Its about time i posted something on these guys. Probably the most under stated band in THE WORLD. probably. Truth be told, today was the first time i listened to this song and actually "Listened" (thanks to Gilla) and because i got all intrigued i even looked up the lyrics, glad i did too, amaazin' as all Weezer songs are. p.s sometimes i wish i was japanese.
You are 18 year old girl who live in small city in Japan. You heard me, on the radio. About one year ago and you wanted to know, all about me, and my hobbies. My favorite food and my birthday
Why are you so far away from me? I need help and you're way across the sea I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong I've got your letter you've got my song
They don't make stationery like this where I'm from - so fragile, so refined So I sniff and I lick your envelope and fall to little pieces every time I wonder what clothes you wear to school I wonder how you decorate your room I wonder how you touch yourself and curse myself for being across the sea
Why are you so far away from me? I need help and you're way across the sea I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong I've got your letter you've got my song
At 10 I shaved my head and tried to be a monk I thought the older women would like me if i did You see mom, I'm a good little boy It's all your fault, momma. It's all your fault
Goddamn, this business is really lame I gotta live on an island to find the juice So you send me your love from all around the world As if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel.
Why are you so far away from me? Why are you so far away from me? I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong I've got your letter you've got my song I've got your letter you've got my song
My long lost love, So i realized today (thank you shuffle) that my music taste has been rather scrambled the last few years and that i had forgotten about so many bands that used to, well i'd (almost) say define me in a way (not sayin thats a good thing, just that thats how into them i was) bands like Converge, Bane, and these boys. I used to listen to these guys almost everyday, now its once in a blue moon, if that! What has happened to me! kinda scary, so to honor them and try to pick up where i left. Here's some goodness for ya!
Jaymay (Jamie Seerman) is my find of the night. This darling New York lady that well, no one seems to know much about... apart from the thousands of rumors that is. mmbop but who listens to those anyway? *shrugs* music is all
Post hardcore was definitely at its best in the 1990's. Along with At The Drive In, these guys (to me) top the list of the worlds greatest, fresh blooded and not afraid to get down and dirty, they brought to the scene exactly what it was needing.
I stumbled upon Miss Hannigan quite by mistake, her relaxing, almost annoyingly carefree voice is helplessly captivating, it picks you up and takes you on a wonderfully unpredictable journey.
Her music is in no way simple, but is portrayed in a very simple way, leaving it to explain itself and stand on its own two feat, Which it does brilliantly. I'm quite surprised (and annoyed) that i have only recently stumbled upon her music, i wish i had heard it all so much sooner.
So far this is my favorite, but i know its only a matter of time before i discover another i like even more. Enjoy.
