how has nobody commented on this. anyways this song is so good

This song is pretty self-explanitory, I guess... about a struggle for someone, but it never quite works out and life always pulls the other person away. I love the line "but the night has brought the rain, and the rain has brought the night." This is such a lovely song.

again this song is so beautiful and poetic. heard it at the begining of the lake house movie. i think its about a one night stand for soem reason.

definitely one of the most heart-rendering songs i've ever heard. alasdair's vocals suit this song perfectly. i can vividly picture a nostalgic winter night with the love of your life (although she doesn't know it) that goes awry. the protagonist views himself as a "beast" (one that is constantly pondering love, love, love) which builds up an interesting parallel to the beauty & the beast like tale that we all fondly remember - except in this one, the two were never meant to be. it's about wanting someone with the very depth of your soul, although they could never possibly love you in the same way. it could also be about loving someone who changes so radically, and so quickly, while being involved with things and events so beyond your control that that you can never get them back. amazing song - transports me to a completely different time.
