Charlie Lim was first introduced to me by Spotify though their Ultimate SEA Indie playlist. It's basically a playlist of South East Asian artists with an indie vibe to their music. I cannot even begin to explain how grateful I am of Spotify for exposing me to so many great international bands that I could never have realized on my own.
I have been repeatedly hearing that Charlie Lim is the John Mayer of Singapore as his love songs are meant for the brokenhearted─kinda like breakup songs...which leaves the whole love part out in the end. Anyway, I've played his song on repeat since last year, and I still love it until now. It's about not giving second chances. It's about shoving at his face that he's not getting another chance at you. Here are a few lines of his lyrics that just make you want to feel the burn.
Wish you'd wrote it all on water
Watch it all go to waste
So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
Still running to your past life
When there's nothing left
And sort of ends on this note...
Don't you think it's for the best
That we don't always get what we want
Oh how easy we forget
When we could've had it all
Lesson learned...don't screw up the first time by taking it for granted.
