“I Can’t Make You Love Me / Nick of Time,” Bon Iver
I noticed that over last 24 hours, the acoustic version of John Mayer’s “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room” that I posted after his concert here in 2010 is picking up in popularity again.
Wow, you guys, heartbreak central!
Here’s another sweet one to sob to (again, because I know we’ve all posted this track before) if you’re feeling lonesome as you ring in 2012.
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don’t patronize, don’t patronize me‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no, you won’t
‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’tI’ll close my eyes, then I won’t see
The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me
Morning will come and I’ll do what’s right
Just give me ‘til then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
I found love, darling
I found love, darling
Love in the nick of time
Well ain’t this song sad…
