Once Was Love by Ingrid Michaelson

Lyrics:

Don’t delay, something tells me I gotta go away
Maybe it’s the way we always stay when our hearts have gone
We can’t hold us anymore, no we’ve got to fold
Down to the floor, yes I know it’s cold but baby our hearts have gone

Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing

Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love

I gotta see if I’m filled up when it’s only me
It’s not your fault but you just can’t be here
Now that my heart has gone, now that my heart has gone
Now that my heart has gone

Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing

Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love

Everyone is hurting now and everything is burning down
But I can build back my new town today

Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing

Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love

There once was love, there once was love
There once was love, there once was love
There once was love, there once was love
There once was love, there once was love

Comment: This Radiohead classic gallantly galloping in tandem with Ingrid Michaelson’s gossamer vox is a great example of how a remake of a brilliant, long-standing song can be up to par, yet at the same time be incomparable with the original. The union of her head register with the frail ukelele strumming in the background starting at around 2:00 is so hauntingly beautiful that it never fails to evoke such large amount of emotional anguish from me.
