    Lyrics:
    Love of mine some day you will die
    But I'll be close behind
    I'll follow you into the dark
    No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
    Just our hands clasped so tight
    Waiting for the hint of a spark
    If heaven and hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
    In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
    I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
    And I held my toungue as she told me
    "Son fear is the heart of love"
    So I never went back
    If heaven and hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
    You and me have seen everything to see
    From Bangkok to Calgary
    And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
    The time for sleep is now
    It's nothing to cry about
    Cause we'll hold each other soon
    The blackest of rooms
    If heaven and hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    I was singing this to myself while packing to leave for my last year of school and both my parents' dogs came into the room and laid down to listen to me sing. Those wagging tails were the best applause I've ever had.

    "Fear is the heart of love"

    • @AkaGamingClanHQ
      @AkaGamingClanHQ Před 6 lety +22

      I don't think that's the point at all. The speaker TOTALLY rejects this sentiment as he says he had to hold tounge when the nun claimed that and then immediately left and never went back. The song is about a couple who conquer fear by loving one another more than they fear anything else. As long as they have eachother even the greatest uncertanty of all, death, doesn't even phase them.

    • @micahconnor8954
      @micahconnor8954 Před 2 lety

      i know i'm like 5 years late, but fear can't be the heart of love. it's a crazy world and i don't know much, so there's probably alot of things that i think are true that aren't, but theres not much I'm more certain of than this. the more you love, the more fear is driven out. but anything done out of fear will be an ultimately selfish action, which is the total opposite of love.
      i guess there is there is a certain kind of fear when someone you love is endangered, but that fear can't be the heart of love.
      (maybe i misunderstood, or maybe this is all totally irrelevant since it's been 5 years. but i'm really interested to hear your take on this)

    Ouvi essa música no final de um capítulo de nikita, enquanto ela conversava com Owen tocava está música no fundo, e eu me apaixonei pela música ❤

    I’ve recently realised that it’s not death I’m afraid of, it’s the pain that may or may not come with it

      Or what's comes after. What's in the dark. Or at least that's my fear. I could handle it if knew it really was the final sleep. A long endless dream but I guess that's why it's the great unknowable.

      I haven't feared death or what comes after for a while. My mind has been completely apathetic for a while.
