For the last few days I've been listening Everglow sung by Coldplay. It is literally on repeat, I even heard it was played on a department store nearby my house hehe. I've heard it somewhere and it was catchy but I have never payed attention to the lyrics until this song was sung by EXO's Chanyeol on his noona's wedding day. And it was so touching, I mean.. check the song out (I will attached a Youtube link below).. the lyrics is so deep and it makes me miss my mom.
And below was the video when Chanyeol sang it for his noona. Super touching. I can't imagine if it was me (as his noona), I'd be crying heaps.
And here is the lyrics..
oh they say people come, say people go
this particular diamond was extra special
and though you might be gone, and the world may not know
still I see you, celestial
this particular diamond was extra special
and though you might be gone, and the world may not know
still I see you, celestial
like a lion you ran, a goddess you rolled
like an eagle you circled, in perfect purple
so how come things move on, how come cars don’t slow
when it feels like the end of my world
when I should but I can’t let you go?
like an eagle you circled, in perfect purple
so how come things move on, how come cars don’t slow
when it feels like the end of my world
when I should but I can’t let you go?
but when I’m cold, cold
oh when I’m cold, cold
there’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow
there’s a feeling you give me, an everglow
oh when I’m cold, cold
there’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow
there’s a feeling you give me, an everglow
like brothers in blood, sisters who ride
and we swore on that night we’d be friends til we die
but the changing of winds, and the way waters flow
life as short as the falling of snow
and now I’m gonna miss you I know
and we swore on that night we’d be friends til we die
but the changing of winds, and the way waters flow
life as short as the falling of snow
and now I’m gonna miss you I know
but when I’m cold, cold
in water rolled, salt
I know that you’re with me and the way you will show
and you’re with me wherever I go
and you give me this feeling this everglow
in water rolled, salt
I know that you’re with me and the way you will show
and you’re with me wherever I go
and you give me this feeling this everglow
oh- I I I I
what I wouldn’t give for just a moment to hold
yeah I live for this feeling this everglow
what I wouldn’t give for just a moment to hold
yeah I live for this feeling this everglow
so if you love someone, you should let them know
oh the light that you left me will everglow
oh the light that you left me will everglow
I highlighted some parts that really hit me. Life is indeed as short as the falling of snow. So if you love someone, you should let them know. Don't ever miss the chance or you'll regret your whole life and you can never turn back the time.
Mama, I've been missing you since the day you left. I am missing you now and I will miss you always and forever ~
