Wonderful World means more to me than any other song out there. I went through a really difficult and hard time in my life due to depression and I lost the love of my life. I was absolutely horrible to him. I was depressed, completely lost and a total bitch. After he broke up with me we still saw eachother until I totally flipped out and it came to the point where he actually said that he hated me. After that sentence we didn't have contact anymore. I fell deeper and deeper, moved to another country and tried to re-start my life there. I had a pretty good life there but I missed my ex every day. Whatever I did, whoever I dated, that hole in my heart wasn't able to be filled. Everything changed when one day I saw an unknown number had called me in the middle of the night. Due to the time of the call and the unknown number I thought something bad might have happened and I decided to send a text message to that number (I'm a bit afraid of calling strange numbers :S). After the text message the number called me immediately. I didn't answer. Then I got a text message back..guess who it was? Yes. My ex. I was so shocked! I honestly didn't believe I would ever hear from him again. He called me again and I didn't know what to do. Answer? Not answer? Would he yell at me? I eventually picked up the phone and we talked..for 5 hours straight. We did the same thing (also 5 hours) the next day. What he said to me was like a dream. He told me he missed me. A lot. At that moment my life was perfect. After a lot more talking he came to visit me only a week/a week and a half later - which was quite something since he had to take a bus for 16 hours and we didn't see eachother for like a year. On the second evening (I believe) he told me he wanted me to listen to a song. The song: Wonderful World by James Morrison. He then told me he listened to this song A LOT while we were out of touch and I went away. The same things as in the song were going on. Especially these parts:
and i know that it's a wonderful world
but i can't feel it right now
well i thought that i was doing well
but i just want to cry now
well i know that it's a wonderful world
from the sky down to the sea
but i can only see it when you're here, here with me
i'd give anything for you to call me, or maybe just a little letter
I layed in his arms on the couch when I first listened to the song. And I cried. I imagined him at his place, laying in his bed, listening to this song and thinking of me. Feeling sad that we were apart, that we didn't have contact anymore, hoping for a call or a letter. It broke my heart. Later we agreed 100% that this was now our song.
And yes, we did get back together that week.
