I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold

I found a sample of this song's video on the 'official overseas' site for Savage Garden. And then went chasing lyrics down, to be sure I was really hearing what my ears/brain where passing on to me. And it may well be the prettiest song I've heard in a long time, even surpassing the Evanescence material that I like so well. Regardless of the value of the other tracks on the Affirmation album, it goes on my must have list.

Given that it's been quite a while since an entire post was inspired by a song, that should say something.

Wow.

*nods* My father is, and since his mid teens has been, an active musician. It's not his primary income, but it's been one of the foundation stones for his life. Had it not been for music, I would never have finished high school; frustration with myself, the school administration, and braindead classmates had nearly destroyed me... but band seemed to fix that. Music flows in my veins (along with the chemical stew I use for blood); this kind of piece strikes hard and deep.

*smooch*
