Never Think
I remember the first time I heard this song. I don't recall the day of the week, the weather, what I was wearing or any inconsequential details. What I remember is the powerful emotion this song yanked out of my heart. I had to hear it again. Again. AGAIN.
Rob has an absolutely, hauntingly beautiful singing voice. He invokes a raw, soulful sentiment in this song. The lyrics are heart wrenching. It is passionate and melancholy at the same time. I have listened to Never Think countless times (literally) since that day, and I have not tired of it. In fact it seems to grip me even tighter as the days go by.
When he sings "Cause without me...you got it all..." I feel like he has looked into my life. I have felt that way so often, and the power behind those words just fucking undoes me...everytime.
I should never think
What's in your heart
What's in our home
So I won't
You'll learn to hate me
But still call me baby
Oh love
So call me by my name
And save your soul
Save your soul
Before you're too far gone
Before nothing can be done
I'll try to decide when
She'll lie in the end
I ain't got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
So you hold off
She should hold off
It's the one thing that I've known
Once I put my coat on
I'm coming out in this all wrong
She standing outside holding me
Saying oh please
I'm in love
I'm in love
Girl save your soul
Go on save your soul
Before it's too far gone
And before nothing can be done
Cause without me
You got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Rob,
Thank you.
xoxo

Awesome post. I have never tired of this song either.

Great post!
ReplyDeleteUm, I didn't like the song at first. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. Definitely hooked now.
ReplyDeleteChoo choo! Lovely - thanks for the lyrics. I can't always listen to the videos (computer fail, TH watching other stuff, work...), so I appreciate being able to read along!
ReplyDeleteI never knew the lyrics so added bonus for me to see how fitting they were for Edward. Thanks! I listen to this every day in my car at least once, sometimes more, because my daughter requests to hear it.
ReplyDeleteLOVED this post! I melt when he croons, "you'll learn to hate me" - guh.
ReplyDeleteCombined with those lovely photos... even my kitty is purring. NO, the actual cat!
Thanks, E!
I never read the lyrics before, and it's hard to understand them while Rob is singing them, so thanks for that. Now that song has a totally new meaning for me. It's definitely Twilight.
ReplyDeleteI love this song too, it's my ringtone on my phonem which unfortunately means I never answer to it as quickly as I should because I want to listen to the song. It can also calm me down no matter what. Even if the kids are being horrendous as soon as the guitar starts on this I can feel myself relaxing a little.
ReplyDeleteFab post. Got to go oujt now, I'll try and hop on the rest of the train later!
Awww what a beautiful post and not a Fuck in sight ;)
ReplyDeleteFucking love this song. i love his music - and you're right. it's the emotion that sucks me into it. I love this song.
ReplyDeletethis song is by far, hands down, the SEXIEST thing about Rob.
ReplyDeleteThis song is muy muy importante to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's when I lost my Robs-Music-Virginity. yes thats right. My very first Rob song... *sigh*
The beginning of a Robsession.
and its not only the voice that's amazing, it's the lyrics that just make you cry/swoon/die/everything else...
Oh, yeah. Rob porn accompanied by Never Think...does it get any better than that? I listened to it (full song) right after the premiere of Twilight and I ran out to buy the soundtrack. I've been in love every since. Definitely the beginning for me. I think I probably fell in love with Let Me Sign right off the bat, in the movie theater, but Never Think was close behind. Ahhhh. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!

Thank you for this... I have goosebumps just reading the lyrics, mostly because I put Rob's voice into it.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
Bad fan girl confession:
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have actually read the words to this song... and now.. I'm crying :(
Thank you for doing this post and making me love this Rob performance even more then I thought possible!
XOXO

I don't know how or why I ended up here last, E. It may be because I saved the best for last. I can barely see to type because of the tears. The quietness of this song guts me every time. Like thecoldshower said, this is the song that I lost my Rob-music-virginity to. Nothing can top the first time. It's what pushed me over the edge into Robsanity, as I have said many times.
ReplyDeleteNot a week goes by without me listening to this song and Let Me Sign (my current ringtone). I couldn't agree with you more - it seems to grip me even tighter as the days go by, too.
I had every intention of learning to play it on the guitar but like everything else, not enough hours in the day.
XXXOOO
