tracing back the steps you made
to show me the way
and understand that what you meant
is there’s nothing to say
but all this time
nothing’s changed
you’ve moved too far
and i can’t see
no i don’t see
the way things are
picking up and crawling back
into your heart
but i’ve been gone for far too long
that i forgot who we are

i’ve always cited tori as a major influence and inspiration, both as a musician and songwriter. her artistry, methodology, and purpose are unmatched in my book. i admit that i don’t like every song she writes. but at the same time, i’m totally appreciative and understanding of the fact that there’s more to it than just a catchy riff or melody. after all, when have you ever heard tori’s name and the word “mainstream” in the same sentence? yet, she still garners an unfathomable fanbase. her words and music speak to the individual on such a personal level, thus establishing a sort of relationship, so-to-speak. personally, i can connect more of her songs to past memories very vividly, more so than any other musician i can think of.

now, since her talent and ability are one-of-a-kind, i can only offer these up as my interpretations of the songs. i just hope i did her some amount of justice.

downtime

walk out into the night in my sleep, it’s 4am
tell me i could never be the one
silence speaks to me slowly, smoking through the tears
while i’m turning myself out, choking on the years
so hold on, we’ll figure things out,
talk it over and somehow make it through with no doubt
that we’ll drive into the ground

every time i think about you is just another twist of the dagger in my heart

lost in a million years time
guarded by the spaces of your mind
holding onto nothing but stars
scared by the silence of your heart… so quiet
so gone, you’re so gone now

Back in December of 1997, The Sundays played a show at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. When I found out about it, I was so excited and couldn’t wait to go. But I ended up getting grounded that week for embarking on a day-long adventure that I never told my parents about, only to call them later that evening to tell them that I was stranded with a flat tire. Boy, were they pissed. But thanks to some camera savvy fans and Youtube, I’m able to watch these videos and lament over what I missed out on…

And while we’re on the topic of The Sundays, they had some really great B-sides at the time Static & Silence was released. Be sure to give them a listen.
