At Least It Was - Emiliana Torrini

"I thought I saw you on the train

I hid behind some men

I'd never seen you look so good

I'm glad you're doing well."

I guess this song is about letting go of someone who really did mean a bit to you and then realising that what you had was really something special and now feeling regret now that its gone. This phrase is more about seeing that someone after a while and seeing them with fresh eyes can see how good they do look. Although its also about not having the guts to go up and talk but more admire from afar and reminisce of times passed, good and bad. The melody is pretty consistent throughout the song but it gives a familiar feeling to the song, its also sad but i think the lyrics capture what I and im sure many people have felt before. Regretting letting go something so good is always a good topic to relate to.
