#songshare – Sai che

Sai che – Marco Mengoni

Do you know that

Do you know that
I’ve come back to see again
The place where we went together
Where it rained while the sun was shining
 
But no
There wasn’t that sensation anymore
Of serene joy
Do you remember how it was
When everything used to shine
And I wanted you, you wanted me
 
We were truly happy with few
Neither how, nor the place were important
Without playing it big
And swearing eternity
But in a way or another
Hoping while it happens
 
Do you know that
I’ve searched a way to forget
But against it, is me liking you
This is even bigger than me
 
And there is no
No reason for not getting back together
That seems stronger than every time
For every time
I wanted you, you wanted me
 
We were truly happy with few
Neither how, nor the place were important
Without playing it big
And swearing eternity
But in a way or another
Hoping while it happens
 
Have done it all, in order to not stay at the door
And to finish up being alone with that few that’s left
Take shelter in a place far away from the world
Where even a second feels like infinity
 
The love that’s left
And the time that goes by
 
And believe me, you know that I searched a way to forget
Forget of still liking you
But there are no rules that one can go after in order to let it flow
I just can’t help it
 
We were truly happy with few
Neither how, nor the place were important
Without playing it big
And swearing eternity
But in a way or another
Hoping while it happens
 
It’s the love that is left
When the time doesn’t go by
And you stay at the door
With the love that is left

 

#songshare – Long Distance

Long Distance – G.E.M.

 

Want to listen to the music you have heard

Where is the future

I am most familiar with you
对你我最熟悉

You love freedom but i love you more

I can get used to long distance

#songshare – I Knew You Were Waiting

There was a period of time in my life, I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. Besides reading the Psalm from the Bible, this song would get me out of bed.

 

I Knew You Were Waiting – Aretha Franklin, George Michael

Playlist

“You can tell a lot about a person by what’s on their playlist.”
– Mark Ruffalo

 

I accumulated songs spanning across decades to a Cassa’s Faves Spotify playlist. They are songs with lyrics touched my heart. Other than that, I had not done any analysis on the playlist until I came across the Mark Ruffalo quote “You can tell a lot about a person by what’s on their playlist”.

We are who we are both in the sun and in the shadow.

My professional life requires me to be a people person who is supportive, accountable to my work, respecting others and acting with integrity. So I seem to be a real positive person who is full of hope. I will say this is me in the sun.

My playlist is me in the shadow. I am filled with regrets, sadness, missed chances, broken promises and disappointments. When I listen to my playlist, every bit of me mesmerised in the melodies, transfixed in the lyrics, living out my shadow in the open air. They take me to places where I allow the pain to surface, rise and fall, ebb and flow into the inner chamber of my heart so very ever scarred.

I allow my heart to mist my dark eyes, to rain on my soul, to darken my days. The long nights is my companion, the daybreak is my watching angel and the first ray of the sun is my knight.

I am me in the sun and in the shadow in one breath.

Love Is A Losing Game – Amy Winehouse

Goodbye My Lover – James Blunt

Brick – Ben Folds Five

Clown – Emeli Sandé

Mr. Blue – Michael Franks

Skinny Love – Birdy
