I am in love with a song…well, not just the song, the whole production of this single. I love the beat, the incredible beat. I even love the video. I think it’s perfect. This is not a song that needs bells and whistles in the video…they kept it poignantly simple.

I love it even though I have not been in that situation – the situation the lyrics seem to hint at. But when I feel even a little bit sad, and I want to listen to some music that matches my mood…(and at times I want to listen to something sultry and mournful)…and this is at the top of my list for misty eyed music at the moment.

I should probably save this for one of those lyrical challenges, but I have been listening to it while doing my house-work and I love love love the beat. Even though I cannot really relate to the kind of relationship the lyrics describe…I am still walking round singing the verses.

You and I bloodlines
We come together every time
Two wrongs, no rights
We lose ourselves at night

From the outside, from the outside
Everyone must be wondering why we try
Why do we try

Maybe in our wildest moments
We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest
Maybe in our wildest moments
We could be the worst of all
Maybe in our wildest moments
We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest
Maybe in our wildest moments
We could be the worst of all

Wait on, thunder sky
Wherever there’s smoke, there’ll soon be fire
What could bring bad luck
I’ve been looking at you too much

From the outside, from the outside
Everyone must be wondering why we try
Why do we try

In the middle of it
We walk, the line
Looking back I miss it
Our wildest moments
Are you thinking what if
What if we ruined it all
My wrecking ball

From the outside, from the outside
Everyone must be wondering why we try
Why do we try
