i first heard slow me down on radio when i was still working. whenever i'm at lola's library, i always have my phone radio on and have it in full volume. then one time i got practically froze and got goosebumps. gad this song sounded like enya, i uttered. though i am no enya connoisseur. during that time i had this strange habit of jotting down title of songs that mesmerized me or perhaps i am just doing it just to pass time (such a humdrum job i had). well you know how DJs from "konyo" radio stations speak, always in gibberish, so i thought the song was by some emmy rose. i spent hours googling the lyrics and search the music video, but i found nothing.
then yesterday, while having my resume printed, i this song again. this time, i couldn't help it and ask the ate in the shop the song title. as nice as she always is (she better be because we are her suki already), she nonchalantly showed me the her playlist. bingo! it's slow me down by emmy rossum! the girl from the phantom of the opera. well i'm not instantly converted into a fan upon seeing her in the screen adaptation of the phantom, but i really think she's very beautiful. while doing this post, i'm downloading it. hehehe.
anyway, this really sounded like enya. some even compare it to imogen heap's hide & seek. but heck i am still entraced by this song!
Moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere
My head and my heart are colliding - chaotic
Pace of the world -- I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart
Save me
Somebody take my hand
And lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall
Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down
Sometimes I fear that I might disappear
In the blur of fast-forward I falter again
Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep
I'm getting nowhere
All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Passed me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart
Tell me
Oh won't you take my hand
And lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall
Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down
Just show me
I need you to slow me down
The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe, somebody please
Slow me down
pebi talking in gibberish again around 4:40 PM
