two hearts beating wildly. To put it mildly, it was love at first sight.
This is one my wife taught me to appreciate. I really enjoy the way the chorus takes a little twist right there at the end; the meaning becoming so much more. This is a thing I notice a lot more in country music than in most other kinds of music, and I expect that (now that I've called it out here) some of those other songs will leak into my brain in the coming mornings.

and the promises they hold You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin, yeah. Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah; you know, I used to have a scene with him."
Such a sad one...I never had any sympathy for the characters of Romeo and Juliet, but I feel bad for this guy.
Also, I had never seen that music video before. That is an ODD one, is it not?.

With all the good songs in the movie The Prince of Egypt, I'm not not sure why this one came into my head. Shrug.

In the light of day; let the storm rage on! The cold never bothered me anyway.
Well, let's be honest - it was only a matter of time until THIS ONE popped up. Still, even with the gross over-saturation, it's a well-written (and well-performed) song.

Not entirely certain I've transcribed those lyrics correctly, but MAN, this is a fun one!
I can't even think of the last time I heard this one, so no idea how it ended up in my head today; but I had some fun bopping around the house this morning getting it stuck in my children's heads.

He tried to cut me so I'd fit And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver, the way things could have gone? And doesn't that feel peculiar When everyone wants a little more And so that I do remember To never go that far Could you leave me with the scar?
I like this one; for being at its heart an angry, bitter relationship song, it really bounces and is quite cheerful in tone. That dissonance pleases me, in a way that I can't quite quantify.
