@Motnight

I agree, very few covers outshine the original, but George Michael's version of 'I can't make you love me' is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not a massive George fan, but his version of the Bonnie Rait song is one of my all time favourite songs.

Another line from Robbie’s No Regrets ‘ if I could just stop hating you, I’d feel sorry for us instead.’

And a memory from my childhood ‘For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly, more dearly than the spoken word can tell’ (The Last Farewell - sighs)

Try twice as hard and I'm half as liked.

FUN! Some nights.

You used to lean in like I was whispering

Even times that don't seem like much will be your only crutch when you're alone
Streetlights by Jason Isbell

And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
Spirit in the Night by Bruce Springsteen

But over there, there's friends of mine
What can I say? I've known 'em for a long long time
And they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way
A Certain Romance by Arctic Monkeys

Cause loves such an old fashioned word, and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night…

They didn't make that up though. It was a famous feminist saying from way back in the day.

@user1471548941 I love finding fellow swifties in the wild 😍😃

blueshoes · 01/03/2025 00:44

… I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time,
So I can end my time with you!

Meatloaf, Paradise by the Dashboard 😁

All the towers of ivory are crumbling, and the swallows have sharpened their beaks

And in she came, did John Finn's wife
With legs like scissors and butcher's knives (I'd love to make such an entrance!)

It's time to hold your loved ones while the chains are loosed and the world runs wild.
