The Heart Of The Matter - India Arie
(originally by Don Henley)



I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
[ The Heart Of The Matter lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore

Forgiveness - one of the hardest word i know, at least for me >.<

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
                                                                                             - Mahatma Ghandhi

Not only important to forgive your enemies, most importantly, yourself. Honestly, its the only way to move on, or in other words, let go - mistakes made in examinations, disappointments in yourself/parents, failure in relationships...
*grin* - spoken like a philosophist 'ay? *lol!*
hey, i have experience man :p its easy to forget, but it freaking hard to forgive - especially yourself. That's why i totally heart this song!
Apart from this wonderful "soul-warming" and "inspiring" song, i absolutely love india arie! :D you go girl! She has another song called " Wings of forgiveness" but I like this song better :p



Don't she look like one fine strong woman? :D

anyway, on the other hand, its "EARTH" MONTH! so start using those tumblers and tiffin carriers! i'm a very strong supporter of tiffin carriers - which my housemates thinks highly wierdly of me. hey! If everyday, you use a tiffin carrier to "ta pao" your food, you save using one "extremely-NOT-earth-friendly-polystyrene-container"! which if everyone starts practising it, our kids will be able to live earth the way we're living it now >.< a bit too far-fetched i think. haha. oh yeah, do not take plastic bag when you don't need to, just stuff them into your bags! (of course, unless your bag is mouldy or smth - i don't know, anything can happen right? :p) its ok to reject plastic bags! honestly, its a very good favour of the earth :D

erm, that whole paragraph above is to explain my greenish blog - with is much dislike to my pinkaholic-ness. haha! sorry green lovers >.<




oh, i forgot to mention, i actually got the song "heart of the matter" from sex and the city trailer :p i can't wait for that movie!


 

gawd, i love youtube! thanks to ktshipp for the vid :)
