(You're) the Other Side of the World

Well I did told you about this as my all-time favorite song in my previous entry. This song has never left me throughout my music players evolution since 2005. Never grew bored of it.

So here it is KT Tunstall's 'Other Side of The World'. I love this song so much to an extend of making it a theme song of my life. It hits me at a right place, my heart. Gave me a renewed feeling and all the same chills everytime and shook me bone deep. It wasn't just a music or a vocal, it's the lyric that gets to me everytime.

Just what do I love about this song? It was written in a man point of view though sang by a female. Other Side of The World can be seen in three different perspectives for me.

First, video clip wise, it is about a man who have not yet find the right one for him. He might have dated several beautiful girls but couldn't find any connection with anyone of them. The one that is destined for him can be someone he haven't even met yet, living her life wondering the same about a right man for her. Both of them carry a same notion that "He/she is out there, one day we will finally met,"

They might have cross path somewhere along their life feeling an awkward unexplainable sensation in their gut everytime they passed each other. Looking around wondering, "Who could possibly did this to me? Who makes me feel this way?"

Second, lyric wise, it is about a break-up or separation that has not reach closure. Both parties still harboring feeling for each other. Whatever they do, they'll wonder "What could she/he be doing right now?" "What would she/he think about this if she/he was here?" knowing there will always be a void and hollow in their heart ever since. No matter how hard they try, still they haven't completely move on. Expecting one day they will see each other again. Re-discovering their love.

Third (a supplementary to the second perspective). They are on a time-off. Both are free to date whoever they want. To see if destiny will finally bring them back together again. The phrase 'other side of the world' can also means that their behavior, personality, way of thinking are totally different and contradicting each other. They are working against all odd to keep it together but the harder they tried, the more they realized it is not worth it and giving up is the only way. Above it all, still love is a fine fragile thread that connect them to each other.

Enjoy the song...

Over the sea and far away

She's waiting like an Iceberg

Waiting to change,

But she's cold inside

She wants to be like

the water,

All the muscles tighten in her face

Buries her soul in one embrace

They're one and the same

Just like water

Then the fire fades away

But most of everyday

Is full of tired excuses

But it's too hard to say

I wish it were simple

But we give up easily

You're close enough to see that

You're.... the other side of the world

to me

On comes the panic light

Holding on with fingers

and feelings alike

But the time has come

To move along

Then the fire fades away

But most of everyday

Is full of tired excuses

But it's too hard to say

I wish it were simple

But we give up easily

You're close enough to see that

You're.... the other side of the world

Can you help me?

Can you let me go

And can you still love me

When you can't see me anymore

Then the fire fades away

most of everyday

Is full of tired excuses

But it's too hard to say

I wish it were simple

But we give up easily

You're close enough to see that

You're.... the other side of the world

Ohh.... the other side of the world

You're.... the other side of the world

To me.
