Oui S'il vous plaît


Hymne à l'amour


Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s'effondrer
Et la terre peut bien s'écrouler.
Peu m'importe, si tu m'aimes
Je me fous du monde entier

Tant que l'amour inondera mes matins
Tant que mon corps frémira sous tes mains
Peu m'importent les problèmes
Mon amour, puisque tu m'aimes

J'irais jusqu'au bout du monde
Je me ferais teindre en blonde
Si tu me le demandais

J'irais décrocher la lune
J'irais voler la fortune
Si tu me le demandais

Je renierais ma patrie
Je renierais mes amis
Si tu me le demandais

On peut bien rire de moi
Je ferais n'importe quoi
Si tu me le demandais

Si un jour la vie t'arrache à moi
Si tu meurs, que tu sois loin de moi
Peu m'importe, si tu m'aimes
Car moi je mourrai aussi

Nous aurons pour nous l'éternité
Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité.
Dans le ciel, plus de problèmes
Mon amour, crois-tu qu'on s'aime?

Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment
!

The saddest story ever. Edith Piaf's love was flying across the ocean (New York to Paris) to see her, when the plane crashed and he was killed.
This song was written by her friend right around that time for Edith Piaf to sing.
It is so beautiful! 


And I am on a French kick. LOVE it.

someone like you

seriously, adele... it's creepy how well you know my love life.
yikes.
well guys, as you can imagine. everything's going wonderfully, swimmingly, just smashing...

I heard that you're settled down
that you've found a girl and you're
married now
i heard that your dreams came true
guess she gave you things
i didn't give to you


Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back
Or hide
from the light


I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
but i couldn't stay away i couldn't fight it
i had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for it isn't over


nevermind, i'll find someone like you
i wish nothing but the best for you, too
don't forget, i beg, 
i'll remember you said
sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
sometime's it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead


you'd know how the time flies
only yesterday was the time of our lives
we were born and raised in the summer haze
bound by the suprise of our glory days


i hate to turn up out of the blue univited
but i couldn't stay away, i couldn't fight
i'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
that for me it isn't over


nevermind, i'll find someone like you
i wish nothing but the best for you too
don't forget i beg
i remember you said "sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead


nothing compares no worries or cares
regrets or mistakes they're memories made
who would have known how bittersweet this world is


nevermind i'll find someone like you
i wish nothing but the best for you 
don't forget me, i beg, i'll remember you said 

"sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"


nevermind i'll find someone like you
i wish nothing but the best for you too
don't forget me, I beg, 
I'll remember you said "sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

there are a couple on my mind today

but... we're going to go with 


It started out as feeling
Which then grew into a hope,
Which then turned into a quiet thought,
Which then turned into a quiet word.


And then that word grew louder and louder 
'Til it was a battle cry


I'll come back when you call me
No need to say goodbye


Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do's try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war


Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye


...


Now we're back to the beginning,
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet.
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget,


Let your mem'ries grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes.


You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye.


You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye

grenade

Okay, guys, this song is a little dramatic but there is this one part (don't worry you'll know what it is) that I think is hilarious. So without further ado, I give you Bruno Mars with "Grenade"

Easy come, easy go
that's just how you live
oh take, take, take it all,
but you never give.
Shoulda known  you was trouble from the first kiss
had your eyes wide open-
why were they open?


Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash,
you tossed in the trash, you did.
Said "Give me all your love is all I ever ask"
'cause what you don't understand is


I'd catch a grenade for ya,
throw my hand on a blade for ya,
I'd jump in front of a train for ya,
You know I'd do anything for ya,
Oh
I would go through all this pain,
take a bullet straight through my brain.
Yes, I would die for you baby,
but you won't do the same.


No, no no no no


Black, black, black and blue
Beat me til I'm numb;
Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from.
Bad woman, bad woman;
that's just what you are.
Yeah, you'll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car.


Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
you tossed in the trash, yes you did.
Said "Give me all your love is all I'll ever ask"
cause what you don't understand  is


I'd catch a grenade for ya,
throw my hand on a blade for ya,
I'd jump in front of a train for ya,
you know i'd do anything for ya
oh
i would go through all his pain
take a bullet straight through my brain
yes i would die for you baby 
but you won't do the same


if my body was on fire
ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames.
You said you loved me, you're a liar 
cause you never, ever, ever did, baby...


but darlin' i'd still catch a grenade for ya,
throw my hand on a blade for ya,
i'd jump in front of a train for ya,
you know i'd do anything for ya
oh
i would go through all this pain
take a bullet straight through my brain
yes, i would die for you baby
but you won't do the same


no you won't do the same, 
you wouldn't do the same
oh, you'd never do the same
oh, no no no.


Am I right? That devil part is so  funny and the music behind it makes it catchy. LOVE IT.
*Also, I just realized that this will seem really bitter after this song, but I swear I'm not. "sophomore year fella" (you know the one that half of the posts in the last year have been about?) he is engaged. Ha. Wow.

a fine frenzy + "think of you"

I've posted "A Fine Frenzy" before. And this song is extremely applicable right now.

It's one hundred and nine degrees
in this crowded room; no room to breathe 
with walls as cold as a gallery...
This is no place for me.
Such hard faces set in smoke;
the smell lingers in my clothes.
It's a bad night to be alone...
But that's the way it goes


And I think of you whenever life gets me down
I think of you whenever you're not around
and you rest your bones somewhere far from my own
yeah, but you still pull me home.


I thought I had it figured out 
in a brand new life with a great big house
and green initials on the towels;
I should be happy now.
Well, you've got yourself a family
and you planted roots down by the sea.
I saw you once on the street...
.... You didn't notice me


But I think of you whenever life gets me down
I think of you whenever you're not around 
and you rest your bones 
somewhere far from my own
yeah, but you still pull me home


Just to put your mind at ease, 
you don't owe me anything;
You've paid me well in memories...


And I think of you whenever life gets me down.
I think of you whenever you're not around.
And you rest your bones somewhere far from my own
Yeah, but you still pull me home.
You still pull me home.
