Shortly before my wife died, too young, ten years ago, she dedicated this song to me. I wouldn't, couldn't listen to it. I first listened to it yesterday. She died of bone marrow cancer.
It's weird and magical how some songs feel so different after a certain period of time. And it's equally frustrating and satisfying that you must go through a lot to discover the truth of those songs. Thank you Dido, I can now see what you meant back then.
@@NicksMovieMix of course that has always been the meaning. But, we once sang it as teenagers, believing we can really relate to the lyrics which couldn't be true. You have to grow older, build and destroy relationships, have your heart broken, to be in a better position to appreciate the deeper meaning. And when we meet Which I'm sure we will All that was there Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on Only then, you can see what white flag really means.
I know she must get tired of singing this song, but I'm so glad she keeps singing it. Every time I listen, I'm amazed like I'm hearing it for the first time.
Lyrics : I know you think that I shouldn't still love you Or tell you that But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it Where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess and Destruction to come back again And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of it's over Then I'm sure that that makes sense I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet Which I'm sure we will All that was there Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on.... I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be
You missed a few lines starting with: All.. that was there, will be there still I'll let it pass and hold my tongue and you will think that I've moved on
I'm a rock music guy but this song has become one of my favorites. Love the lyrics and cord progressions. The texture of Dido's voice and her accent is what seals the deal. 10
I remember years ago... My father and mother were in kitchen. I was like 12. This song in radio. My father hug My mum saing "I love you" while she was cooking. Now its 2019 Im 28. I crying listening to this. They are divorced. I living 900 miles from My hometown. I miss you both from years... I love you mum. I love you father. Thank You Dido for every song you made! Edit: Due to all this talk in comments. And 1000 likes. Thank you for warm words. Now Im grown person. I have own familly and kids. We all are happy. My parents divorced after 24 years of mariage. For them was still not to late. My mum have another man now. My father another woman. They are happy. So Im happy now as they do. Still is painful for Me that I saw after years of good life at home (My parents were happy many years together before breakup) how familly after years just tearing aparat. It will be always painful for Me as Im their son. But we all always have to learn from past to not make same mistakes or mistakes of others. On second side I see on My parents example that is never too late to find love and make familly. ☺️ Every stick have two sides. From here I wish you all happines and much love. And remember: all of us. All people are beuatiful and real beauty is inside ☺️☺️
Why don't you ask them to meet again just one more time because of you because if great old days Life is short it doesn't deserve all this pain Just try it it's maby Open old dusty closed doors .................!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Man you made me cry ( no sarcasm). My parents didn't devorce. They have a horrible relationship. I remember when they loved each other. I wish I was 26 and felt melancholic about them being in love with each other. I'm forty and have to watch them be miserable.
I totally agree. She's always been an incredibly beautiful woman if I may say so. She is truly talented and I have always enjoyed her voice. A great version of an amazing song.
I remember this song playing on the radio when i was like 13-15 years old. I'm 23 now and it's amazing how a song can bring back so many memories. Thank you for coming back.
MANN!! I'm in love with this woman and her voice, it shines through more in this acoustic version! She's aged like a piece of art and her value becomes more apparent with each passing day.
Lol it's called having money and no chronic stress. Ageing isn't the same as bring ugly. Chronic stresses like working hard every day, every week of your adult life, having unprocessed trauma, having access to nutrition and healthcare. These things make people attractive. Being adjusted to life makes you attractive, because it means you can take care of your body.
*"And when we meet, which I'm sure we will* *All that was there will be there still* *I'll let it pass and hold my tongue* *And you will think that I've moved on"* Still hits me like it did 15 years ago. Beautiful.
It happen to me, we dated for almost twelve years, we weren´t bad together, but wanted different things and we fail in communicate, the last time I saw her I had to smile and pretend, she was with her new boyfriend, less than a year of our breakup...It was a tough test and I´m glad I passed it, I will always wish her the best.
when i was a kid i used to hope, when i grew up i would meet this singer and say i love you. But after I grew up, I finally understood that my imagination as a child was too high, it's really cute when I can remember that 😂 hope you always healthy dido, my warm greetings from Indonesia 🙏.
I've said it for years, and it's still true today, "Damn! That woman can sing!" Acoustic performance tells the tale, no BS Autotune here, just genuine vocal perfection. 👍😁💖
Still a beautiful song. It has a deep meaning. No shaking a***s, no violence just a beautiful voice and the lyrics talking about a peaceful monologue putting positive vibes and in the end : I'm in love and always will be it is the most important part. Share LOVE and heal the world.
A couple of years ago, in one of my regular insomnia episodes, I put Dido on to sleep to. Most of my exposure to her was via Roswell, but I just loved the sound of her voice, so soothing even when the lyrics were heart wrenching. I am still falling asleep with her most nights and hope to someday see her live.
many years passed and didos voice still moves my heart as it always be… if not stronger… thank you dido… thank you for let me know what a brilliant song is…
I remember hearing this as a child and its seriously one of the most beautiful songs ever. I dont remember where i heard it probably just in shopping centres where i heard most o fmy music when i was little. It is the most bittersweet song ive ever heard.
I remember this song playing on the Rugrats movie when I was a child and it making me cry even though I had no idea what the song was about. Years later and it still touches the depths of my soul.
Well I just looked up the Rugrats scene and it was a completely different scene.. my mind is blown. I guess it’s the Mandela effect because I distinctly remember that’s where I first heard the song. Either way. Amazing as always
I was in high school when this art came out. I remember it was my first year learning English. I had no easy way to detect the lyrics so I was jst repeating after Dido. I loved her song and I wanna let her know she played a huge role in me learning English and becoming the high school English teacher I am today. Greetings from Morocco❤❤❤
Lol...I thought I'm the only Moroccan man who listened to dido . & we are in the same age because I was in high school when this song come out (Mazzika,Melody,MTV Arabia 😉)
Soy La Soñadora He was saying Dido to him is what Adele is to people today. Saying Adele is more popular than her now. Not an insult, just an observation. Dido is better though.
Te escuche cuando apenas tenia 12 años y me impacto tanto tu forma de cantar ..... aprendí a ser fuerte y hasta ahora te sigo escuchando y recuerdo que afortunado e sido de escuchar tu canción que me motiva .. 🎶
20 years ago my brother put this song on our radio before we went to sleep, i have no idea what it means but it gave me the calm feeling before i closed my eyes. thanks for bringing me back to my childhood.
