Warwick Avenue

It's just another sleepless Saturday night. I am feeling fresh although deep down in my heart, i really hope that i can fall asleep and enter the beautiful dreamland. All these are due to the fact that i had an afternoon nap.

There's no EPL? No WWE? No movie to watch now? What can i do to kill the time?

At this very moment, my Winamp is playing Warwick Avenue by Duffy (www.iamduffy.com). I have been listening to this song over and over again. I first came to know about this song while listening to a compilation of UK top 40 i downloaded. I was (and am still) so amazed by the melody and Duffy's melancholy voice. She puts so much emotion into this song and everytime i listen to the song, i'm touched.

The song makes reference to Warwick Avenue tube station, near Little Venice in inner North-West London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwick_Avenue_tube_station). For folks, this is just an ordinary tube station in the vast London city. However, there must be some memories left here. The lyric is about a struggle of a girl to drop the past and have a brand new start from being haunted by the one who hurted her. She's broken-hearted and knows those days spent together were gone.

" I'm leaving you for the last time baby...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I've been confused outta’ my mind lately...
You think you're loving but I want to be free.
Baby you've hurt me. "

Somehow, i'm deeply touched by this song. Duffy's soulful voice blends in so well. I can feel the pain she's going through as she puts so much emotions into the song. She sings
"Don't think we're okay, just because I'm here...
You hurt me bad, but I won't shed a tear. " but I'm so sad to see her cried in the music video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZ5-L9znt8). It really shows great agony and oh so painful.

Well. It's almost 2am. I'm still wide awake. I think i'll spend the rest of the night listening to the song (hopefully i won't). Even if i turn off the light and lie on the bed, it'll be a tough task to not have the song playing repeatedly in my mind.

When I get to Warwick Avenue...
Meet me by the entrance of the tube.
We can talk things over, a little time...
Promise me you won't step outta line.

When I get to Warwick Avenue...
Please drop the past and be true.
Don't think we're okay, just because I'm here...
You hurt me bad, but I won't shed a tear.

I'm leaving you for the last time baby...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I've been confused outta’ my mind lately...
You think you're loving but I want to be free.
Baby you've hurt me.

When I get to Warwick Avenue...
We'll spend an hour, but no more than two.
Our only chance to speak, once more...
I showed you the answers, now here's the door.

When I get to Warwick Avenue...
I'll tell you baby, that we're through.

I'm leaving you for the last time baby...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I've been confused outta’ my mind lately...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I want to be free, baby you've hurt me.

All those days spent together, I wished for better,
But I didn't want the train to come.
Now it's departed,
I'm broken hearted, seems like we never started.
All the days spent together, when I wished for better,
And I didn't want the train to come

You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I want to be free, baby you've hurt me.
You don't love me,
I want to be free,
Baby you've hurt me.
