Musical Sunday

I heard this song for the first time as it was playing in the background in a local restaurant, and I whipped out my trusty smartphone and used Shazam to learn what it was. I loved the tune, but was largely mystified by the lyrics, which I have since researched, and which I'm reproducing after the video for those of you who are equally mystified. The video is a little weird, but you can make of it what you will. Here's George Ezra singing "Budapest."

And here are the lyrics:

My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo

You
You
I'd leave it all

My acres of a land
I have achieved
It may be hard for you to
Stop and believe

But for you
You
I'd leave it all

Oh for you
You
I'd leave it all

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My many artifacts
The list goes on
If you just say the words
I'll up and run

Oh, to you
You
I'd leave it all

Oh, to you
You
I'd leave it all

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My friends and family
They don't understand
They fear they'll lose so much
If you take my hand

But, for you
You
I'd lose it all…

Oh, for you
You
I'd lose it all…

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo

You
You
I'd leave it all

Oh, for you
You
I'd leave it all…


Do you have someone you love enough to "leave it all?" I do, and I hope you do, too.

Have a good day, and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
