so relatable so passionate.Īnd god, what a simple and gorgeous little scene that comes next? hand rubbing, candy bar eating, kissing in the snowfall and moonlight. she (he? though he directly addresses her, it seems like he could just as easily be talking to himself) KNOWS the secret, KNOWS that it's good, but just can't goddamn overcome her internal conflict, her struggle with what she DOESN'T KNOW - how it will all work out. probably a lot more than a fresh and faux-platonic acquaintanceship.Ĭan't bypass the chorus without saying how much i loooove the tension between the certain and uncertain here. am i crazy? definitely "fucks with your honor and teases your head." the fact that these consequences exist certainly implies that a lot is on the line with the recent romantic revelations. will my love be reciprocated? am i lying by being with this person and not acknowledging the way i truly feel about them?.
In the first chorus, "the secret" has to be romantic feelings hidden for fear of unknown consequences. again, hard to tell whether these impressions have come strong and fast, or have built over time. initially, however, it confirms his mutual understanding of himself or perhaps of her. His agreement, "I know it well," of course changes in meaning throughout the song. either a testament to the strength of their 'love at first sight,' or proof of how well they know each other? but then again, she recognizes his blood, knows his very essence, right away. after all, the song begins with their meeting. My initial thought is that this is a new encounter. I wonder, though, what stage is this relationship in? the most unbelievable, life altering, and breathe taking moments so often take place when you least expect them, in places as regular as blood banks and car seats. love, like the present, sneaks up on you quickly. This song so beautifully and succinctly captures that same concept. things only become plausible, legitimate, ordinary as we move away and the present becomes past.Īin't this just like justin vernon to be showing up salman rushdie?
he claims that they closer that we are to the present, the more incredible it is.
In midnight's children, a novel by salman rushdie, the narrator explains that reality is a matter of perception. don't let the literary references fool you. General Commenti'm about to get super sappy and fangirly. You said "ain't this just like the present Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
