Lief (-my love, be with me-)

In terms of 'aesthetic music' again: here's one of my favorites, this time in Dutch (so aesthetic-bit actually only applies to the non-Dutch speaking). But it is a perfect example really, of how beautiful something can be, without even fully understanding it.

As I say "fully", I'll tell you a little bit what it means, as it's, now that I think about it, so applicable to this blog's name. The person who's singing is going to make a major choice in life, not knowing exactly what the result of that will be, how he'll do it, or why. But he knows it is the right thing to do, as his heart and soul tell the same story, asking the same question. And he wants to share his destination with the one he loves ("lief") so he is reaching out and asking to be hold and joined along the way.

It's a question in its most pure, bare form. To be able to ask your love to be with you that way, is a true blessing.
