Perri dapat inspirasi nulis A Thousand Years dari melihat langsung scene demi scene dari film Breaking Dawn Part 1. Karena dia sendiri fans dari film Twilight Saga, jadi pas nonton adegan-adegan itu dia ikutan nangis dan kebawa suasana. "When I screened the movie, it was definetely one of my favorite days ever", ucapnya.
Gitar akustik, piano dan string section membuka A Thousand Years. Seketika atmosfer romantis pun menyeruak. Seperti biasa, meski sebenarnya tidak terlalu luar biasa, namun vokal Perri dengan cemerlang menghembuskan emosi yang sangat intens pada lagunya. Sulit untuk tidak hanyut dalam lagu balada yang sangat romantis ini. Bermodal gitar dan string sections, vokal melankolis dari Perri semakin menambah sendu dari A Thousand Years.
Swear, lirik dan melodi lagu ini romantis abis. Aku share ya :)
Christina Perri - A Thousand Years
Heartbeats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
