Please don't say you love me

Music Monday: 'Please don't say you love me-' this is a song that I was told about yesterday by one of my beautiful friends, who seems to always find the perfect song to suit my mood. She is the same friend who introduced me to Tori Kelly, who's music I played on repeat for over a week, because I could relate to her songs so much, and absolutely loved them. Since then, so much has happened in my life (because, let's face it, that is what happens when time passes), so now I'm listening to this new (new to me) and wonderful song on repeat, absorbing every word sung, understanding them so well.

Gabrielle Aplin is an English singer, who's debut album (she only has one album at them moment- but let's hope she writes more) is called 'English Rain,' which is folk-pop. Aplin is a singer-songwriter who has such a sweet melodic voice and it is so pleasant to listen to her singing. I'm serious when I say: when I clicked onto the link that my friend sent me of 'Please don't say you love me,' and I heard the first few notes, I instantly went on iTunes and bought the song. I later found out that the week the song was first released (as a single), it had reached number 6 on the UK charts, which, being her first ever single, is very impressive, so no wonder I love it.

The lyrics are sweet, just like her voice, and I believe that many people who have experienced young love would be able to relate to this song greatly: it speaks of the fear of a new and strong emotional connection with someone, and the hope that everything will last, because what has been found is beautiful and could become more, but acknowledging how fragile everything is and that it might not last if things are rushed.

Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that
There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
