before you were young

travis'in ode to j. smith albümünün finalinde yer alıyor ve belki de albümün en iyisi.

masal gibi bir travis şarkısı.
hani şu eurovision birincisi olan meşhur fairytale'imiz var ya onla aynı tandansta, hatta kat kat daha güzel bir şarkı. alexander rybak bu şarkıyı dinleyerek mi yazdı o şarkıyı bilmiyorum ama al sözleri biraz değiştir, ritmi hızlandır ve fran healy'nin sesindeki melankoliyi çıkar al sana fairytale..

neyse bu güzelliğin sözlerini de paylaşayım, hep birlikte maziye bir yolculuk yapalım...

In the days before you were young
We used to sit in the morning sun
We used to turn the radio on, what happened?

We'd see our lies in the aisles of fate
And take our cradles to the grave
But even then we're never safe from danger

And if you ever need me call
I will be there waiting
When you fall you know I will
I love you forever, I'll never say never

But I've only got two hands
And I never learned to dance
I'll never get a second chance whatever

I'll take the breath away from your sighs
And wipe the tears away from your eyes
And hope the fire never dies inside you

And if you ever need me call
I will be there waiting
When you fall you know I will
I love you, I love you, I love you

In the days before you were young
We used to sit in the morning sun
We used to turn the radio on, what happened?

öncelikle ; (bkz: durduk yere adamın amına koyan şarkılar)

öyle travis albümlerinde gezineyim derken denk geldiğim ve yarım saattir kıpırdayamadan dinlediğim muhteşem şarkı. öyle durup düşündürüyor,düşündürüyor...

And if you ever need me, come
I will be there waiting
When you fall you know I will
I love you forever, I'll never say never

But I've only got two hands
And I never learned to dance
I'll never get a second chance whatever

I'll take the breath away from your sighs
