"oh love is always better
when we take time to get back to who we are"
Recommended by Charlie Lim, quite possibly my favorite singer-songwriter/performer in Singapore. Starts off like a The Carpenters' love song, soft strings playing on the harp and lulling vocals that brings you back to a forgotten era.
Then boom, the gut-wrenching chorus kicks in, and before you know it, it's a soulful song about dealing with heartbreak, loneliness and the words you wished you could tell to your loved ones. The way the song was written gives a slight chance and hope for broken people to continue on living. Emily King really nails this song and the feelings of break-ups, which is why it was my evening anthem for a few nights while I slept.
Relationships are messy. It complicates and it destroys when not handled right. And it leaves the devastated in the limbo state for many, many days. The tunnels are difficult to navigate in the dark when your only beacon is put out.
I have been in limbo for almost six months. It's soon I need to ignite the flame.
