José González: "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (Joy Division cover)





two in one special is back!
a little valentine's day present
from freelurving to you.


...

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low.

And resentment rides high

But emotions won't grow.
And we're changing our ways

Taking different roads.


Then love, love will tear us apart again.

Love, love will tear us apart again.


Why is the bedroom so cold

Turned away on your side?

Is my timing that flawed

Every feeling run so dry?

Yet there's still this appeal
that
we've kept through our lives.


And love, love will tear us apart again.

Love, love will tear us apart again.


Do you cry out in your sleep,

All my failings expose?

Gets a taste in my mouth

As desperation takes hold.

Why is it something so good

Just can't function no more?

And Love, love will tear us apart again.

Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again...

...

something very catchy about
other side of the bed references.
especially when it's cold.
everyone is always talking about it.
i know i've spent nights crying
about it, days complaining
about it...

i cried so many times for you that sometimes
my brother
and my dad would ask me why
we were even together. for a long time,
a four and a half year time,
and then some,
it was because
i really just couldn't help
how much i loved you. no matter what
you did, mostly what you didn't do,
i couldn't
stop. many of my tears
fell on the nights
i found myself alone,
wondering why you weren't
there next to me.
i don't cry about you anymore
though,
and i think we are both happy
where we are now.

i'd say this is an ideal, repeatable
break(ing)up song. one you can wallow
in, one you can get your point across with,
one you can rock out to
once you've come to
terms with
it all. whatever works for you.
