Closer/Stranger

Loved this song, The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice.. its a beautiful song.. packed with so much emotions and grips your heart.. its the theme song in the movie CLOSER a couple of years back..watched the movie that time and it's a controversial but thoughts evoking movie..

Closer's got one of the best movie opening scenes.. 2 strangers walking in opposite directions.. no crossing of paths until the girl (Natalie Portman) gets knocked down by car.. the guy (Jude Law) rushed over.."hello stranger" she said.. from that simple line, the lives of 2 strangers (dragging along another 2,played by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen) get entangled and leave indelible marks in their lives..falling in and out of love and causing hurt to each other, even to oneself without knowing..

The reality of human relations changes as quickly as it could hv started..in a blink of an eye a stranger can be the one whom u get closer and closer..but the closer it is, the stranger it might become..the things you want to love and be close to.. are they really what they are? but if you don't get closer to them.. how would you know they aren't?

Hello Stranger.. hello to heartbreak or intimacy? there's always a decision to make ~~

Adapted by Patrick Marber from his award-winning stage play.

THE BLOWER'S DAUGHTER BY DAMIEN RICE :
and so it is
just like you said it would be
life goes easy on me
most of the time
and so it is
the shorter story
no love no glory
no hero in her skies
i can't take my eyes off of you
and so it is
just like you said it should be
we'll both forget the breeze
most of the time
and so it is
the colder water
the blower's daughter
the pupil in denial
i can't take my eyes off of you
did i say that i loathe you?
did i say that i want to
leave it all behind?
i can't take my mind off of you
my mind
'til i find somebody new
