Story Behind The Song
It is a love song. It is about knowing that a relationship is going to end, even though you love them completely, and they love you, but life is what it is, and things just can't be changed. It takes more than love to be happy, it takes so much more. But when we are young we are so dramatic, n'est-ce pas?
Song Description
A beautiful female voice singing a song of heartbreak. She sings in a calm clarity with a somewhat detached and dreamy voice. The guitars make a rich bed of chords and counter melodies. The bass is a fretless bass and moves under the chords with a warmth that adds just the right amount of movement to the song.

Lyrics
[verse 1]
is this the moment,
where everything comes crashing down
is this the last time,
that I will look into your eyes
[chorus]
if it is then let it be
its my peaceful tragedy
the saddest melody
for goodbye
[verse 2]
was it too good to be true?
like a part of me always knew?
and there was always going to be
a last time for you and me?
[chorus]
if it is then let it be
its my peaceful tragedy
the saddest melody
for goodbye
Is this the moment
Is this the moment
