The song just came on air. This is one of those songs that I cannot go near to for it makes me bawl. Could be due to the strumming of the guitar, the melody, the singer’s voice or his style. However it is the lyrics that strike a cord in me.
I strongly feel that it is written from the songwriter’s true experience. It is a born loser’s one minute ecstasy after spotting a beautiful girl in the subway. That was probably the most beautiful thing that happened to his lousy, dead boring life. That sparkled his imagination as he dive into his mental escapade. The depiction of love so pure and simple yet bittersweet until the last two brutal verses bring things back into reality. Such heart wrenching vulnerability.
Now let’s imagine things from another standpoint.
You walk in the subway. You wear your usual clothes, mind your own business, do nothing in particular. By just being yourself, there may be a chance that you bring happiness to somebody’s life albeit a brief one. It makes a change in his life. Isn’t that wonderful?
