Songs and Letters - Excuse the Cheese

Bon Iver's first album, from which came the ubiquitous single Skinny Love, is called For Emma, Forever Ago - I guess it can be assumed it had been written for, or inspired at least by the titular character. Adele's whole sophomore album, 21, is about one guy. And yesterday, as I was binge stalking researching the ever adorable Mr. Lightbody of Snow Patrol, I found out that both their Final Straw and Eyes Open albums, 2 consecutive ones, are about one girl as well. The Script, too, have openly spoken about the stories and the people behind their heartbreakingly beautiful records from all 3 albums (the 3rd due to be released in 4 days, I am so psyched!).

What am I saying here? Oh, you know, just that I hope someday, somewhere, somehow someone might be able to write a song for me, too. Or a whole album if they are up for it. (They?! Well until we get there, I can dream. Haha.) Also, it does not need to come out of heartbreak. I hope not. Because, really, would it not be sweeter if it were written out of our pure, incandescent love and happiness. Although a lot of the best records are the sad ones, those of heartbreak and all. At the risk of sounding emo, I have to say I personally have also always thought that there is beauty in sadness. But I hope we do not have to wait for that.    

And I hope to be able to write one for someone, too. And I do, I will. If I had any songwriting chops like any of the above mentioned.. or John Mayer, I believe I would have written a proper collection already by now, albeit for people and places I have not met and been to yet. But I will eventually. When the time and place is right, and with the right people. It will be a golden moment.

Love letters, too. Not to be cheesy, but I would love to receive long, heartfelt, well-thought-out love letters. And I think whoever has the capacity to write songs should be able to write love letters, too. Naturally, I should like to respond with letters of my own. Correspondence :)

Are my standards too high? But is that really too much to ask? Not asking for a book, just a few songs and letters :)
