song for the moment

i watched richard linklater's before sunrise and before sunset today. both movies featured ethan hawke and julie delpy. the first was released in 1996 and the latter, some sort of a sequel, in 2004. i'm not even attempting to review the movies. critical analysis has never been my strong point, as confirmed by my literature papers' grades...haha!

but i have to say before sunrise is one of those movies that one will not forget easily. you have to watch it yourself to know what i mean. i can't say the same thing for before sunset, though. i thought celine talked a tad too much and was most of the time, too opinionated. probably the effect of growing up?

anyway, in before sunrise, there is one very lovely ballad called "come here" by kath bloom. in a glance, the song is simple, the lyrics is less poetic than most songs. but, somehow, it has a kind of raw passion in it, a wonderful ensemble of acoustic guitar, violin, simple lyrics and sad, mournful voice of kath bloom's.

i am one who lives her life vicariously.

i have fallen in love with this song and this is my song for the moment.

come here

there's a wind that blows in from the north

and it says that loving takes this course

come here. come here.

no, i'm not impossible to touch

i have never wanted you so much

come here. come here.

have i never laid down by your side

baby, let's forget about this pride

come here. come here.

well i'm in no hurry

don't have to run away this time

i know you're timid but it's gonna be all right this time
