So I just listened more closely to the words. I tend to focus on the melody of songs and ignore the words, particularly if it's a song I grew up with.

"Something so strong could carry us away." That is both an exhilarating and yet terrifying idea. It's everything I feel about love in a single statement. Usually the terror beats out the exhilaration and I just want to go hide under my covers. 😂

@ShadowSister Frontman Neil Finn was in the group Split Enz as well. More recently he has been in the Fleetwood Mac line up. Great song writer. He hails from a lil town called Te Awamutu in the Waikato that is also famous for growing Roses of all things. His older brother Tim is also a great talent. Crowded House and Split Enz are both favourite groups of mine.

Something So Strong

Love can make you weep
Can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep
Bring life to frozen ground

Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today

Turning in my sleep
Love can leave you cold
A taste of jealousy
Is like a lust for gold

Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today

I've been
Feeling so much older
Frame me
And hang me on the wall
I've seen
You fall into the same trap
This thing
Is happening to us all, yeah

Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today

Something so strong
Something so strong
Something so strong
Something, something so strong
