Joni - This Love...

This Love...

Marcus posted some sad songs and I agree with most of his selections, especially November Rain by Guns N Roses. That one never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

But This Love, by Sarah Brightman, is one of my all time, get the Kleenex out, here come the river of tears, bona fide sad songs. I don't think it's meant that way, but the combination of Sarah's haunting voice and the musical arrangement make it so. See if you don't agree.

This Love, Sarah Brightman (15.1Mb 320Kbps MP3)

This love
This love is a strange love
A faded kind of day love
This love

This love
I think I'm gonna fall again
And even when you held my hand
It didn't mean a thing
This love

This love
Never has to say love
Doesn't know it is love
This love

This love
Doesn't have to say love
Doesn't need to be love
Doesn't mean a thing

This love
This love

I've been lucky enough in my life to have received uncompromising, all encompassing, unconditional love. I've also doled it out. Once, it was reciprocated; another time it wasn't. But I think that's because the person it was focused on simply didn't realize exactly what he had. But the beauty (or madness) of that kind of love is that it doesn't matter whether it's returned or not. Because it's selfless. And that my friends doesn't come along every day.

Love is what makes the World go around. The happy as well as the unhappy love.

Thanks for sharing the song. Sarah brightman´s voice make the hair on my arms stand on end.

Wonderful and sweet post! I also love Sarah Brightman.........
On a personal level.....I know nothing about love to be honost with you.

Never had a good example of what love should be. I guess we have to deside what is best for ourself when we didn't see it growing up. This is not always a good thing......sadly.

Thanks for the music:)

Sarah I think we have to love BY EXAMPLE. In order to receive love you have to give love. I know that sounds trite, but it's the only real way. Troels had some wonderful posts about love; too often selfish lust is mistaken for love.

Take care and thanks for stopping by!

Hi Joni,
This is a good post

I love Sarah Brightman too. Love is a powerful thing. Especially reciprocated love. It's best to give love unconditionally. It will return back to you, even if not from the person you were expecting it from

Love,
Marcus

P.S. November Rain is one of my favorite songs too. As you may know, the song and video are based off a short story, "Without You" by Del James. You can find it here: http://www.dimaggio.org/DoNotClick/Favourites/november_rain.htm
