Song Obsession

You know there are those songs that you hear on the radio (if you listen to it) and you love the beat, the sound of the singer and the pace of the lyrics. Couple of weeks ago I saw Muse with my friends. I knew their music, but as to the name of the songs and what exactly the lyrics were, I had no clue. I caught on here and there and from what I could decipher, I enjoyed it very much. I wanted to get their cd's so I could listen to more of them and get acquainted with all of their songs, as well as learn the names of the songs. One song I love (partly due to the performance I saw live and who I was with at the time) is Starlight. I knew some of the lyrics, but before getting those cd's (a big shout out to Trixie for sending them to me) I didn't know all the lyrics to the song. Now that I do, I'm even more in love with the song and will continue to blast it until I get tired of it.

Since that is a rare occurrence with songs I love, the people around me will just have to endure.

Here are the lyrics for Starlight in case you are unfamiliar with them:

"Starlight"

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

Don't you just want to cuddle up with someone while that's playing? Or, if you're like me, blast it until everyone in the surrounding county can hear it while you sing along in a loud obnoxious voice until it ends.. and then you hit replay.
