Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: DEATH/DESTRUCTION/PESTILENCE/FAMINE
What a nice cheery subject. I have to say, while searching for a song to fit this weeks words…I was amazed at how many terrible songs I came across.
I have picked a song that I recognized from tannoy systems in the local shops, so presumably it was somewhat popular. It has a great tune, but the lyrics are….well….nothing to get excited about. Still, there were some dreadful songs I could have picked instead, so I decided to go for the most upbeat. This is The Weeknd, and I know I have liked some other tracks by The Weeknd. The song has the distinguished title “Can’t Feel My Face”.
I just want to add…if you have a fear of fire – DO NOT WATCH THE WHOLE OF THIS VIDEO. As it happens, I do have a fear – I won’t have candles in my nest and I turn off all the electric switches when I am out because there were so many house fires in the town I grew up in (plus every primary school in the town was burnt down during my childhood). The latter part of this video did disturb me.
And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young This I know, (yeah) this I know She told me, "Don't worry about it" She told me, "Don't worry no more" We both knew we can't go without it She told me, "You'll never be alone" I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love Yes, I know (yes, I know), girl, I know She told me, "Don't worry about it" She told me, "Don't worry no more" We both knew we can't go without it She told me, "You'll never be alone" I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh She told me, "Don't worry about it" She told me, "Don't worry no more" We both know we can't go without it She told me, "You'll never be alone" Whoa I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh Written by: Abel Tesfaye and Max Martin
