The Corrs/WMG
Many of their songs when put in order form a series dedicated to the formation of a Just Friends relationship.
Several of their songs have clear implications of unrequited love forming out of friendship and eventually reciprocal love, and when put together in a row they can show the development of such a relationship:
- Forgiven Not Forgotten is about the "pillar" standing in the way of any relationship that is referenced in Love To Love You. It's the woman's feelings for her ex lover.
But now the memories of the man are haunting her days, |
- Love To Love You is about the woman recognising that her friend loves her, but being unable to do anything about it because of her feelings for her ex lover.
You recognised my barrier to love, |
- At Your Side is the male helping the woman through her pain and hurt of Forgiven Not Forgotten, being there for her as a friend despite his love for her.
When the daylight's gone, and you're on your own, |
- Hurt Before is the end result of all the pain and hurt, having finally got over the ex-lover, the woman once again moves out into the world.
You see she's turning the key, unlocking the door, |
- What Can I Do is the man trying to figure out what he can do to show the woman his feelings but deciding to be happy with their friendship.
There's only so much I can take, |
- All the Love in the World is the woman looking for love again, not realising it's in front of her face, believing her friend isn't the one for her.
Don't want to wake up alone any more, |
- Hopelessly Addicted is the woman's Love Epiphany.
Opened my eyes today, |
- Dimming Of The Day is about the woman believing that her friend no longer loves her.. in effect it's an Unrequited Love Switcheroo.
What days have come to keep us far apart, |
- Hideaway is the woman deciding to simply go for it, taking her chance that the man still loves her.
It's time to change, throw out the books and start again, |
- Runaway is from the male perspective, having realised that his love is now reciprocal, he makes it clear he still loves her and asks her to be sure that she has real feelings for him:
Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you, |
- Breathless is the first time they make love.
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless, |
- Make You Mine is the honeymoon period of the relationship.
I'm falling deeper everyday, |
- Summer Sunshine continues the relationship past the honeymoon period.
Now that you’ve loved me, |
- Looking In The Eyes Of Love is the final part of the story, having finished the honeymoon period, dealt with their UST and spent the summer falling in love, they are now completely in love, and looking towards spending the rest of their lives together.
Oh, my heart's found a home, |
- If you consider that Love To Love You references Autumn as being the start, and Summer Sunshine is near the end, it's possible that the relationship takes place over a single year, Autumn at the start, then Winter with the woman working through her issues about her ex, Spring being the parts of the relationship where the woman comes to love the man and Summer when they both finally get together.
