Scarborough Fair



Sometimes, musical notes are more effective in portraying feelings rather than words. Like now.

The song tells the tale of a young man, who tells the listener to ask his former lover to perform for him a series of impossible tasks, such as making him a shirt without a seam and then washing it in a dry well, adding that if she completes these tasks he will take her back. Often the song is sung as a duet, with the woman then giving her lover a series of equally impossible tasks, promising to give him his seamless shirt once he has finished.

* Teringat old flame eh? isk isk

* Lebih kurang macam Puteri Gunung Ledang ler nih.

Btw this has always been an evergreen fave of mine

Unfortunately, my blog is entitled Scribblings of An Empty Mind. Hmm... would be pycnogenol's blog.

Ahh..so what happens in the end? Do any of the impossible tasks get carried out?

(Sounds more of like a medieval household row between husband and wife to me)

Hehe..Oh, many things can be stolen over the internet *wink* And you do realise that this song isn't really from our generation, right? :P

And I dont seem able to get "Way Back Into Love" tune out of my head.

Now, THAT should be the tune from YOUR generation, Yoshi.

So, what's the explanation for all this mix-up, eh??? Haiyya!!!!
