iMedia: Said the Raindrop to the Seed

Said the Raindrop to the Seed is a little known love song about a drop of rain and a little seed. It is one of the best love songs I have ever heard. Its simple, its beautiful, and interesting. The metaphor is new, and amazing in its execution. Its the full story too, its not just a moment of love, its all of it. Its from life to death. It says that even though love is not historical by itself, or that they may not be remembered or even matter to anyone else, they matter to each other. It reminds me of the beginning of Love Actually (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMScPVO4rLw), it is not Romeo and Juliet or Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester, but one love, whether quiet or newsworthy, is no more important than any other. The metaphor of the raindrop and the seed is also very good because they are a team. Without each other neither of them can make a flower, something beautiful. Without the other, they would be a lonely ugly nothing, but together they make an amazing thing. In the end, the raindrop asks the seed to be always there for her because she can't stand not being with him, even in death. The song is so truthful, and plain (but in a good way). I think anyone who listens to this caught by it, its a relaxing universal song. A simple masterpiece.

Lyrics:
You and me,
Said the raindrop to the seed
We'll make a winning team won't we?
Cause when I fall down
You'll become a pretty flower
And I'll be finally free
From the shackles of this cloud

And the sun will shine
And we'll make the most of life
Come, we haven't got much time
'Cause all living things must die
But I will nurture you
'Til your petals turn to white
And you will hold me close
Until the last drop of me dries"

'Cause you and me
We have each other
And that's all we need
The place I'll call my home
Is anywhere that you will be
You and me
May never make a mark on the shape of history
But I'm glad you came to make your mark on me

So darling when I lie down
I hope you'll be around
To lay your roses down over me
'Cause I'd never keep
To watch you fall asleep
I wouldn't last the day
Without you standing next to me

Through a satellite lens
We are just a tiny speck
Oh, of little consequence
In the greater scheme of things
But from down here
In our private little sphere
The colors are in focus
And the picture's crystal clear

'Cause you and me
We've got each other
And that's all we need
The place I'll call my home
Is anywhere that you will be
You and me
May never make a mark on the shape of history
But I'm glad you came to make your mark on me

I'm glad you came to make your mark on me.
