One of my favourite tracks of all time has to be Royksopps “Only this moment”. I first heard this song some time last year from MusicOne and have loved it ever since. The video is quite enchanting too, it seems to be some young people fighting for the revolution whilst falling in love NB the Flash version I just linked weirdly plays the video in mirror-image (and quality is typical streaming affair). Plus, they actually rearranged the song from the album version which is what I’m used to! It’s still good though.

Something that annoys me about the web is the huge number of song lyrics sites that just copy and paste from each other. Sometimes they’re clearly wrong so, in case there are any other people out there who love the song and want to know what they are saying, here is my interpretation of the lyrics

Only this moment
Holds us together
Close to perfection
Nothing else out there
No one to guide us
Lost in our senses
Deep down inside I know our love will die

 ... okay ...

Only this moment
Holds us together
Lost in confusion
Feelings are out there
Scared of devotion
Doubting intentions
Deep down inside I know our love will die

(guitar solo, this is where the biplane flys around in the video)

Stay or forever go,
Play or you'll never know,
When heaven decided,
You can't deny it,
The soul you'll be waiting for,

Stay or forever go,
Play or you'll never know,
Your spirit's divided,
You will decide if I'm all you've been waiting for,

Clouds in my head have been parted with grace
By the voice of an angel revealing her face
and her words they make sense and I don't understand
Falling in love isn't part of a plan

Forces within me mix reason with lust, but
I try to accept it and not make it worse,
'Cause I know I might lose it by taking a chance,
But love without pain isn't really romance

Only this moment
Holds us together
Close to perfection
Nothing else out there
Always beside her
Trusting my senses
Deep down inside I know love will survive

(repeat)
