A bottle to the sea for this love of my youth, this woman for whom I felt such strong feelings, it ended without us really being able to explain. I'm going to explain myself here as if one fine day she'll come across this comment and read it, but also so that my heart can unburden itself so that I can finally move on for lack of ever having the opportunity to speak with her. I heard a bit of this song in a video and it made me think of you straight away without me understanding the words with my ever so jerky English haha (this comment is translated from French) and here I am in her comments. I thought this was the best place to finally put into words how I feel about our ruined history because telling you would probably be out of place but if you inadvertently stumble across this comment, we can say it's fate and you'll never even know for sure it's me. I have to do it, I have to write it because not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of you at least once since our last contact 4 years ago. We were so young and innocent but the feelings were so damn powerful I've never felt that way again. I look at how you've evolved and I'm really proud of you, proud of the woman you've become. It's with you that I want to travel the world, see the most beautiful landscapes, eat the best food... but all that is just a memory that never existed. You know the irony here? I'm writing this completely sober, the fact is that I should have been sober throughout our relationship and certainly not now. There was only one moment when I was able to forget about you and no longer think about you and that was when I changed my daily actions and became the same person I was before, but no longer high. Everything that was part of my old life was forgotten, including you. You'd got into the habit of coming back to see my stories every summer even though you'd deleted me. That year, when I'd completely moved on and you were in a relationship, you came back to see my stories in the middle of years that had nothing to do with summer. From then on I never forgot you, checking each story to see if you'd come to see it or not to validate the fact that you weren't moving on either. That was indeed the case, you often came back to take a look. 3 months later I sent you a message to show you that I'd seen your success and you immediately blocked me. Of course I understand that it could be taken as if I wanted to take advantage of your success but the truth is that in 4 years I've hardly ever stopped thinking about you. A love that was much too strong for 2 young people, a love that overflowed so much energy it was strong. Our love consumed our story before we could even make it a reality. I love you but I have to stop loving you. Finally, I want you to remember that we were too young to put that immense love into practice, but that now my adult brain still hasn't forgotten you and remembers every cute way you used to treat me. My sweet and dear ...... (If you see this comment one fine day, it's because it's destiny that our souls should be reunited, and no matter what situation I find myself in at the time, I'll come back to join my soulmate)
Lyrics I saw you and you smiled With the light in your eyes And I swear I heard music start to play I couldn't find the words to say And you took my breath away Love changes everything Like winter becomes the spring And everything is new again Love changes everything I took your hand and we danced As if no one else was there And I hoped That the night would never end, oh, no Time ceased to exist When I kissed your lips Love changes everything A feelin' only you could bring And this is like something From a dream Love changes everything It makes your spirit soar Yeah, it makes your heart sing You know that love changes everything Not lonely anymore I know what living's for Yeah Oh, I still can't believe it's true That I found someone like you Love changes everything Like winter becomes the spring, baby And everything is new again Oh, yeah Love changes everything This is what you've given me Oh, love changes everything Darling, your love changes everything
I bought my first copy of Hometown from Gaslight Records in Bourke Street Melbourne, Australia in June 1994. I bought another copy from Waterloo Music in Austin Texas on 17 April 2001. Still both in good condition. Great music. I see a comment below that Aven is actually Dick Aven and is still putting out music, which really good.
I remember listening to this my sophomore of high school when I came out as trans my parents didn’t understood my situation and I wanted to be me I was bullied at school and I felt slightly alone but I had friends help me blossom to the person but listening to this reminds me where I was and how far I came in my transition I went from socially transitioning to legally to now.. starting HRT.
I was a teenager, now I'm an adult and still keep coming back here. Sometimes I think that there's nothing wrong with the world, it's just me who's wicked
