Not for the first time in my life I wished for iTunes to be in Singapore.
There are so many songs I would like to own that are totally obscure or are part of an album that I have no need for at all, wish I could just go on the Net and buy that particular song I want so much...
Went watching a movie with Peixuan tonight. She'd asked if I wanted to watch it earlier but I couldn't quite make it so I thought to call her to reschedule. In the end we just went ahead and watched it. It was The Lakehouse. Had heard about it but hadn't thought to really go watch it myself but, oh well, "Why not?" Had heard some good things about it and it was supposed to be a romantic film, right down my alley, so off I went to meet her for the movie.
I loved it.
It may not have been the world's most romantic movie and it is kind of based on Il Mare, which I'd watched, but it was lovely. Really lovely...
There was a scene which brought me to write this entry. She was waiting at a restaurant waiting for him after arranging a meeting with him to meet her the next day. For her it's the next day, for him it is two years down the road. She waited and he didn't come. The background music was awfully familiar. I had it once, a long time ago before I had my brother reformat the computer. Wished I had bothered to copy every single song down now. I miss the song so much and I have no means to get it short of illegal download. The song's name is 'I Wish You Love'. It's a jazz song that's been sung by so many different artists yet on no site could I find a free sample to listen to... Only managed to get the lyrics. Sigh... Before iTunes arrive on our shores I'll just have to settle for singing the song to myself I guess...

I Wish You Love
Goodbye, no use leading with our chins, this is where our story ends,
Never lovers ever friends.
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day, but before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say.
I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love.
And in July some lemonade to cool you in some lazy glade,
I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
But most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.
