"This song is kinda of what Berowne was trying to say... in the 80's"
Berowne, the King's closest buddy, is a truly an eccentric yet wise character who is long-winded, outspoken, and does several Irish monologues throughout this romantic comedy. In Acts VI & V, Berowne finally announces his true feelings on this wonderful word they call...love...
"Berowne: Thou'st admire thy lamp post..."
"King Ferdinand: Doe'st thy truly admire thy lamp post?"
"Berowne: THOU'ST DOE'ST ADMIRE THY LIGHT POST!!!"
In Berowne's words... love is like oxygen and anyone who denys love or their urges/feelings, will die a lonely and painful death. We can not escape the strong power that love holds over us. Without love... life wouldn't have any purpose and wouldn't be worth living. Love makes us do things that we thought that we'd a.)never do, think dirty, nasty, and b.) evil things that we'd never of thought of, and c.)have verbal diarrhea of the mouth with drunk butterflies fluttering in your abdomen ... (At least for me... they all apply to me) And if you said "Yes" to all of the following... you are a fool in love!!! I mean, you don't need to be a genius to know you're in love. And yes... there are different kinds of love. Like I love Gone with the Wind or Braveheart or some other AWESOME MOVIE... I could watch it ALL DAY or I love art, movies, and all kinds of stuff like that... is entirely different than saying "I love you" to a loved one. Than again, saying "I love you" to your mommy dearest is definitely different than saying it to that cute dream girl of yours that works behind the counter of that at "geek shop" you go to just to see her (You're not a geek or anything) or that smokin' fine figure of a man that gave you the "kiss of life" at the beach when the tunnel of light beckoned you and you almost went into it had'nt been for that sexy god and you've been burning for ever since...(We all know you like him, admit it!!!)
Love finds you and you CAN'T hide. We, as humans, can't avoid our inner desires because love is primitive in nature. Love and Romance are amazing and are one and the same (Yes... I DO believe in true love and love at first sight and I like all that lovey dovey romance... :) ), yet... sex and passion (AMAZING things as well *wink* *wink*) shouldn't be confused with love. A strange thing... love is. Or, from the words of Ronny Camareri to Loretta Casotrini in the classic romantic comedy Moonstruck (Love that movie and all romantic ones!!!) "Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and *die*. The storybooks are *bullshit*. Now I want you to come upstairs with me and *get* in my bed!"
"It's a good thing that I lost my hand in a bakery accident... because I would've met YOU Lorretta... (Awwwwww!!!)
Love isn't just a walk in the park either. It requires trust, reliability, courage, and devotion. And love can have a way of making your life miserable, a living HELL and make you wish you were never born. It'll make you cry rivers of tears, yell the most obscene words, hurt the ones closest to you, and, on that note, make you want to crawl in a little ball of self - pity and wish that you would just DIE (Hey wait a minute...) And the worst part of it... it makes you want MORE and MORE and MORE!!! But I also strongly believe that there is someone for everyone (Or as Ms. A told me, "God has this "special" book of soul mates that he writes down... He or she, if God is a sex, will choose a mate especially for you and you will live happily ever after!!!" When she told me that... that made my day and has stuck with me ever since :) ) and, through heartache and pain, you will find them, even if you have to wait on your dying death bed, like poor Cyrano. Love is hard to describe and to different people... it means different things!!! Love isn't a one-night stand, it isn't a summer fling, and it isn't something you can just buy at a store near you... it's something true, something deep and makes you feel like you can do anything, makes you feel wanted and needed, makes you appreciate the world around you, makes you appreciate YOU, makes you feel free, makes you FEEL like YOU... So... in short... love is makes the world go round because we all need, in order to survive, is water, food, shelter, and love... true love. All you need is love...that's all you need :) (Cheesy as it sounds, it's true!!! John Lennon was right... such a smart man...)

"LOVE, that itty-bitty little water drop that seems harmless, can also cause agony and suffering to whomever it lands on... take Finn for instance..."
