I have been in love with this song since the MacBook Air commercial aired. During our 3am study break yesterday, Eric and I watched the video and were karaoke-ing to it. (Digression: welcome to the youtube era where many music videos on youtube have scrolling karaoke lyrics. http://youtube.com/watch?v=UK_fI8tjNvA. hook it up your comp to your tv, grab a mic or a hairbrush and voila! substitute karaoke machine.)
All today, I have been singing this song in my head, now with the proper lyrics instead of mumbling notes. I really love this song. It's about going into a new situation and wanting to do things right, but completely screwing it up. But the sound of the song makes it seem so c'est la vie. It is the essence of my life motto: "Live and learn." Take risks, enjoy life, and challenge yourself with new things. You may screw up, but that doesn't make it any less worth it to try.
...I think...That's my take on the song anyway :)
Lyrics:
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
See I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate? try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
This is a happy end
Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away
New soul... (la, la, la, la,...)
In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...
