Love Hurts

This Incubus song didn’t make it to Asia but its one of my favourite song. It’s a very simple song about love, yet profound and intense with emotionally charged melodies. There is hollowness in the music that is almost haunting. But I guess its no surprise considering all Incubus lyrics are so insightful that it naturally forces you to contemplate.

The song is about the idea of love, to find love and having it be pure, and not be tainted by your misperceptions, misconceptions, expectations and transcending the sort of more worldly aspects of the love experience.

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
I don't want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
(as common as a cold day in LA)

Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under?
Keeping me from seeing the real thing

Love hurts.....
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won't survive.

I'm fettered and abused
Stand naked and accused
Should I surface this one man submarine?
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth
I'll never lose what I had as a boy

I read this somewhere and felt that it was bout me, but hey, it could be bout you too......

I went to work this morning, sleepy, tired and grumpy

Tripped on the rug, spilled coffee all over my blouse

I sifted through the mail, there was much I had to do

I stood up for a second and dropped ink upon my shoe



The phone rag ten times before it finally stopped

It was a typical Monday and I felt I might just dropped

I got the Monday Blues, wish I could go back to yesterday

I got the Monday Blues, Friday seems so far away......
