I don't know whether you've heard of Johannesburg based rock band, The Parlotones. They have some of the best songs I have heard in a while. Their 2009 album "A World Next Door to Yours" is worth a listen each time I play it.
Anyways, I was listening to a song "I'll Be There". It has a beautiful melody but the lines that kind of got stuck within the corners of my brain go like this:
A simple set of lines but with a strong sense of intimacy and naivety. Intimacy, of course, because it's "our" song. Naivety, not in the sense the world (or dictionary defines it) looks at it, but in a way the emotions of intimacy (and simplicity) washes through any prejudices or worldliness. It was nice breath of fresh air. You can listen to the acoustic version here.
This doesn't end here. I had this urge to define something that's my own. My own "love" song maybe! I am still figuring that part out. Hence, this doesn't end here!
I am curious if any of you've come across this quote, "You are what you are because of your failures not despite of your failures". This line came to me as I was listening to this song. Original or not, I need your help to find out.
And fortunes not appreciated, when the sweet stuff comes too fast. - From the song "Push me to the floor" by The Parlotones.

Another love song
A silly love song
But it's our song
And it's forever
