The first time I heard this song, I was watching One Tree Hill. I love that show because it makes me feel like I'm a part of their world. This song is beautiful, even though it has a tragedy behind the words.
Im getting married next year, and I dont think that A song played at your wedding can determine if you get divorced or not... So i think that all the people that are saying " get prepared for divorced if you play this song" are divorced, or unhappy, or even jealous that theres a couple out there happier than you.
DONT'T READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE TH EBEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS COMMENT TO THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NO, YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DON'T STOP. THIS IS SCARY. PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
Seeing him perform this live, there's just so much pain, almost agony, even years after the divorce it's about. If you've ever been there, this captures so well an experience I can't explain in any other words. I hated the sentiment "sometimes love's not enough" when I was younger because I thought it was weakness.
Sadly I think this describes my current relationship issue, I heard this song in the car with the guy I love a couple days ago and had to try to not cry.
@kpensyl That stinks... you think you've found a really cute love song and then read the lyrics and realize it's totally off. It's a rather disheartening thing. I'm glad you pointed it out though for those of us who were just getting carried away in the tune and only part of the words.
@kpensyl how and why he wrote it might be about divorce, but just because a song was written and has that meaning to someone does not mean it has to have the same meaning to everyone else. people can listen and feel whatever they want when they hear a song. thats why music is great. theres nothing in the song that actually singles out divorce. its still a wonderful song.
@kpensyl i disagree. i think it is about someone loving someone else who is about to get married to another person.... he wants to be strong enough to move on... but he loves her.... orrrrr. i think it might be about a struggling couple. either way. i do not think it is about divorce
Def not a wedding song...He wishes he was someone else that could have made her happy and he didnt..he gave her away cause even at his best he wasnt good enough... its actually very sad
This song isnt about marrying someone its about losing a girl and wanting her when its too late listen to the lyrics he gave her away to another man and he wishes he was somebody else and he wants to let go of the pain he caused himself great song but not about the cinderella happy ending
ohhmyygoshh im like that teen that will actually listen to a song like this and like it so much even though i also like&listen to songs on mtv and stuff
you guys might think that this song is sweet and about how two people that loves each other, but I actually think it's about a guy who isn't ready for commitment and it's kinda sad because it's like the guy only realized when he was already gonna get married, just listen to the lyrics: "and even at my best, i want to let go.." you'll understand that maybe the guy isn't ready to get married and he doesn't want it, he just wants to let go..
so it's kinda weird to use this song on your wedding xD
@dreadrock429 thank u finally someone who understands what this song is truly ever time i go to a vid. of this song chicks r like imma use this 4 my wedding song and im like ur not truly listening to this song if u think its abut happines of being married.
I was dating this girl for 6 years. we have a kid together.. i went to jail and got myself together.. I got out and found out she was pregnant by another guy that she doesnt want to be with and I miss and love her so much but its just not the same... I loved her and this song makes me think of her so much.
LoveAlmighty - Listen to the words and the tone of his voice. He wants out of the relationship . . . Love is dead. " Thought I lost you . . . Jealous of the moon and how it moves away. .. Even at my best I want to let go. I want to be someone else, thicken my skin and wish it away. "
Kay, I'm confused. Is this song a happy song about getting married, or is it a sad song? It's a beautiful song, but to me it's saying two different things. Anyone know?
lol. I went to his concert last night and he was making fun of the people who wanted to get married to this song saying "Fine play it at your wedding... it's about divorce"
does anyone understand what he's trying to say? "in your wedding dress, to have an to hold ... but even at my best, i want to let go?"
is he trying to say that he held his wife on a pedestal and loved her deeply (especially on their wedding day - in her dress) but now, after however long, things have changed and he doesn't see her in the same light?
@PoohBearLoving Nope, you've pretty much got it. "To be with you, just to be with you" is essentially saying that he's marrying her just to get in bed with her. "Even at my best I wanna let go" He doesn't really want to be married to her. "And i wanna be somebody else now" He knows he made a mistake marrying her. Matt Nathanson himself has declared that this is an anti-wedding song, so people wanting to use it at their wedding is just odd since it's pretty obvious what is being said.
@clhswildcat really? i though it was a happy wedding song, but what does he mean when he sings "i thought i'd lost you, been jealous of the moon for how it moves the waves" or did he just put that there to make the song pretty(:
@AniqaOx Looking at the lyrics right before that line, the best explanation would be that while he doesn't really want to be with her forever, he also doesn't want her to be happy with anybody else. But that is just a guess, but I do know that this is not a happy wedding song.
Amazing song.. for some reason when every time i listen to it.. i always imagine a guy and a girl who r best friends. The guy is head over heal for her but shes getting married to someone else... at her wedding, he realize tht he needs to let her go
@Janissa1000 actually this song is a mix between happy and sad, especially in the end. "And I wanna be missing you lots, you're all I have left" Thats mix between happy and sad.
this song relly stays with you i like it it;s nice and weard at the same time kinda like my life lol i was going to get marreid at 17 but i dinet know if i wanted too are not you know to be with the same person the rest of your life before it began i mean you care for the person you know you well have a ok life but it's not wow you know? you think thars someone else thay can be better but you allso don't ot;s odd lol
Raxale use the song, just cut it off or have the begining loop at the end instead. The Version from One Tree Hill is the best. Season 6 Episode 23 Lucas Peyton Wedding afterwards.
it's pretty much about making a relationship work that was doomed to fail because the guy doesn't really want to be with the girl. so he says with her until he can't handle it any more.
@ifeelsparks i dont wanna just ruin ur hopes of getting married to this song but it isnt really suitable for a wedding of you listen to the words hes speaking of regret ex."even at my best i wanna let go", "thought i lost u i gave u away" and "i wanna wish it all away" matt. n. says this in a interview the song is talking about regretting getting married at the time it seemed amazing but it was a mistake
this was on 6.23 of one tree hill i love it it played when julien was telling of brookees mom and when lucas found peyton of the floor passed out bleeding
