Appropriate Lyrics

I've always loved music. It's the music that has always gotten to my heart. The melodies and chord progressions. But lately the lyrics have been jumping out at me. I don't know what changed - I guess I can just relate with so many of them more now than I ever have before.

The wonderful thing about lyrics is that so often we can relate, but they never will match our circumstance completely (unless we wrote them). Such is the case with the lyrics below. They almost fit perfectly.

Star Signs
by Leona Naess

And I still love him tonight
no distance or time can bite
and i still feel out of place
in crowded rooms
and the silence of space

no love could be
this hard to beat
i still read your star signs
star signs

and they know just when to hit
when morning comes and your friends
they gotta split
and you know just what to say
when no one's around you know how to play

no love could be this hard
to beat
i still read your star signs, star signs

baby, baby can't you see
this world ain't big enough for you or me so
light the candles and turn out your lights
and turn on my lights

no love could be this hard to beat
i still read your star signs, star signs
i don't even know what they mean
what you mean

I don't even know what you mean
what you mean

Let It Die
by Feist

Let it die and get out of my mind
We don't see eye to eye
Or hear ear to ear

Don't you wish that we could forget that kiss
And see this for what it is
That we're not in love

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start

It was hard to tell just how I felt
To not recognize myself
I started to fade away

And after all it won't take long to fall in love
Now I know what I don't want
I learned that with you

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
The tragedy starts from the very first spark
Losing your mind for the sake of your heart
The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
