Red Letter

"Took her hand in my hand as we walked out the door, hoped nobody would see us as we left that floor. I took my chances and led her up the ladder. I thought maybe I should tell her everything that I felt: How I played all the cards in the hand I was dealt. Tell her all like it was in a letter. I should tell her that I love her and I need her tonight, that the stars are only second to her beautiful eyes. I want her all for my own; I should tell her." -This Condition

Apologies again for not blogging for over a month. I was really busy after my birthday with a school trip to visit colleges which was fun. I didn't get to blog as much as I wanted to about the lyrics I write but there will be another May next year.

This song by the band This Condition is amazing. My friend introduced me to it. Nathan, the lead singer's brother teaches at her school so I NEED to get an autograph!! The song "Red Letter" is about how much a guy wants to tell his girlfriend that he loves her but he can't find the words. Instead he resorts to telling her as if he were writing her a letter. It's so romantic. If they ever make the music video for this song heres how I imagine it:
A teenage girl and boy at an outdoor summer party. It's a few weeks before summer is over and he may never see her again, so he decides to make his move. He dances with her and has the night of his life with her and realizes this is the last time he'll ever see her. When he sings "...that the stars are only second to her beautiful eyes" he looks up and realizes that night is falling and its either now or never. So he climbs up a tree with her and they sit there talking. Before the end of the video they kiss in the tree beneath the stars.
Pure Romance.
