Atonement

Been listening to this song on repeat: was initially attracted by the scene from atonement and fell in love with the song. Loved the movie although it's an absolutely heart-breaking one. Can't rem if I read the book or watched the movie first but it's one of the rare instances where both movie and book are equally good. I think this music video is wonderfully edited as well; it blends perfectly with the song.

Kathy's Song- Simon and Garfunkel

I hear the drizzle of the rain

Like a memory it falls

Soft and warm continuing

Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind

Through the window of my eyes

I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets

To England where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused

My thoughts are many miles away

They lie with you when you're asleep

And kiss you when you start your day.

And as a song I was writing is left undone

I don't know why I spend my time

Writing songs I can't believe

With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt

All that I once held as true

I stand alone without beliefs

The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain

Weave their weary paths and die

I know that I am like the rain

There but for the grace of you go I.

I thought this was quite a brilliant song despite its simplicity.i especially like this verse:

And so you see I have come to doubt

All that I once held as true

I stand alone without beliefs

The only truth I know is you.

It's a subtle love song written for a Kathleen Chitty, whom Paul was besotted with in the 60s.

Once in a lifetime love- Alan Jackson

Some people have it and some people don't
Some people never will
And sometimes it's hard to know when you've got it
Sometimes it's perfectly clear

Well, I know it's out there, I've seen it happen
I know the way it should feel
'Cause there's no mistakin' that good kind of achin'
Of a once in a lifetime love

Once in a lifetime love
A love like we've all dreamed of
It may go disguised right before your eyes
A once in a lifetime love

So if you think you've got it
If you feel it inside you, don't let it slip away
You may not ever find what you never
Thought you'd have anyway

And if you've always had it and just realized it
You know how lucky you are
To wake up beside what some never find
A once in a lifetime love

Once in a lifetime love
A love like we've all dreamed of
It may go disguised right before your eyes
A once in a lifetime love

It may go disguised right before you eyes
A once in a lifetime love
