The Rose

The song that you hear playing in the background is actually my favorite song of all time... The original singer of this song is actually Better Midler but then i cannot find her version so this Westlife version can just do it for me...

Here is the lyrics for the song in case some of you wanna sing along this romantic song... :P

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you it’s only seed

It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in winter far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed
That with the sun’s loves
In the spring
Becomes the rose

I fell in love with this song when i first heard it over the radio. I can say that i find all way and means to get the song and the original singer including emails, sms and even phone call before i get the title and the singer. But then it was a upscale task to go comb the CD shop for the song until one day i hear it again in HMV...

Turn out that this song is also used in one of the Taiwan Series soundtrack called 蔷薇之恋. Immediately get the sales staff to get the soundtrack for me but then No Stock. *Faintz*... End up buying the whole Taiwan Series... Luckily the series was not that bad at all...

To me, the lyric of this song is very meaningful...

My interpretation is in such

"Love is for everyone but yet sometime, we are just too afraid to love because we are afraid of getting hurt... Love is like a seed, you need to plant it, water it, nourish it before it can blossom into something beautiful... Nobody say love is going to be easy and simple... it is the complexity of the individual human being that make Love interesting... What will life be like if everyone react the same to love? You learn from each phase of your life to be better for the person in your life... You learn to adapt, you learn to accept, you learn everything through the process... There is no dummy for love, just need to reach inside you because you are born out of love..."

Hope you enjoy this song as much as i do....

Love, Gerald
