Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
Oh my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
Oh my crying (Oh my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back
to my own home
Oh my crying (Oh my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back
to my own home
The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
I'm changing, arranging,
I'm changing,
I'm changing everything
Everything around me
The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
The world is
a bad place
A bad place
A terrible place to live
Oh but I don't want to die
Oh my crying (Oh my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back
to my own home
Oh my crying (Oh my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back
to my own home
The song "All My Life" by The Universals is a melancholic track that is full of emotion and depth. The lyrics are a reflection of the singer's life, influenced by both positive and negative experiences. The first verse starts with the changing of sunlight to moonlight, which is a poetic way to illustrate the passing of time. The reflections of the singer's life fill their eyes, indicating a sense of nostalgia and introspection. The greetings of people in trouble reflect another aspect of the singer's life, filled with pain and suffering. Despite this, they keep moving forward and trying to find their way back home.
The chorus expresses the singer's feelings of sadness and hopelessness. The lyrics "Oh my sorrows, sad tomorrows, take me back to my own home" convey a desire to return to a time and a place where things were better. However, the line "Feel I'm dying, dying" suggests that the singer is overwhelmed by their pain and wants to escape from it all. The repetition of "take me back to my own home" emphasizes the need for a safe space, a place where they can find solace from the chaos of the world.
The second verse speaks of change and transformation. The stress on the word "everything" in "I'm changing, arranging, I'm changing, I'm changing everything, everything around me" suggests a sense of chaos and upheaval. The singer is attempting to modify their surroundings, potentially to create a sense of stability in their life. However, in the end, despite all their attempts, the world remains a "bad place, a terrible place to live." The final line, "Oh but I don't want to die," conveys a desire to hold on to life despite its difficulties.

Is it just me, or did we just watch the whole movie in this trailer.
kuzey
Yesss
Angel Syndie Cabalhug
But we want to watch the full as well cuz we wanna hurt ourselves
En Otra Vida
Bueno, está basada en hechos reales. Así que no creo que está película se trate sobre "sorprender", ya que creo que la historia que cuenta es bastante conocida y conmovedora.
Zamira S
lifehack, just watch first 1 minute of any trailer in the future, all of them now have to show the whole movie...
Uzair Rahman
lmao so true

As a white woman married to an Asian man, thank you for actually representing AMWF couples on screen. How often do we get to see an Asian dude as the lead in a romance? Let alone being allowed to have an interracial romance that isn't fraught with stereotypes like awful Asian mother in laws, and disapproval from communities, and where him being Asian isn't the CENTRAL FOCUS of the relationship?
John Baliton
Haha relatable and I agree. I am an Asian male with a white American girlfriend(now fiancée, soon to be wife). We don't often let media stereotypes and people's opinions or whatever else negative get the better of us. It's just another relationship between two person who's values align and hit it off well. We both believe in God and that part of it, God has had a hand or involvement in. Our relationship, and lives individually ro together. Whatever it is, we are contented with our relationship, we have our lives and future together to work towards, be hopeful for and to live to the fullest and also our journey towards our calling together from God to fulfill. Oh and from one AMWF couple to another, God bless you and your partner..! 🙏 🙏

@Sabrina R AMBF is very under represented. I think the last time I saw anything hinting at AMBF was Romeo Must Die, with Jet Li and Aaliyah.

@jaja gabour Harry Shum Jr is GOD TIER gorgeous, yes.
