Melancholy Man

Melancholy Man

i'm a melancholy man, that's what i am
all the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground
i'm a very lonely man doing what i can
all the world astounds me and i think i understand
that we're going to keep growing, wait and see

when all the stars are falling down
into the sea and on the ground
and angry voices carry on the wind
a beam of light will fill your head
and you'll remember what's been said
by all the good men this world's ever known
another man is what you'll see
who looks like you and looks like me
and yet somehow he will not feel the same
his life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me
'cause he can't see what you and i can see

i'm a melancholy man, that's what i am

i'm a very lonely man doing what i can

when all the stars are falling down

and angry voices carry on the wind

I love this song. It's The Moody Blues' song. I first heard that from the radio and it made me feel indescribable. First of all, I loved the music because it takes you away from where you're siting to where you're dreaming to be. Then, when you pay attention to the lyrics, you start to feel "yeah man, oh what a lonely world" but you also faith in your own self as may be seen from the end of the lyrics. You believe yourself but your loneliness also stops you from improving your own. Even though you had a great day, when you listen this song, you start to feel what I described before. Even you're with you best friends and your boy friend etc, you feel lonely. At least that's what I feel while listening this song. I'm sure now you're asking why I do like this song. To be honest, I don't know. I don't know what makes me listen that over and over again. Actually, I don't like feeling melancholy but look at the song's name: "Melancholy Man"! Maybe, I also like the variety of the song because the music is great. I hope you'll like that too!
