The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favourite movies. I watched it a few weeks ago and it was the first time I noticed how romantic it actually is. When I say ‘romantic’, I mean sappy and love-dovey, but ‘romantic’ sounds more mature. It’s not a bad thing, just something I noticed. An example, and also one of my favourite songs, is a song called Sally’s Song. My favourite version is a cover by Amy Lee from the album: Nightmare Revisited.
The lyrics are:
I sense there’s something in the wind / That feels like tragedy’s at hand
And though I’d like to stand by him / Can’t shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it’s not to be
What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I’d like to join the crowd / In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn’t last
And will we ever end up together? No, I think not, it’s never to become
For I am not the one
