Something

Poetry is not my forte, and I am rarely grabbed by the words of a poem. I do however find a lot of meaning from song lyrics, which to me are a modern form of this ancient art.

I believe some songs if written out like a poem sound just as beautiful as when you hear them with the music. Something by The Beatles, written by George Harrison, is for me one of the single most beautiful love songs ever written, a view that was also shared by Frank Sinatra. The words are so passionate, yet so tender. This is a song you could fall in love to, but at the same time question how scary it is to fall in love with somebody (it is bloody terrifying). 

Music is my poetry, and I look to lyrics for guidance and support, the way others may look to novels and poems. This, in my opinion, is my favourite lyrical poem:

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.

Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.

You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
Stick around, and it may show,
But I don't know, I don't know.

Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me.
I don't want to leave her now.
You know I believe and how.
