Like a Star...

... across my sky.

I was listening to my iTunes while updating each of the wedding sites' entries last week and came across Corinne Bailey Rae's song, "Like a Star." Her voice just sinks into the deepest parts of your soul and makes it ache (in a good way). I'm a sucker for music that touches my heart. I just love how music can evoke such different emotions with the music, melodies and words.

So, I was thinking, "Oooh, this could be a great wedding song! Quite unique too!" And you bet it's not, "At Last" by Etta James. (No offense to the song, but it's been overdone in my opinion.) It is a bit slow to dance to though. Very sleepy.

However, the chorus does kinda talk about constantly arguing with each other. Unless I'm interpreting it incorrectly?


Here are the lyrics:

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honour to love you

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh...
Your love,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Now I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands


I love it. Adam probably won't like it as our wedding song, but maybe I can convince him to put in our wedding video at least? :)
