Shakespeare in Love

on my way home, in the cab, i heard a song which i have not heard for a very very long time. it reminded me of a period of my NS before i disrupted for studies. the song was very popular then and for some reason, i remember hearing a lot of it while queing up for food.

hearing the song again brought back not just memories. but also feelings. of regret, of nostalgia, of pride, of anticipation, of fear. the song that i heard on the cab back home was "Shakespeare in Love" by Layla Kaylif.

He's fought and he's fallen
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A sinister romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see
Teachin' torches to burn bright
She's hanging on the cheek of night
A snowy dove trooping with crows
He never saw true beauty till tonight

CHORUS:She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it

So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love

He's fought and he's fallen
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A glittery romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see
His bounty's boundless like the sea
His love is endless, just as deep
The more he gives the more he has
`Cause both of them are truly infinite

CHORUS:She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it

So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love

A sinister romantic
He's on his knees before he's on his feet

CHORUS:She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it

She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love

something about the song, perhaps the tune, perhaps the lyrics, perhaps the emotional state that i am in now because of the things that have happened in the last few days/weeks, still very much resonates with me.
