I finally grasp why people buy MP3 players. I've been an MP3-only kinda gal for at least the last 5 or 6 years. Nevertheless, I never wanted to listen to music anywhere other than at my computer or in my car, and neither case necessitated a portable MP3 player. Most of the time, I wanted silence. Quiet. Stillness.
These past few weeks, I've been dying to listen to music in bed. I mean, I've really wanted to just take my music to bed and curl up with it. I wanted to wear it like an old coat, bury my head in it as if it were the chest of my lover.
Possibility -- By Lykke Li
There's a Possibility,
There's a Possibility,
All that I had was all I'm gonn' get.
There's a Possibility,
There's a Possibility,
All I'm gonna get is gone with your stare
All I'm gonna get is gone with your stare
So tell me when you hear my heart stop.
You're the only one that knows.
Tell me when you hear my silence.
There's a possibility I wouldn't know.
Know that when you leave,
Know that when you leave,
By blood and by me, you walk like a thief, by blood and by me, and I fall when you leave.
So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
you're the only one that knows.
Tell me when you hear my silence,
there's a possibility I wouldn't know.
So tell me when my sorrow's over,
you're the reason why I'm closed.
Tell me when you hear me falling,
there's a possibility it wouldn't show.
By blood and by me, and I'll fall when you leave.
By blood and by me, I follow your lead.
Listen to it
here. It's just one of many songs that have held me hostage lately. It's a bit on the anguished/depressing side, but many good songs are.
