"Initially, "A Thousand Years" sounds just a bit sappy and even a
bit twee. However, stick with it and as the waltz time begins to sway
more and more the song moves into a bridge that is stunningly gorgeous.
If anyone thinks grand string and piano orchestrations have no place in
a simple pop song, listen again here. "A Thousand Years" then melts
back down into a gentle place before sweeping along to a pleasing
conclusion. Just as she grabbed us by the emotional jugular on "Jar Of Hearts," Christina Perri once again moves something powerful inside of us.
Christina Perri's voice is not a powerhouse instrument. However, she uses it to great effect sounding almost as if we were sitting with a friend who chooses to speak to us in song instead of everyday speech patterns. Instead of pushing her voice to power through a huge chorus, she lets the backing track do the speaking. It is an effect that adds a distinctiveness to Christina Perri's songs.
Although Christina Perri failed to find a major hit single to follow up "Jar Of Hearts," it seems like "A Thousand Years" just may be the song to push her back up pop radio playlists. "A Thousand Years" will also work well on event soundtracks ranging from weddings to proms. The swaying waltz time has an irresistible pull to the slow dance floor."
