Stand By Me

•Andrew Hozier X reader

-Warnings: ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIP!none, fluff, stressed out Andrew, dancing the living room to old love song.

The perfect rainy Friday night to stay in and just relax. You were at home getting dinner ready while listening to old love songs and was really missing your lover/fiancé. Andrew decided to stay at the studio later than usual, you couldn’t blame him. The poor man can’t sleep if he can’t write a song. A couple hours later he opened up the front door and step in side, his clothes drenched and his hair slightly matted because of the rain. He sat down his bag and guitar case, then made his way over to you. You met him halfway, he hugged you and stayed quiet. “How was your day, darling?” You asked looking up at him. “Stressful and lonely. I missed you more than before.” He said while pulling away from hug so he could look you in the eyes. The music in the background didn’t distract the moment that was happening. “I understand, my love. But you’re home now!”

You were trying to lighten his mood. “Yea… that’s true.” He then smiled at you. “Dinner will be ready soon. Do you wanna rest until then or help out in someway? I really don’t care what you pick.” You said turn your attention back to the dinner you were cooking and the music playing. He turn his attention to the music. “What is this song? I’ve never heard it before.” He asked curiously and completely forgot about your question. You looked at your phone to see what the song was, “The song is ‘Stand by Me.’ By Ben E. King. Why do you ask?” You said in response and also setting your phone down. “I like it, it’s a song that you can hear and want to slow dance to.” You the restart the song, walked over to him and held out your hand. “May I have this dance then?” You knew that was pretty cringy way of asking but you did anyways. He smiled and took your hand, leading you into the living room. The song played through the speakers and they dance. “When the night has come, And the land is dark. And the moon is the only light we'll see. No, I won't be afraid. Oh, I won't be afraid, Just as long as you stand. Stand by me.” His mood seemed to be instantly lifted as the both of you danced while the song played in the background and the rain outside got heavier. He spun you around, your h/c hair swooshed behind you as he did that. “And darlin', darlin', stand by me. Oh, stand by me. Oh, stand now. Stand by me, stand by me!” The song then end and you smiled at him lovingly, he smiled back at you happily. His mood was most definitely lifted now. “I love you so much.” He said pulling you in for a hug. “I love you too, hon.” He then gently kissed you on the lips you had missed the feeling of his lips on yours all throughout the day. The other songs played in the background and he looked around the room for a moment, his attention was then back on you. “Wanna dance until the dinner is done?” He said while slipping his hands back into her hands. “Of course.” You both then continue dancing to songs by ‘Frank Sinatra’ , Queen’ and ‘Elvis Presley’. The night had just completely restarted in their minds, and it was perfect.

तुम्हें हुस्न पर दस्तरस है मोहब्बत - वोहब्बत बड़ा जानते हो

तो फिर ये बताओ कि तुम उसकी आंखों के बारे में क्या जानते हो

ये ज्योग्राफिया, फ़लसफ़ा, साइकोलाॅजी, साइंस, रियाज़ी वगैरह

ये सब जानना भी अहम है मगर उसके घर का पता जानते हो ?

Is it just me or do you also have a playlist dedicated to each and every one of your heartbreaks?

“I got to keep movin', blues fallin' down like hail. The day keeps on worryin' me. There's a hellhound on my trail.”

I made this for my playlist, but it’s too big, which makes me go crazy.

Also when I was listening to other gareth playlists I realised that the same song was the first one on the playlist, so I HAD to add it. Do i know it? no. But i gotta keep it alive.

Give it a listen!!! I try to use songs that aren’t common in character playlists, it’s usually the same songs over and over.

I think we like old songs because they're quiet, and immeasurably soft. The softer the song, the more soul-bewitching, heart-warming and gut-wrenching it gets.

Those songs from the past, that I heard when they were first released, they still feel fresh in my soul, the lyrics take me to the time that has gone forever, the instruments and the melody of those songs, reminds me of the laughter of my friends, the tears that I shed while listening to some of those songs. I can smell that music as it takes me somewhere I was existing, I remember the faces of the people I was with, I remember the fun and frolic, I can still sense that sadness within me.

Who said the past never comes back? I say past lives within us, music is puissant, it can take us back in time, months ago, years ago, even lifetimes ago.

We can travel to feel, see, and touch our past selves for some moments, as if we are still living there, doing the same things, meeting those same people with whom we are not in touch now, crying, feeling those exact forgotten emotions again, laughing with those people who left us long ago, it is just experiencing our lost selves through our minds synchronized with music.
