I Remember

I am so insanely addicted to this song. It's so powerful and beautiful.
Lisa Hannigan's voice is so alluring. The first verse tugs at my heart strings. I don't think there could be a better description of love at first sight.

And Damien Rice's verse is so intense. I know his side of the story is about sort of a failed romance, at least that's what I gather, but I'm just so in love with it. I suppose everyone interprets songs differently.



[Lisa Hannigan]
I remember it well:
The first time that I saw your head 'round the door, 'cause mine stopped working.
I remember it well, there was wet in your hair.
You were stood in the stair, and time stopped moving.

I want you here tonight, I want you here,
'Cause I can't believe what I've found.
I want you here tonight, want you here.
Nothing is taking me down.

I remember it well:
Taxied out of a storm to watch you perform,
And my ships were sailing.
I remember it well:
I was stood in your line,
And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth, your mind.

I want you here tonight, I want you here,
'Cause I can't believe what I've found.
I want you here tonight, want you here.
Nothing is taking me down.
'Cept you, my love.

[Damien Rice]
Come all ye lost, dive into moss.
I hope that my sanity covers the cost
To remove the stain of my love.
Paper mache.
come all ye reborn, blow off my horn.
I'm driving real hard, this is love, this is porn.
God would forgive me,
but I - I whip myself scorn, scorn

I wanna hear what you have to say about me.
Hear if you're gonna live without me.
Hear what you want.
I remember december

And I wanna hear what you have to say about me.
Hear if you're gonna live without me.
I wanna hear what you want.
What the hell do you want?
