A Query for Rockwell & Dain (Stephen Speaks)
How is it possible for you to sing the saddest words of love
in a major key?
No, really, this is an innocent question.
Please do not misreckon my intentions for I assuredly do not
doubt your musical abilities. I esteem
this distinct song very much. Nevertheless, Out
of My League left me in an honest state of perplexity and bewilderment. I am torn between the desire to call you brilliant or insane.
At first hearkening, who would have thought that those
catchy and charming introductory notes on the piano would lead to the most
woeful phrase? “Out of my league.”
Spasmodically, “out of my league” foretells resignation; it
means cowardliness, when one is no longer willing to travel the road to be
where you are. There are also instances
when “out of my league” suggests flattery and insult together; this is when it
means that one is simply too nice to slap rejection on your face. “Out of my league” adds that the worlds of
the twain shall never meet.
“It could have been” are the most tragic words in love, they
claim. I say no, “it could have been”
can miraculously still be, but “out of my league” is terminal.
I have been out-of-my-leagued for a number of times in my
life already, and have done some out-of-my-leaguing myself. (Boo! Coward!) I don’t know with you but when I listen to myself
or someone else say “out of my league…”
I hear it in a minor key.

But then again… “Out of My League” in a major key… hmm…
the song’s contrasting formula is what makes it such a lovely sensation.

Same here with the tingling… i do think the song is lovely. =D Franz, this entry is an impulsive and nutty one. Don’t even pay attention to it.haha =)Yet, to me, “out of my league” remains a tragedy.
Franz, here’s a scenario for you. What if you told somebody that she was out of your league, unaware that she believed you were the only one in her league? and because you had already resigned to the fact that she’s out of yours, she simply backs away.
