How do you make a start? ….. a start on something bittersweet….. I am conscious of the fact that this little project of mine is starting to have a very heavy, deep, dark undertone to it….. I could either choose to brighten it up or leave it be…. Actually I dont care what kind of theme or pattern it follows….. All I care about is the picture and the song that mean something to me…..
Coming back to the soundtrack….. I remember the theme was bittersweet…. well let me remind Euston(i.e. blogville) I am no music critic and my taste in music is just “Mine” not out there to be categorized…..for people who stay away from Home….. stay away from everything they have ever known all their life…moving from town to town……. Michael Buble- Home
This song defines home like no other (well at least for me) and I think this man is pure genius mixed with class.
Another summer day has come and gone away….. in Paris and Rome – he simply says “I wanna go home”
He explains how he has it all but yet he misses that one thing- Home…. he knows he is lucky and all…. “Let me go home” he says “I got to go home” , “I wanna come home” “Let me go home”
My favorite part … “And I feel just like am living someone elses life”.……… “It’s like I just stepped outside when everything was going right”
Another winter day has come and gone away ….even in Paris and Rome…..“But I wanna go home”
Why bittersweet? well people stay away all the time…but realising they miss home and that they want to come home….is a realization worth celebrating…..Like the return of the prodigal’s son…
“Am just too far from where you are”, “You deserve more than that”, these are words for family who endure the ordeal “I know why you could not come away with me, it was not your dream… but you always believed in me” …. the song blends regrets, considerations and realizations beautifully…..
“I’ve had my run, …. I’m done”
The hope in the end “It will all be alright, I’ll be Home tonight, I am coming back home”
Finally the picture, even with my ridiculously pseudo/amateur photographic skills (when I say amateur I am thinking skills of 6-10 yr olds with a camera) ….I think it came out beautifully. Standing outside the theatre where the musical – I sooo badly want to see is running, which happens to be the longest running musicals in the history of west end. I stood there rapt in awe…. The little girl reminded me of my sister and
……………at that moment I was absolutely blown away.
