Music: The Heart's Language

Music is a wonderful thing, don't you think? I love listening to it. Instrumental stuff is ok, but I like stuff with lyrics. Maybe it is because I like songs I can sing along to. Maybe because, as a story-loving person, I enjoy the little stories that songs present. Or maybe I love it for the ache some songs create inside me. Maybe I love it for the way it can lift my mood, every single time I am down.

Right now I am listening to ' I'm Kissing You' by Hayley Westenra. It is the theme from a Romeo and Juliet movie, I think. But the lyrics, oh my word!!! When you imagine what happened with Romeo and Juliet while reading the lyrics, it is so poignant. It makes me want to cry. And write. Yet another reason why I love music. It inspires me. Even if most of the thoughts are sappy in nature, at least it gets me writing. And practice makes perfect. Man alive, I love this song!!!!

I think I will post the lyrics for you. Though it isn't the same as hearing the actual song, it will be something. Ummm, I think I need a disclaimer, so I will proudly say that I do not own the song, the lyrics, or Hayley Westenra. Thank you.



I'm Kissing You

Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you
My soul cries

Heaving heart is full of pain
Ooooh,ooooh, the aching
'Cause I'm kissing you, ooooh
I'm kissing you, ooooh

Touch me deep, pure and true
Give to me forever
'Cause I'm kissing you, ooooh
I'm kissing you, ooooh



There. Wasn't that lovely? Yes, it was. I leave you listening to this beautiful song. >hums to self as she posts this...post?<
