Sorry if the media player doesn't load. It's a little temperamental. The link underneath works just fine.
I've never been much of a ballad-lover, but this song had me hooked from the beginning. The personification of love and hate (two of the most basic and relatable emotions) create a story that draws the listener in after the first verse. A hopeful song with a sadly predictable ending, this ballad speaks to the listener from both perspectives. Everyone knows what it's like to love; everyone knows what it's like to hate. And unfortunately, everyone knows what it's like to settle. Beautiful lyrics, simple melody, universal subjects. A wonderful ballad.
