Annie Lennox - Waiting in vain (Serendipity Soundtrack) text lyrics

[arttadmirer]

Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds.Waited a lifetime for a love which wasn't mine.True love waits...a wait in vain.When you come to your senses,its just too late... you have no life and time left to let go and find someone better

[Bethflorido]

Feliz acaso...

[mypreciousonekev]

There comes a time when you've waited long enough, and you've done all you can to show your love ... and yet your beloved just does not feel it, doesn't appreciate it. Then you realize there's nothing more you can do but to let go, no matter how much it tears you up inside .... Goodbye my love.

[bethka104]

Love the song, love this version and love the message. Waiting in vain only keeps you stuck some place you shouldn't be.. Better to let go and allow something/someone better to come inside.

@bethka104 AM HERE,,,,,

[bethka104]

@i8tevverist Where.....and who? :)

[MegaBeachBaby123]

this song is haunting... amazing and real.. Love Bob Marley.. but Annie nailed it. As a women, she really put emotion in it. The words hit home.

[jmcl5216]

If someone you love doesn't understand the lyrics of this song, it may be time to walk away.

I watched this movie on a whim, but i'm so glad i did, the 2 Beautiful Soulmates finding one another before and after Fate opened the door. This song jumped out during the movie and captivated me, Annie a Masterpiece well done, well done !!! And Kate B. WOW !!! yes people i'm a Dude.

[marinabruner]

Bob Marley is not the original author of this song....I recall the song from my childhood before Bob Marley was around....but I cannot remember who sang it!

[siablo14]

@marinabruner  really when u find it u tell me because it was said Bob Marley never did over anyone's song

[alcoholichealer]

i remember her from the 80's so rad

and i love the softness of this cover

and in the film it helps the rainy healing at the end

(i grow cross when on ION channel tonight it was shorted)

[ninarock256]

My favorite movie... I do believe in Soulmates!

[dontnu]

Yesss! i finally found the title of this song :) been searching it for 2 hours....i thought the title of this song is "Very First Time" by Sophia...Anyway, i love this version...i don't care if other people like the original or whatever...annie lennox has unique voice....its very uniqueness helped me to recall the title of this one...her voice is one of a kind :)

[22BSUR]

100% love this version. Sorry guys - different strokes for different folks. Marley's version just doesn't cut it for me.

[22BSUR]

100% love this version. Sorry guys - different strokes for different folks - and Marley's version just doesn't cut it for me.

[musicscotty1]

This song isn't sung perfectly, but I can't get enough of it.

[jestertick]

We ask questions like 'do I prefer this version or the original?' - in doing so we reduce a beautiful thing with a sense of disappointment that we are not listening to our preferred rendition. This is how Annie Lennox does it, that is how Bob does it. Is that not enough? Why do we have to turn everything into a competition? We habitually apply quantitative evaluations where qualitative evaluations are more productive. This is the cause of all conflict within & between all humans. Stop the War.

[TheDeathtwinkie]

This version is way better than Marleys. Very powerful version mixed with Serendipity movie

[rodolfo133]

@TheDeathtwinkie : No way!!!!!!!! 

[kamilitaz007]

que liindoo..

[Federica221183]

A great song for a great film!!!! It's fantastic!

[lucythe22]

While I appreciate that Annie Lennox is a talented singer with a very captivating voice, she does this song no justice. This version almost seems upbeat and playful, whereas in Marley's original, the pain in his voice is tangible and truly heartbreaking. There are some songs which are best left uncovered and this must surely be one of them. RIP Bob.

[IVY16ful]

i love you,gennaro!!wapakels sa kanila..

[fernandamedrano]

both are excellent! the song is great...

[jlou3553]

This movie is a classic. I never get tired of watching it. It's reality to me and hopeful. And this song matches the movie perfectly. This is the only love movie that I don't want to fast forward any parts,within the film no matter how many times i watch it. I watch it from start to finish and always enjoy it.

[mysterytwit]

While I like Bob Marley, I prefer this version. It's easier on the ears. Much more relaxing than Bob's version. And she is better looking too! :-)

It is unusual for me to prefer a version other than the original, but this is definately one of those times.

[onegreenenvy]

she needs to apologize to bob marley.

