Yes, this heartbreak song is from James Blunt, the English singer and songwriter whose breakout hit single is 'You're Beautiful'. Goodbye My Lover is the fourth single in his debut album ‘Back to Bedlam’, and he wrote it with Sacha Skarbek. The song was, oddly recorded at a bathroom in Carrie Fisher’s home.The words and piano loops on this music track give a truly heartrending poignancy about losing someone, an experience that most people have surely gone through at a point in their lives. James’ nasal falsetto in this track may sound distracting...

After Sputnik Sweetheart comes Norwegian Wood, a gift from H. And while Sputnik Sweetheart will always remind me of someone else, it's good to know I read By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept in between the two Murakamis.In my despair and loneliness, it's kinda surprising that I turn to literature for comfort and solace. What's more surprising is the fact that I find comfort in reading these books now. Well, I also watch Deathnote's complete animated...

Amidst the chaos and noise brought about by a world that is cruel, mean, and unkind, Florentino Ariza went by like a gentle breeze. And this, he said, as if sensing my hesitation, as if feeling my frustration...The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself....

Ah, H...I have never known anyone as enchanting, charming, and magical as you are, H. I am truly in awe. I am indeed enthralled by your magical splendor that I didn't mind standing in the cold of midnight, under the silvery light of the moon and the stars while I sing Andrea Bocelli's 'Someone Like You' to you... over the phone...And these words from the song I will always sing for you:In your eyes I seeA life that could mean so much moreWith you next to meAnd if time is cruelWell I won’t run and hideI could walk through fire with you by my sideCause...

I know my reading habit has been very poor this year. I've read a few novels and re-read some, but that's it.I was initially drawn to read Love in the Time of Cholera, but the book's small font and number of pages intimidated me so I settled for the movie version of Gabo's novel. But then, the movie's constipated poignancy made me feel lacking afterwards and so I turned to the book and now I'm reading it again.That made me feel like going back to...

If You Forget MeI want you to know one thingYou know how this isIf I look at the crystal moonat the red branch of the slow autumn at my windowIf I touch near the fire the impalpable ashor the wrinkled body of the log.Everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists:aromas, light, metals, or little boats that sail towardsthose isles of yours that wait for me.Well now, if little by little you stop loving me,I shall stop loving you, little by little.If suddenly you forget me, do not look for meFor I shall already have forgotten you.If you...
