#INSPIRATION

Dia Dos Namorados by Broken Records

This song is literally breathtaking. Everything about this song just gets me every time I hear it play. From the sad drums and piano tunes to the lyrics that spell such a longing for another.

To me this song is just two souls being honest with each other, about wanting another person to make them larger than life. To feel someone, to love someone, to fill the emptiness that human beings sometimes feel.

The blend of male and female voices just enhances this feeling I get from the song so strongly. The image I have is a man singing from a place very far away from the woman. Both having the same longing and needs; feeling extremely alone; not knowing that actually there is someone out there who really feels exactly the same way. Not even someone who sympatises, but really someone who feels completely the same.

The sad beats and tunes make me feel like these two souls will never meet and thus will always be lonely.

The lyrics of the song is just poetry that speaks directly to my heart. The words have found a way under my skin and every time I read the lyrics, I end up losing my ability to put words together.

Darling can you hear me can you open up your eyes
And see that every move I make is a dance just for your gaze
That every single action is a means not to an end
An opposite reaction to the diffidence we claim

So paint me, take me, hate me, claim me make me something more
Something better than the black and white that coloured me before
I want to feel your body and your hands upon my chest
To feel my emptiness

So bury me beneath the pines
In the shallow soil
In the filth and grime
And still this heart will yearn for you

So I’ve hatched upon a plan, a scheme of dervish wit
A pilot light to guide me through the caverns of your heart
I take this knife upon myself and gouge a shallow track
Until you love me back

So bury me beneath the pines
In the shallow soil
In the filth and grime
And still this heart will yearn for you

(Bold words are the once that speak to me the most, which is pretty much everything.)
