De Weg Terug

Hi peoples!

So I went to the cinema with a friend today to see a Dutch movie (I don't like a lot of Dutch movies. I mean, seriously, Dutch people absolutely suck at acting... unless they're Willemijn Verkaik, of course. But, anyway, this one I did like - it was really funny); and during the credits, a Marco Borsato song was playing (remember the singer I mentioned in my first blog post? The one whose concert I'll be going to in May? That's Marco) and it just seemed to fit my fanfiction 'Ghost of green girl's past' so perfectly that I had to put this up.

The song is Dutch and it's called 'De Weg Terug' ('The Way Back'). I think it's simply beautiful. You can listen to it by clicking this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5rvyza3Mt8.
It really is about two people having drifted apart in a relationship; but some parts of it are just perfect for the situation Fiyero and Elphaba are in in GoGGP... especially at the ending of Chapter 10. I mean, listening to this song and knowing the meaning whilst reading Chapter 10 guarantees tears, I think :3. I'll translate my favourite parts for you:

At arm's length, but miles away from me

...

Let me find you
Give me the chance to start over
Let me see you
Let me love you again

I'm searching for you in the dark
Why can't I see you?
Why aren't you answering me?

...

I can't handle having lost you

...

Give me something,
a sign that you're alive,
a single sound
In order for me to determine
which way to go

...

Why can't I see you?
Why aren't you there?

I really can't wait 'til the concert! But until then, lots of other awesome stuff - I'll be seeing Flashdance in just two weeks' time! Whooooooohh! :D

  1. Aw, beautiful song.
    (Can't believe I missed this blogpost... -_-')
    Too bad I didn't have time to catch up with Ghost of Green Girl's Present yet... I bet it's awfully sad. :P