[lucythe22]

@onegreenenvy I agree - what was the point of covering this? She's added nothing to the original - this has to be the most pointless version of a song ever.

[vikas19851]

Someone mentioned its not that good as original one by Bob Marley...but I find this version more soothing better music and on top of it imagining this song in context of the Movie Serendipity...make its wonderful...among the most romantic movie I have ever seen...I can watch as many times I want..

[CollectorOfMusic]

although annie did a great cover of this tune, and it fit well in the movie and on the soundtrack, i do prefer bob marleys original

[Resonantforce]

Fantastic song, great lyrics!

Thanks for the share Dori! :o) .xo

[dzynr8]

Absolutely Beautiful!!

[gefftom]

all i have to say this version sucks wahah

[QueUnlimited]

Great great song!

[tinagalvez85]

this movie is one of my faves... and its topping right now.. God i love it so much! cant help but watching it over and over again!

[ASJyagami]

i actually loved this song when i first heard it from the movie.. :)

[nymetsman321]

just my opinion but bob marley's original version of this song is a lot better!

[Eyes622]

This movie is on my Top 5 of all time! Fate and Destiny . If you have patience, they will both find you and it will be perfect!

[Lknn90]

for me the movie is epic... great actors, sweet love story, will always watch it with great pleasure, and the word "serendipity" sounds so sweet

[ohbm69]

in love i know there is lots of grief but YOUR LOVE is my relief. **sigh**

[krliyo22]

[MrGulu14]

my wife doesn't understand the song,

i think it's time to take my suitcase and go my way in life

[clairesreynolds]

@MrGulu14

 explain before you go

[gallardoknight6]

@MrGulu14 tell her listen to "time for me to fly",by REO Speedwagon.

[lohrje]

@MrGulu14 Dont go.....help her to understand. Whatever you need to do--help her to understand!

[lilaloc]

@MrGulu14 just because she doesn't like the song? that's kinda harsh, don't you think? :P

[yourwishfulfear]

@MrGulu14 LMAO , simplest of songs and beautiful as well.

[BE4TNGU]

@MrGulu14

Amen, buddy.

[accuruneide]

[zany1961]

[xxjjlpxx]

annie lennox is good but this aint the original, Bob Marleys version is better! but im glad Annie brang the song back to life again weather its her version or Bob's

[22BSUR]

I like this version better than that of Bob Marley's... And yes, I believe in destiny ... I know I was destined to be where I am now. ♪♪♫

[MaMoRoE]

this ones from bob marley:D

reggae rasta rocks!

[vito015]

I just saw the movie, and I have to say.. Is just awesome! I love the theory of destiny and soulmates combined..xD

Nice movie! I want to see it again.

[rosihantu1]

@vito015 Everybody love their destiny if its Kate Beckinsale.

[steamyboy69]

Two of My girl friends went back to the cinema for the 3rd or 4th time in different occasions just to watch this FiLm again & aGaiN,LOL (:

[steamyboy69]

SIGH ,,, I LOVE ANNIE"s version I got more excited when It was played in the film seRendipity :)

[serenarocks101]

i love this film and annie's version :D

[zomzgwtf]

Wooooooo Annie

[TakipiFlame]

this song is totally how i feel right now. I must be going crazy!

[OrangeAni]

Annie Lonox is awesome.

I like this guitar version :)

My favorite movie...

[idiocymaker]

the pic is very nice :)

do you mind to tell me where did you get it?

thx a lot (^^,)

[bobbylu23]

beautiful song

[billyfisherboy]

simply perfect love ya annie xx

[lentigoma]

It seems this song is the hymn (or him) of my life and love.

[sonatural]

simply perfect x

[wildy37]

Controversially, better than Bob's original...and a lovely movie to boot!

[midsummergirl]

It's a fantastic version of Bob's. I think they're equally as good as each other, but for me, they make me feel differently. I find Marley's more playful and sweet, whereas Annie's deeper and poignant. I watched the film Serendipity for the first time recently and loved it. I'm a romantic and kind of want to believe that love like this exists.

[llcooljq]

Of course it exists, just don't look too hard to find it

[hondacbr600fm]

QUALITY TUNE

[celticwoman112]

this song makes me cry... it's so beautiful...!

[MissyVogue]

i love john cusack ! <3

he's sooooo hot ! .x
