De Beste Liefdesliedjes Ooit / The Best Love Songs Ever

Realiteit / Reality Fantasie / Fantasy
Tal Bachman: She's So High

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's going to happen, yeah

'Cause she's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
Da da-da da da
She's so high
High above me

First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything
What could a guy like me
Ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be
Why should I even bother?

'Cause she's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
Da da-da da da
She's so high
High above me

She calls to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal
'Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's going to happen, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause she's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite, oh yeah
She's so high
High above me
James Blunt: You're Beautiful

My life is brilliant

My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you

Yes, she caught my eye
As we walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
Fucking high
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you

La, la-la, la-la
La, la-la, la-la
La, la-la, la-la, la

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you
But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you

Chris Isaak: Wicked Game

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you

And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (with you)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one

Boston: More Than a Feeling

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away
Divinyls: I Touch Myself

I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself, I want you to find me
I forget myself, I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ah-ah-oh, I don't want anybody else
Oh-no, oh-no, oh-no

You're the one who makes me come runnin'
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughin'
I wanna make you mine

I close my eyes and see you before me
Think I would die if you were to ignore me
A fool could see just how much I adore you
I'd get down on my knees, I'd do anything for you

'Cause I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ah-ah-oh, I don't want anybody else
Oh-no, oh-no, oh-no, yeah

I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself, I want you to find me
I forget myself, I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ah-ah-oh, I don't want anybody else
Oh-no, oh-no, oh-no

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ah-ah-oh, I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself, I touch myself

I touch myself, I touch myself
(When I think about you) I touch myself, I touch myself
(I don't want anybody else) I touch myself, I touch myself
(When I think about you I touch myself) I honestly do, I touch myself
(I don't want anybody else) I touch myself, I touch myself
(When I think about you I touch myself) I honestly do, I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself

Jennifer Rush: The Power of Love

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

Ooh The power of love
The power of love
Belinda Carlisle: Heaven is a Place on Earth

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
They say in Heaven, love comes first
We'll make Heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

When the night falls down
I wait for you, and you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids on the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close, and we start to move
And we're spinnin' with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
They say in Heaven, love comes first
We'll make Heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you, and you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice, and it carries me

In this world, we're just beginnin'
To understand the miracle of livin'
Baby, I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
They say in Heaven, love comes first
We'll make Heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

Heaven

Heaven

Heaven

In this world we're just beginnin'
To understand the miracle of livin'
Baby, I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Heaven
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
They say in Heaven, love comes first
We'll make Heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

Susanna Hoffs: Feel Like Makin' Love

Baby, when I think about you
I think about love
Darlin', don't live without you
And your love
If I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you in the heaven
'Til I'm dyin' on the way

Feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

Baby, if I think about you
I think about love
Darlin', if I live without you
I live without love
If I had the sun and moon
And they were shinin'
I would give you both night and day
Of satisfyin'

Feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

And if I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you in the heaven
'Til I'm dyin' on the way

Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

Mijn Liefdesleven / My Lovelive

En hoe zat het in de praktijk? Wat gebeurde er allemaal? Niet veel. En wat er precies was zal ik nooit zeggen. Daar ben ik te verlegen voor.

Men kan wel een theoretisch Venn-diagram maken met een cirkel van 'verliefd op' en 'misschien verliefd op mij', met daarin een overlap dus.

And what about that all in practice? What all happened in actuality? Not much. And I'll never say exactly what it was. I'm too shy for that.

Concluderend / Concluding

"She's So High" is eigenlijk maar de mooie officiële smoes om alleen te zijn.
Officieuze smoezen zijn divers: Ego, autisme, luiheid, verwendheid, dysmorfofobie en neurofibromatose type 1.
De waarheid is dat ik in een permanente relatie ben met wat ik een abstractie zou noemen. En haar naam is "Solitair Libertas". Met andere woorden: het alleen zijn brengt mij een zoete vrijheid. Een vrijheid die ik naar alle waarschijnlijkheid nooit zal opgegeven.
Heb ik (nog steeds) romantische gevoelens tegenover vrouwen? Ja. Zal dat mijn leven ooit veranderen? Zeer waarschijnlijk niet. Ik geniet te veel van de Vrijheid.

"She's So High" is really only the pretty official excuse for being alone.
Unofficial excuses are diverse: Ego, autism, laziness, spoiledness, dysmorphophobia, and neurofibromatosis type I.
The truth is that I am in a permanent relationship with what I would call an abstraction. And her name is " Solitair Libertas." In other words, being alone brings me a sweet freedom. A freedom that, in all likelihood, I will never give up.
Do I (still) have romantic feelings towards women? Yes. Will that ever change my life? Most likely not. I enjoy Freedom too much.

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Freebird

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
The Lord knows I can't change

Bye-bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah, yeah
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it so badly
'Cause the Lord knows I'm to blame

But if I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
The Lord knows I can't change
Lord, help me, I can't change

Lord, I can't change
Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah
