I don't know why, but this song has been haunting me since the last 3 days. Such a solemn and sad song.
Mostly about the distance felt between a husband and wife, emotionally and spiritually. Like a marriage that feels empty and dour, the emotional bond has gone away. Just like the first words heard in the intro, "It's nothing". The lyric is so simple yet meaningful and beautiful. Just enjoy the song =)
I wrote this song two hours before we met. I didn't know your name, or what you looked like yet. Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed. I could have gone to see a film instead. You might have changed your mind and seen your friends. Life could have been very different but then,
Something changed..
Do you believe that there's someone up above? And does He have a timetable directing acts of love? Why did I write this song, on that one day? Why did you touch my hand and softly say,
"Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway. Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today."
..something changed..
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing, that in a matter of hours we changed the way we were going.
Where would I be now?
Where would I be now if we never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
One of the reasons why I put Queen as one of the Special One. Just listen to this song, and it's mesmerizing lyrics.
Oh oh people of the earth Listen to the warning the seer he said Beware the storm that gathers here Listen to the wise man
I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair Spreading his hand on the multitude there A man who cried for a love gone stale And ice cold hearts of charity bare
I watched as fear took the old men's gaze Hopes of the young in troubled graves 'I see no day' I heard him say So grey is the face of every mortal
Oh oh people of the earth! 'Listen to the warning' the prophet he said For soon the cold of night will fall Summoned by your own hand
Ah ah children of the land Quicken to the new life take my hand Fly and find the new green bough Return like the white dove
He told of death as a bone white haze Taking the lost and the unloved babe Late too late all the wretches run These kings of beasts now counting their days
From mother's love is the son estranged Married his own his precious gain The earth will shake in two will break And death all round will be your dowry
Oh oh people of the earth Listen to the warning the seer he said For those who hear and mark my words Listen to the good plan
Oh oh oh oh and two by two my human zoo They'll be running for to come Running for to come out of the rain
Oh flee for your life Who heed me not let all your treasure make you Oh fear for your life Deceive you not the fires of hell will take you Should death await you
Ah people can you hear me? And now I know and now I know And now I know and now I know That you can hear me And now I know and now I know And now I know Now I know Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know The earth will shake in two will break Death all around around around around Around around around around Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know now I know Now I know Wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo Listen to the wise listen to the wise listen to the wise Listen to the wise listen to the wise man La la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La la La la La la Come Here (I - You) Come Here (I - You) Come Here (I - You) Come Here (I - You)
Ah ah ah ah ah Listen to the man listen to the man listen to the man listen to the mad man
God gave you grace to purge this place And peace all around may be your fortune
Oh oh children of the land Love is still the answer take my hand The vision fades a voice I hear Listen to the madman!
But still I fear and still I dare not Laugh at the madman!
