How does the shape of smb’s heart sounds for you if used in everyday (not too lyric :)) life?
Normally or too 'artsy'? |
I probably wouldn't understand it. If I did, it would take some imagination. |

Hi Tamara,
Like the bnc I'm afraid I can't come up with any solutions. I could hazard a guess with a suggestion: that's the way I feel/that's how my feelings are??

Hi Jamie
Just in case (as you can understand it), Russian equivalents are:
мне это (не) по душе (widely used expression)
and
мило (моему) сердцу (that's more poetic)
Sting used it exactly in the meaning.
Could you, please, explain it to Alan? :)

Not exactly 'the way'... but, Alan, I am afraid, I can't explain clearly...
When something is NOT "the shape of your heart", you feel very uncomfortable.
It is "against your soul"...

The defective (non-universal, Windows-only, Internet Explorer-only) software over there still won't let me post in Cyrillic, so I'll have to transcribe.

I can't find a translation of this that makes any sense. My Oxford Russian dictionary has it meaning "to one's liking", which doesn't sound right in your context.

This sounds like "dear to my heart". |

Hmm.
The question seems to be even more vague…
Following the link, Wikipedia (!) gave me for 'Shape of My Heart, I’ve found another (more popular?? :shock: ) song (by Backstreet Boys’s :) ... Oh, mamma mia...)

… very sweet...
Let’s just stop with it…
