast with/apply to NCC’s “The hero in me”
2. Trademark – Only Love
“2am, and the rain is falling. Here we are, at the crossroads once again.
You’re telling me, you’re so confused, you can’t make up your mind,
is this meant to be, you’re asking me…
but only love can say, try again or walk away,
but I believe, for you and me, the sun will shine one day,
so I’ll just play my part, pray you’ll have a change of heart,
but I can’t make you see it through, that’s sth only love can do”
-> Very unfortunate lyrics, which I’d never thought wld ever apply to me.
3. Duffy – Mercy
“You got me begging u for mercy, why won’t u release me…”
-> I realised this cld also apply. Tian ah.
4. Clash – Should I Stay or Should I Go
-> The title says it all. It’s a rock band song which I vaguely remember. This one flitted in and out, but only for a night.
5. Natasha Bedingfield – Say it Again
-> I remember loving this song when I just finished JC. For the courage it implied, I guess. and Natasha’s songs are always so catchy. I’d forgotten abt this song, but today it came back to me as we were teasing Jo abt her heart-patterned attire. This song never really applied to my life back then though. […] And for now, I think tt’s kinda over.
v1
No need to translate,
’cause my eyes give me away,
Even though my lips don’t say..
This should be so easy,
But my head gets in the way,
All the things that I want to tell you.
Pre-chorus
You’re the most perfect yet,
Most definitely that i’ve met,
And I wonder if you know that’s how I feel about you.
I hope you know..
Chorus
’cause I have so much love for you.
Do with it what you will..
And I have nothing more to prove,
Say to me what you will..
Say, say it again.
v2
Not enough lovers in life to go around
But there’s you and there’s me,
If we don’t start it out.. mmmm..
It’s not hard to let go
Enough to let me in.
If it’s meant to be,
It can only be good.
Pre-chorus, chorus
Bridge
Can you take it from me?
If I give, can you receive?
I’m reaching out,
Giving everything.
I give you my heart, I give you my soul,
I give you it all..
Pre-chorus, chorus
Blessed :)
