Assignment #7: English Song


Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter



And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time

And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time

And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...

My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new


My Comments: 
This is one of my favorite songs.
At first, I heard this song from Super Star Avenue.
Because Anthony Neely's voice so charming that I love this song.

The Anthony's version

However, the version of the original singer is very classic which let me feel sad.
Throughing his voice could feel the complex emotional repression.
Really like the paragraph:
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

Then the repeated sentence—— I can't take my eyes off you which expressed a deep sense of love.
And the last sentence—— 'Til I find somebody new that it sounded like muttering which made people sorrowful.
This song is very beautiful and the lyrics is understandable.

This song is also the movie Closer's theme song.
