A Broad Reference

Every now and then I find a song I like. This one by The Calling is very sad and romantic but in a haunting stalkerish kind of way. Why does he think he'll be gone? And how creepy is it that he thinks he'll be back to watch over everything. I guess it's comforting to imagine that you've got someone looking out for you. But just consider for a moment, does he get to see you in the bathroom? or picking your nose? or when you're with someone else?

The tune is very reminiscent of something else by Pearl Jam (the name escapes me now) and Creed's Arms Wide Open, but it's catchy and I enjoy it.

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place?
When I'm gone you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
