    This was our wedding song and meant so much to us. My husband died suddenly 2 weeks ago. His funeral was today. I played this song after I read my Eulogy. It took on a different meaning but still said so much. x

    I’m 15 but I have fallen in love with 80s Music from The Smiths, Aztec Camera, and Style Council. I have figured out that this music heals you when you are down and makes you feel happy. This is by far better than rap and current pop today.

    I could be discontent and chase the rainbow's end
    I might win much more but lose all that is mine
    I could be a lot but I know I'm not
    I'm content just with the riches that you bring
    I might shoot to win and commit the sin
    Of wanting more than I've already got
    I could runaway but I'd rather stay
    In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day
    (The one that makes me say, hey)
    'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
    You're the best thing that ever happened - so don't go away
    I might be a king and steal my peoples' things
    But I don't go for that power crazy way
    All that I could rule but I don't check for fools
    All that I need is to be left to live my way
    (Say listen what I say)
    I could chase around for nothing to be found
    But why look for something that is never there
    I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style
    For I realise your love means more than anything
    (The song you make me sing, yeah)
