everyone has been raving about this track, so let's hear what you have to say about it!

here is my review of "Came Here For" - let me know what you think about this song. Thumb

--------------------------------------------

The first bunch of times I heard this song I found I’d burst out in tears right in the middle of it, at right about these lines:

“Nice and slow.
You’re not that far.
I know you are, and always will be,
Close in a way, you know.”

I hadn’t any idea what the song was about so I didn't know why I was sniffling all of the sudden. The song itself is gentle, reminding me of one of Beck’s “lullabies.” Jon’s vocals convey wisdom, warmth and understanding. But as I sat for a while and listened to the lyrics I realized why I had started crying; why the gentle melody conveyed such wistful underpinnings. It’s a break-up song. It’s the world’s nicest guy (or most charming, anyways) taking all the blame, assuring you he’s leaving you because you deserve better, holding you gently as you cry, and mourning the passing of the relationship with you.

Wow. That’s much better than I am ever able to do. Usually when I have a bad breakup I just up and leave the state on short notice...LOL!

So congratulations on your maturity, Jon, but beware of all the women who will now be chasing you simply to experience the emotional thrills of having you dump them. Wink

Mish, YOU MADE ME CRY! Sad

As I have admitted to in the past, I have not taken in the song lyrically. I also didn't understand why the song has such a draw on me, although I do know who it always makes me think about when I hear it. I guess it was my subconscious telling me not to hear the lyrics but to take in and remember the feeling. *Lip Tremble* Makes prefect sense to me now.

I have FINALLY started the music review I have always wanted to do and planned on giving "Came Here For" a well written piece coming straight from me as the person I am. I hope to be posting it up on Blogger, myspace and really any where else I can soon but my full personality can be a bit open and overly sentient at times, so I don't think it will be right for these boards.

Just freely sharing a thought into the open void, I know there is no other man better for me then the one I have lost. =(
