it’s not that...

it's not that i am scared that i have low self-esteem... it's that i'm perfectly content with who i am... and it really, really, really scares me...

i’ve been away too long...

it's true... but the song of the week is back... by no damage at all dear blog readers...

electronica... trance... house... europop... my dirty little secret... i love that stuff... not that i would set foot in a club to hear it mixed... oh, no... but still it's the shit... seriously... the pulse sending a sonic signal through your head... your body... your soul... transcendentalism at it's best... spiritual... emotional... and down right weird... and of course it is best experienced completely pissed away... which is where i first heard this song of the week... armin van buuren featuring racoon... the track is called 'love you more.'

if you don't let this lazy river of a song float the leaf you are sitting on too far down the stream, then you could just possibly hear the lyrics...

clouds above go sailing by i found my meaning in this life clear white is flying in my eyes, underneath a blue, blue sky the waves come rolling in with the tide. i've been away too long and everyday i missed you more. you look like you did before only prettier. everyday i love you more. all the people rushing by, by, by looking for meaning in this life so used up, and blinded by lies, they're underneath the blue, blue sky the way they seldom seem to smile i don't know why. 'cause i've been away too long and everyday i missed you more. you look like you did before, only prettier. everyday i love you more. i love you more, everday i love you more, and more. 'cause i've been away too long and everyday i missed you more. you look like you did before, only prettier. and everyday i missed you more, and more and more and more and more. i've been away too long and everyday I missed you more oh you look like you did before only prettier everyday i love you more. i love you more. everyday i love you more.

so, the thing about this song i noticed after playing the thing for the 500th time because i could barely hear what the man was signing over the beat... it's about love... wow! would have picked up on that one eventually... hence the name, eh?

seriously, though... the song (as does the video) seems to imply a relationship between a man and woman... amore... but i wonder if the song isn't just about the love for a country... the forgotten son that went to war and is returning back to his homeland for the first time in many years... but either way, you can really hear the longing... the want... the need... the passion behind the song...

by the way, racoon is supposedly hollands biggest folk act... any chance paul gross or dar williams can get in on that action?

that is all...
