Well this is it. Hopefully the non-sad version of it: Meaningful Lyrics"},"content":{"rendered":"

So I think if I just stick to the lyrics of\u00a0modern songs<\/em>, we should avoid the sadness I was experiencing earlier<\/a>\u00a0when I was trying to draft an entry about lyrics that either I find really clever, or evocative, or both. Mainly both.<\/p>\n

It seems like an appropriate title, since blogging is all about words and writing.<\/p>\n

Of course, my first entry isn’t modern really. But it\u00a0does<\/em> come from the musical that’s had the most impact on me, ever.<\/p>\n

take my hand<\/strong>
\n and lead me to salvation<\/strong>
\n take my love<\/strong>
\n for love is everlasting<\/strong>
\n and remember the truth that once was spoken<\/strong>
\n to love another person is to see the face of God<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s from Les Miz… the finale. Yes, very Christian, but I love it nonetheless. Because even if I don’t believe in a monotheistic, “old man in the clouds,” god, I think the sentiment is perfect. Plus, harmony from my two favourite Les Miz characters, Fantine and Eponine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and sometimes when we touch<\/strong>
\n the honesty’s too much<\/strong>
\n and I have to close my eyes and hide<\/strong>
\n I want to hold you ’til I die<\/strong>
\n ’til we both break down and cry<\/strong>
\n I want to hold you ’til the fear in me subsides<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, this isn’t modern either… but I swear all the others are!<\/p>\n

You’d have to be of a certain era to get this one… it’s Dan Hill’s most famous song (some would say one-hit wonder),\u00a0Sometimes When We Touch<\/em>. Basically I love it because my mum loved it, and it always makes me think of her. But on top of that, it does a great job of describing love.<\/p>\n

Also, please don’t die of the cheese factor of this particular video. Shot in Hell (aka Toronto) apparently. I suspect Krista will enjoy. LOL<\/p>\n
