cOmfOrt Of strAngerS

A friend sent me the mp3. Before hearing the song, the title caught my attention. Comfort of strangers... Hmm.. issit really easier to pour all your sorrows and complains to a person you hardly know cos tis other person isn't involved in ur life in any manner?? Does it constitute finding comfort in strangers? I thought it was perhaps due to 2 ppl being able to hit it off right from the start, and perhaps share similar viewpoints about issues. Am I not right? *Ponder* Here's the lyrics:

I know the stars that shine on me,
Are brighter than you or I could ever be.
I know there's an answer to your question,
But I don't know if I could word it right.

Say what you mean,
Don't tell it like it could be,
I'm not sure that I should say it out loud,
Say what you mean,
Don't tell it like it could be,
Right at this time, I'm gonna keep that in mind

One love, is better than not enough
I'd rather have no love, than messing with the wrong stuff
Just the comfort of strangers
Always the comfort of strangers
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

I know the sun that shines on me,
Has better times than you or I could ever be,
I know there's an answer to the question,
and I'm not sure that I should word it right,

Say what you mean,
Don't tell it like it could be,
Everytime your gonna set me free,
Say what you mean,
Don't tell it like it could be,
Right this time, let's take it right home to see

One love is better than not enough
I'd rather have no love, than messing with the wrong stuff,
It's just the comfort of strangers
Oh it's the comfort of strangers

Why, some of those are like best friends, best friends,
Ones that keep you coming round again

~~ By Beth Orton

After listening to the song, first thing, I am reminded of was the fact that my organ has been left collecting dust for the past (lost count) no. of years. I ought to get it fixed so that I have something to do during my freetime.

"One love is better than not enough. I'd rather have no love, than messing with the wrong stuff." Can't agree more with these 2 lines. Having one love, one true love, that's it. Love can be all sweet and nice but it ain't something to be messed around with because of the painful consequences that could result. To not have to suffer from the hurt and pain that comes with love, don't ever fall in love till you're really sure. Then again, who can be really sure of anything in this world? Hmm... strangers are like best friends. Why so? Food for thought...
