Another Sad Love Song....

I was YMing with Nickxandar the other evening, and in between discussing about the hotties on Amazing Race Asia 2 and who will be booted out on American Idol, we got to talking about sad country love songs. You know, the ones about empty promises, lost loves and broken hearts.

One particular tune that came to my mind was a song on Trisha Yearwood's latest CD Heaven, Heartache and The Power Of Love entitled "Sing You Back To Me". I really enjoyed listening to the song because of its simple delivery: just her vocals backed by a classical guitar. Nick, however, felt that the song was a bit too depressing and should (never?) be listened to when one is in the midst of a break-up. I feel that this song can be used as a benchmark to gauge one's recovery. To quote Nick, if you can hear it without the waterworks then you're over the person already....

Sing You Back To Me

I’d like to write a song
A sweet and simple thing
And if I do it right
It’d be the only one I’d sing
‘Cause it would bring me everything I’d need
A song that I could sing you back to me

Sing you back, bring you back
A miracle of page and pen
You’d hear it and be here again
And always and forever there would be
A song that I could sing you back to me

There must be a million words
And all I have to do
Is lay my heart upon
Those rare and magic few
Why can’t it be as easy as it seems
A song that I could sing you back to me

Sing you back, bring you back
A miracle of page and pen
You’d hear it and be here again
And always and forever there would be
A song that I could sing you back to me

Sing you back, bring you back
A miracle of page and pen
You'd hear it and be hear again
and always and forever there would be

A song that I could sing you back
Bring you back
A song that I could sing you back...
To me
