Music and Lyrics: Destiny by Zero 7

Going back to the classics today, guys. I was driving around town today, running errands, picked up the dry cleaning, and this song plays. Though this song is about a decade old, whenever I hear this song, it takes me back to circa 2005. Then, I just moved to my apartment and was just starting my own life. Though this song is optimistic on coming together with a loved one, it’s very heavy and lonely for me. Perhaps it’s because of the first stanza, which was very familiar to me those days, when nights can be cold, and I would lie awake for hours, though believe me when I say I was not watching porn.

On a lighter note, this song reminds me of Ate Jinggay (@vera_ftw on Twitter). She introduced this song to me. Since then, I’ve been a Zero 7 fanatic. When I need to chill, when I need to clear my head, Zero 7 has become my go to soothing music. Try it, it works wonders!

I lie awake
I’ve gone to ground
I’m watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe
There’s only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite

The journey’s long
And it feels so bad
I’m thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I’ll be back with you
I’m nearly with you
I’m nearly with you

When I’m weak I draw strength from you
And when you’re lost I know how to change your mood
And when I’m down you breathe life over me
Even though we’re miles apart we are each other’s destiny

On a clear day
I’ll fly home to you
I’m bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I’ll be back with you
I’m nearly with you
I’m nearly with you

I’ll fly, I’ll fly home
I’ll fly home and I’ll fly home
