More Than This
It's no small feat when such a simple song lyric captures not only the grief and disappointment, but the absolute beauty and transcendence, of the sentiment that this is all there is. It's one of the most elegant, evocative pop songs, ever. Today, it's bringing tears to my eyes.
Thanks, Mr. Ferry.

ReplyDeleteHey Hahna,
ReplyDeleteGlad you investigated the lyrics! I love how a song can be in our consciousness for years, decades, and then suddenly spark new meaning and interest.
I don't know how I feel about Bryan Ferry marrying his son's ex. Kinda creepy.
