Currently Listening Music & Lyrics By Various Artists Way back into love see related

I've just watched such a booooooootiful movie. I watched it with my darling friend Cher, who I don't see nearly enough as I should, but whenever I do I always have such a lovely time with. Great friends always manage to pick up where they left off (*inspiration from Kev Stallion), and Cher and I seem to be quite adept at doing this.

This is us at our 11th Grade Matric Dance (aka the Proms). As you can see, we matched outfits. And although this photo seems recent to me, it was actually taken 6 years ago.

Anyway, the filamus...

I say booooootiful because a) it is the theme of this post and b) the movie was boooooootiful. Not in a beautiful way, but in an oh-so-cute-and-shmoooozy way. See, neh?

The movie was Music and Lyrics starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. I have always loved Hugh Grant in any movie he has done. He has generally always played very likeable characters, and he has always played his parts with characteristic wit and charm, that not only charm many people around the world, but that also charms me! And that smile... gawsh.

Drew Barrymore and Hugh thinking up a song to sing. The music, she said, is like the passion in a relationship; the lyrics, is like the real shiz.

In this movie, he was particularly charming because he sang - and you all know how much singing makes me happy inside. And so I hereby post lyrics to the song one will hopefully find embedded into this post (which it DIDN'T, but anyway...). I absolutely love this song.

Way back into Love
Sung by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennet

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

I think it is just boooooootiful, and as I sing it with my tone-deaf gusto, I get all lovestruck and look up to the stars that refuse to shine whilst waiting for that something for my soul...

OK, maybe not realllly, but I sing it and I think that it's just booootiful.

Goodnight.
