    This song is haunting! Listen to the words carefully.... it’s about unrequited love. “Not the hand that’s supposed to be”...your arms an illusion... I hope I never wake from my fake reality...This is about a love that was meant, but can never be. This musical innuendo is absolute genius.

      BTW Versao, thank you for this version of the song. A musical offering of this magnitude deserves an expanded space.

      I equate Mr. Porter’s music with trigonometry, yet it’s also as simple as two plus two. I so appreciate your breakdown of these beautiful expressions. ✌🏾

      There are lots of good men out there, Carolyn. Don't just 'wait', you can frequent places where good men are (I'm not talking about Bars, fwiw), lol - but you could join groups, places where you can enjoy your own interests and increase the odds of finding someone compatible.

      And, if you don't already have a dog and like them, they make wonderful companions AND help attract animal lovers. The phrase 'two birds with one stone' comes to mind. :)

    If love was everything, things that deviate from love would not have appeared.
    I believe that everything cannot be solved with love and that we must move forward with love in mind.

    LYRICS
    If love is overrated, let me be the one that is naïve
    If love is overrated, let me be the one that is deceived
    Let me find that your hands that are touching me
    It’s not the hand that’s supposed to be, your lips an illusion
    Let me be the only fool for your embrace, let me fall upon my face
    I like this strange illusion
    If love is overrated, why is it the only thing I serve
    If love is overrated, why is the one I’m in the one that I deserve
    I can tell you, oh it feels so real, every touch that I steal
    Your arms an illusion
    Let me be the only fool for your embrace, let me fall upon my face
    I’ll like this strange illusion
    Whoa I’m ok, with loves never-ending dream
    It’s a risk I’ll like to take
    In the hope I’ll never wake
    From this thing I call my fate reality
    If love is overrated, let me be the one that is naïve
    If love is overrated, let me be the one that is deceived
    Let me find that your hands that are touching me
    Is not the hands that’s supposed to be, your lips an illusion
    Let me be the only fool that you embrace, let me fall upon my face
    I like this strange illusion
    And whoa I’m ok
    Love’s never-ending dream
    That’s a risk I’ll like to take
    In the hopes I’ll never wake from this thing I call my fate reality
    If love is overrated, I’ll like overrated
    If love is overrated, I’ll love overrated
    If love is overrated, I am obsessed with overrated
    If love is overrated, I’m in love with overrated.
    Overrated.

    Elle me questionne cette chanson sur ce que doit être l'amour en couple chacun a sa vérité son idéal ses besoins ses rêves ses espérances sa conception et souvent tous cela ne s'alignent pas à l'autre créés de grandes déception et sidération
    Pourtant nous sommes tous en quête de cette sensation de se sentir aimer et aimer. .. a perte quelques fois et a contre courant souvent...
