The Title Secret

What made me choose this title for my blog? Well, Nicole Kidman, Evan McGregor, Moulin Rouge - Come what may, I will love you until my dying day. Means anything?

I love the song. There are no complex notes. Not many strings. Not many instruments. No star singers. No extraordinarily poetic lyrics. What makes it so special? Simplicity. This song is simple yet beautiful - in its music, the voices and the lyrics. I could never really believe that the gorgeous Nicole Kidman had such a silky voice. The texture of her voice is beautifully silky and slips through the strings like a silk gown would through one's fingers. Even McGregor's voice is filled with passion, fervour and the strength that a woman always expects in her man's commitment. The song starts off with a set of simple string notes - McGregor's rendition of the opening lines has done complete justice to the lyrics - never knew I could feel like this at the start of any song.

However, as the song goes by, one cannot but wonder where the melody had been lost midway. Suddenly the beats take over and one can hardly hear the lyrics. When seasons change from winter to spring, one feels melodiously joyous while the song makes it sound a bit too strong for spring to handle. Yet, the harmony is restored when Nicole Kidman's waltz begins and suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.

This song is an example of a typical American story - the slow start, the rise, the fall and victory at last. Yet it stands distinctly - thanks to its simplicity. Simple is beautiful

And for those fans of beautiful lyrics:

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day i'm loving you more than this
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Chorus

The video has a perfect start - where you can see these words being typed on a typewriter from a bygone era - "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to just love. " :)
