Steep

It’s a Sun­day and I’m not even sup­posed to post any­thing today. But I just had to post this video I found on YouTube. It’s Nina’s ver­sion of Steep which was a Lau­ren Christy orig­i­nal. The song is poignant and sad and makes you wanna cry (hehe). And I love this ver­sion by Nina. For some rea­son, I love this even bet­ter than the orig­i­nal. This is a friend’s favorite song and she kept ask­ing me for it the past days. I think she finally got a copy through LimeWire (yey LimeWire!).

I just real­ized after lis­ten­ing to this again that this is actu­ally a “good­bye song”. It’s about falling out of love. And let­ting go. And mov­ing on. :-(

Steep
Orig­i­nally by Lau­ren Christy

Softly, gen­tly, I will let you down
Cause I don’t love you in the same way now
I can hold you but not with lover’s arms
Cause you are more of a brother to me now
And I can lie next to you, but I can’t lie to you

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain,
For you the future’s easy, so don’t weep, for me it’s get­ting
Steep

I loved you for exactly who you are,
And I’d say you’ve come the near­est yet by far,

And I can lie next tou you, but I can’t lie to you

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain,
For you the future’s easy, so don’t weep, for me it’s getting

Steeper and in the dark that’s where I want to be
Deeper, I’m going some­where you won’t want to see…

So walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain,
For you the future’s easy, so don’t weep
Yes I will watch you,
Walk into the sun and watch me
Run into the rain drops
For you the future’s easy, so don’t weep
For me it’s get­ting
Steep.
