Give Me The First Six Months of Love (Michelle Gurevich)

I recently discovered the music of the contemporary Cannadian singer-songwriter Michelle Gurevich. As you may see from her surname, she is of Russian origin and interestingly her fan base is mostly in the Eastern Europe and Berlin. She lives in Denmark at the moment. I discovered her two songs “Lovers are Strangers” and “The First Six Months of Love” one cloudy and rainy afternoon a week ago by serendipity but the lyrics instantly chimed with me and I found the music hypnotic. Needless to say, these two songs became the soundtrack for my gloomy summer afternoon and I still can’t get them out of my head. The foreboding lead-grey sky went so well with the music that I almost felt I was transported to another world. It was definitely one of my little ecstatic moments and so I wanted to share the song lyrics in this post and I hope you check out her music if you don’t know it already.

You must know that moment

When the miserable world cracks open

You finally meet someone

Suddenly the chapter’s written

Six months with nothing other

Than a duvet and a jug of water

It’s a chemical jackpot babe

And we’ve got the winning number

Give me the first six months of love

Give me the first six months of love

Before the truth comes spilling out

Before you open your big mouth

One of the finest things in life

Gone on a serotonin ride

God knows I’ve waited long enough

Give me the first six months

First six months of love

Before begin the dissections

Before the therapy sessions

We danced the night we met

Now we need dancing lessons

Remember how it all began

We must not let habit set in

Come up the stairs, let’s recommence

The first six months over again

Give me the first six months of love

Give me the first six months of love

Before the truth comes spilling out

Before you open your big mouth

One of the finest things in life

Gone on a serotonin ride

Babe if we gonna stick it out

Give me the first six months

First six months of love

Give me the first six months of love

Give me the first six months of love

Before the truth comes spilling out

Before you open your big mouth

One of the finest things in life

Gone on a serotonin ride

Babe if we gonna stick it out

Give me the first six months

First six months of love
