Beautiful Things



I first heard this track on a 2004 Two Tribes album mixed by Sean Quinn. My best friend sent me the album and a letter via snail mail and specifically told me to listen to the lyrics. And still to this day, it is one of my favorite tracks. I can't help but think of us.

It was an incredible friendship that developed almost instantly. We had a bond that seemed too good to be true. We were inseparable and shared almost every emotion and moment. We danced with jealousy and frustration on a weekly basis. A fascination with a new world that lead to a cruel fixation.

It was an unselfish dedication that lead to many adventures and even more complications. A love like no other. But while he continued to love the same gender, i held on to a dying love that ventured to the other side of the world and was left on the rocks.

It was only when it was all over, did we realise...

Andain - Beautiful Things (Gabriel & Dresden Remix)

Got up early, found something's missing
My only name.
No one else sees but I got stuck,
And soon forever came.
Stopped pushing on for just a second,
Then nothing's changed.
Who am I this time, where's my name?
I guess it crept away.

No one's calling for me at the door.
And unpredictable won't bother anymore.
And silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

I forgot that I might see,
So many beautful things.
I forgot that i might need,
To find out what life could bring.

Take this happy ending away, it's all the same.
God won't waste this simplicity on possibility.
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
This trace of blame.
Frozen still I thought I could stop,
Now who's gonna wait.

No one's calling for me at the door.
And unpredictable won't bother anymore.
And silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

Now what do I do?
Can I change my mind?
Did I think things through?

It was once my life
It was my life at one time.
