A dreamer

I heard this song over at K-Lite this morning. Sheesh, it’s been a long time…this song brings back a lot of memories from last year. It’s from the movie ‘A Lot Like Love’ which I saw with Yyoni on its first day of showing (right before the prayer meeting, hehehe). I just love Ashton Kutcher (I have this thing for guys who look stupid & are ridiculously gorgeous) and I thought he was just so hilarious when he sang ‘I’ll Be There For You’ by Bon Jovi. But I digress.

‘Brighter Than Sunshine’ is supposed to be a love song full of hope, a song of somebody so in love, but for some reason the melody sounds so sad, at least, to me. And it made me sad when I heard it this morning. Well probably because it’s Tree Hill night–and I’m just so full of angst on Tuesdays. Peyton and Lucas’ characters just give me that melancholic high which I used to get from Joey of Dawson’s Creek. And I just love that Peyton is a rocker chick and Lucas is a cutie who reads (not too many guys actually read books)–the quotable quotes I get from them are endless…

Lately I’ve been rooting for the other characters as well–Nathan for trying so hard to hide his true feelings for Haley…Haley for fighting for her love for Nathan…and Brooke who is secretly pining for Lucas ("…this is how I spent my summer, wanting you").

I’ve been pining for somebody since early this year–trying so hard to "hide my love away." But it gets so tiring…I’m beginning to lose my power to pretend My heart is breaking ‘coz some bimbo-looking girl stole the sun from my heart, aaaarrrrgggghhhh! Haaaayyyy, I need to get myself together…I might as well be chasin’ the wind.

Brighter Than Sunshine 

I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling

Tied up in ancient history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you’re standing next to me
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don’t care
I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine
Suddenly you’re mine
and it’s brighter than sunshine

I never saw it happening
I’d given up and given in
I just couldn’t take the hurt again
What a feeling

I didn’t have the strength to fight
suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It’s brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don’t care
I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine
Suddenly you’re mine

It’s brighter than the sun
It’s brighter than the sun
It’s brighter than the sun, sun, shine.

Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It’s brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don’t care
I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine
Suddenly you’re mine

I got a feeling in my soul …(repeat chorus to end)
