but what is true is that we loved,
and that I loved,
and that I love,
and I will always love

And love is always better

oh hot damn, this is my jam | always better → kelli o’hara (the bridges of madison county)

so i could make a hundred excuses as to why i’m not fond of this cover (i’m not classically trained, i’ve barely practised, i do not want to be compared to our lord and saviour kelli o’hara) but, instead, i shall say that i wanted my first cover of the new year to be something i loved, and i love this show more than my own life (which you will already know if you’ve been following me at any point over the last year) and dream of playing francesca johnson one day more than anything, so, though it’s not great, please try not to criticise (unless it’s constructive) because it means that much to me, but i hope it gets better over the years so that my dream becomes a reality. + requested by the beautiful jen (ilikebroadwaythings).

It is hard, it is insane, to place one love above another,
But what a choice!
And what a gift!
And what a blessing!

Kelli O’Hara and Jason Robert Brown introduce Always Better on SiriusXM Radio

“Your love for your family is part of my love for you”
[Francesca and Robert or Francesca and her family for chandraleeschwartz, insp x]

4/10 lyrics: Repetition of “a million miles”
And a million miles between,
the fires she used to set,
the hearts she used to break,
the lies she used to tell
and the woman she grew up to be.
~
All my life I have been falling, 
into you and I
have just one second
and a million miles to go. 
~
You and I have just one second,
and a million miles to go.

6/9 Songs: Always Better
And what is true
is that we loved, 
and that I loved,
and that I love,
and I will always love
and love is always better.

3/10 lyrics: 
I could have never known
that love like this existed,
but then you kissed me
and you left
and then I knew.
