The Story
A memory behind the music
The start of this song can feel a little crass, a little juvenile. But as you really listen you can tell that its a great love song. Not a romantic song. Now a warm and fuzzy kind of love song. But the kind of song that demonstrates what someone would do when they really truly love someone. I would listen to this almost daily when in my undergrad years at UCLA. And honestly I think i'd cry a little bit with how good the song is. Even now I cry hearing this song. I'm probably crying now. I used to cry because i wanted to know what these feelings felt like. I wanted to love someone so badly, to love someone this badly. I'd imagine myself living out scenes like those in this song. But i never did love someone with quite that intensity. It always felt like a mystery to me. It was an aspiration. But now I cry over this song for very different reasons. Now I know what these feelings really feel like. I know just how much i'd do, and how alive I could stay thanks to the glory of love.
