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.
