The melody is lovely and it's about trying again and again for what you want, or at least what you think you need. It's about picking yourself up and brushing yourself off, and never giving up, no matter what! I will concede to a dash of "poor me" but that's to be expected when you've never really gotten what you want, or think that you haven't. <br />**<br />So often we start out thinking that "this" is everything we have ever wanted, and as soon as it doesn't work out, jump ship and forget that we ever felt that way to begin with. Kudos to love's eternal flame!Chasing 10https://www.blogger.com/profile/16633787364517237871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-69998267783172259782011-12-14T02:06:27.463+00:002011-12-14T02:06:27.463+00:00And here I thought it was going to be James Brown&...And here I thought it was going to be James Brown's passionate begging for a lost love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-43350254315532019922011-12-14T02:02:21.491+00:002011-12-14T02:02:21.491+00:00I wanted to say something about how much that song...I wanted to say something about how much that song said about my experience..but the tone of the comments disauded me.the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-18863309648244605052011-12-14T00:55:27.437+00:002011-12-14T00:55:27.437+00:00Melancholy song - when 'the black dog' com...Melancholy song - when 'the black dog' comes I have to avoid such music or I wont leave the house for days!JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608216150220329902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-56348993968168451492011-12-14T00:12:06.906+00:002011-12-14T00:12:06.906+00:00Very good advertising dept there at John Lewis.
O...Very good advertising dept there at John Lewis.<br /><br />On the song however, I'd say to want what you have instead of wanting what you can't. Life is much easier that way.<br /><br />Isn't it wonderful how many of the comments can turn a sad song into something funny. It says something about this bunch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964941329127641280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-32885796913251435542011-12-13T23:26:38.639+00:002011-12-13T23:26:38.639+00:00I like a good sad song now and again, this is a go...I like a good sad song now and again, this is a good one! Had to look up John Lewis too...favorited them and will go back to check out their store! The advert was great...and no it didn't have a thing to do with what the song is about!
