Pictures of you

526 views. 2010-2-5 14:51 |

I forgot that this song also helped me to cope with the loss of my ex-girlfriend. It hit home because I'm a photographer and I had taken so many pictures of her. I have since destroyed those pictures. I couldn't bare to look at them any more.

The video isn't great but the lyrics are so epic! I think this is possibly the saddest song I've ever known.


Band: The Cure
Song: Pictures of you.

Lyrics:

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But i never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But i never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

You might have heard it in a HP printer commercial from about a year or two ago.

Yes, I had to destroy the pictures. I wanted her back so badly. I would look at the pictures everyday and they made me so very sad. Once the pictures were gone, it was easier to let her go.

If you have never tasted love, you can't fully relate.

Yes! The Cure is an amazing band. The lead singer, Robert Smith is a genius when it comes to lyrics and I love his voice. I was lucky enough to see them live in concert! It was a great show!

The concert venue was an ampitheater near the city of Chicago in America. The concert was in 2005 I think.

I've been to several live concerts but not one Foreign band. I tell u my sad gloomy story. Once Yeah Yeah Yeahs came to China, I was dragged home by my mom due to the damn rain...excuse my dication...
Last December, it was reported that one of my favourite band the Killers would come to Beijing. I got the ticket, but it was cancelled at last...

Wow! I would have loved to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I love the lead singer, Karen O! I'm sorry your mom got in the way! Moms have a way of doing that.

I wanted to see The Killers and the venue they were to play at is right next to my apartment building. I refuse to pay money to see any band there though. The acoustics are horrible and they don't let anybody stand up. I say Kanye West there and it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen. It's too bad they canceled but the worker's gymnasium is a horrible place for a concert.

Yeah, that's what moms do. Karen O is cool! She used to be my fashion model, honestly.

Dude, you are sooo American! (∩_∩)

Well, I've never been to worker's gymnasium, so I have no idea what it is like inside. I don't know whether you know the Star Live. I like the size of the venue whether for the acoustic or rock music. And I am sure they allow the audience to stand up.
