Oh well, thanks to The Opposite, I have rediscovered two songs in my music collection. And they both capture the moment perfectly. I even found matching photos while browsing through deviantart.

Let me first tell you the songs -

One is November Rain by Guns N’ Roses. (Link to Youtube Video – November Rain)

Guns N’ Roses – November Rain

Image by VreauSaAjungLaStele

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We’ve been through this
Such a long long time
Just tryin’ to kill the pain
Yeahh..
But lovers always come
And lovers always go
And no one’s really sure
Who’s lettin’ go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time
On your own
Do you need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don’t you know you need some time
All alone

I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time
On my own
Sometimes I need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don’t you know you need some time
All alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there’s no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody

The other one is Dirty Girl (Link to youtube video – Dirty Girl). The most… honest song in my playlist. Read

Eels – Dirty Girl

I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Someone that i can believe
We had a window not open too long
But that time is good and gone

And if I ever see her again
Just walking by with some new guy
I know that we will need to pretend
And hope our eyes keep telling lies

Sit on the back porch and wonder ’bout her
What is she doing right now
Making somebody a happier man
Dying her hair back to brown

Once in a while your life gets so good
Worth all the trouble of the past
That was the case but i think i always knew
Good things don’t ever last

And if i ever see her again
Just walking by with some new guy
I know that we will need to pretend
And hope our eyes keep telling lies

I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Know that i can trust her
We had our time but it didn’t last too long
And that time is good and gone
That time is good and gone

Both songs are pretty straight and I echo the feelings in both. Its tough to let go of the people and things you thought you would be pretty attached to. But well… some things you cannot change. That reminds me of a quote from Polybius, which I saw in Rome: Total War (great game by the way) which says -

“A good general not only sees the way to victory, he also knows when victory is impossible.”

- Polybius

I do wish to see them again… But for now, we must part.

So be it.
