The only musical piece on my blog!… because this song and performance is utterly a masterpiece (released in 2016), sharing it might brighten your day or appreciate life / love more amidst whatever it is you’re going through these days (i.e. quarantine of 2020!). Feel the immense passion in this musical piece and appreciate it further with its piercing lyrics. Surreal.

[Verse 1: Baaba Maal]
Listen to me, I want to tell you something
The reason I love you is because
You are the only one who has taught me how to love
And appreciate life

[Chorus: Mumford & Sons]
But in the cold light, I live, to love and adore you
It's all that I am, it's all that I have
In the cold light, I live, I only live for you
It's all that I am, it's all that I have


[Verse 2: Baaba Maal]
To feel hurt and to feel joy
Feelings that come from loving you,
Situations can change,
between the morning and the night
But our love for each other stays the same,
It stays strong; It is constant and it remains true

[Verse 3: Mumford & Sons]
So open up my eyes to a new light
I wandered 'round your darkened land all night
But I lift up my eyes to a new high
And indeed there will be time

[Chorus: Mumford & Sons]
But in the cold light, I live to love and adore you
It's all that I am, it's all that I have
In the cold light, I live, I'll only live for you


It's all that I am, it's all that I have

[Chorus 2: Mumford & Sons]
And in the cold light, I live, To love and adore you,
It's all that I am, it's all that I have
And in the cold light, I live, I'll only live for you,
It's all that I am, it's all that I have
Why do I keep falling?
Why do I keep falling?

[Bridge: Baaba Maal]
There is a time, a time to love,
A time to sing, a time to shine,
A time to stay, a time to go
There is a time, a time to cry,
A time to love, a time to live,
There is a time, a time to sing,
A time to love

[Chorus 2: Mumford & Sons]
And in the cold light, I live to love and adore you
It's all that I am, it's all that I have
And in the cold light, I live to love and adore you
It's all that I am, it's all that I have
Why do I keep falling?
Why do I keep falling?

P.s. This song was introduced to me by a beautiful soul with an impeccable music taste… such treasure, merci!
