Shannon’s Perspective:
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
And just how can I be sure of that....
You make me feel like I am home again
You make me feel like I am whole again
You make me feel like I am young again
You make me feel like I am fun again
You make me feel like I am free again
You make me feel like I am clean again
Trust me if you find someone who makes you feel that way and you know they feel the same that's how you can be sure.
What can I say - I'm a sucker for The Cure.
I would argue, though, if you went back through the previous 332 days there is a lot of diversity in the artists that have made this list.
But this holds another special place for me. We've referenced previous playlists we made for each other and this song is off of one I gave Shannon. It was a "imagine if" playlist - imagining if we had known each other in high school and only using songs during that period of time that I knew and loved since we both graduated in 1989. I also tried to recreate the immaturity you have being that young and naive. Mainly because I was an expert at being immature, naive and young - all at the same time!
Here is the note I made at that time:
Lovesong (The Cure, 1989)
While yet the plan was to put these songs in chronological order in terms of their release, I am also seeing a pattern of moving through a relationship. This was totally coincidental, and it drove an already emotional process even deeper for me.
Just Like Heaven (I’ve lost you); Love Will Find A Way (We’ve reconciled, but things will never be the same as they were before); Lovesong (I want you to know all the ways you affected me, and I will always love you…)
There's not much else I can say, as the lyrics say it all and they're pretty easy to understand and relate to...
Lovesong
The Cure
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
Fly me to the moon
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
