This was the third song on Morrissey's debut album. When I heard this song I immediately fell in a romance stupor with his warm, melancholic vocals. Dreamy and depressing...
Morissey is a vegetarian, gay and the song themes on a coastal town. Easily visible as to why this song resonates something in me. I grew up in a small coastal town that I didn't enjoy very much. But I like the song for more than just that. Morrissey handles the vocals brilliantly and the blending of words are like a soft paint brush running smoothly across a coarse canvas.
Someday I want my feet to be dangling in mid air, high above the earth and when I look down I see the tiny people and they won't be able to see me from such great heights of the cable cart rides and I would look at my partner in his gentle eyes and mark this perfect moment when he leans forward. The cable cart sways gently but I know I could not be more safe and when he kisses me I will be able to say, " I kissed you at the top of the world"
Someday, when I'm out in the rain and it showers intensely, so much so that I could feel every drop and know it's history, its journey, its story as it fell from the heavens and made its way to the earth, to me. I'll stand in the rain and smile at my partner as the lightning flashes from behind, lighting up his rain kissed skin. I'll watch as each rain dropped story falls and runs down his face, from around his eyes, the tip of his nose, his lips...I'll gaze at him, into his eyes and I will know his story without him saying a word. I lean forward and kiss him...in the rain and the entire world will stop. Every sound will be drowned out except for his gentle breathing and the music of his heart. Everything, every natural life chaos, every other persons music, noise or sound fades in the distance.
Someday, I'll drown in his arms as he wraps them around me as though we share the same space and time....
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
I think this is a pretty awesome music video. I enjoy the fact that everyone one is comfortable in their underwear except for the main character. Most of the guys and girls fit the social norm of what beautiful people are but as the song progresses and you see that even the stocky guy is all good being semi nude. So it's all in his head (lead guy). Which is directly translated to words in the song.
Taken from their fourth album Bleed America, the song hit number 1 on the US Billboards:Hot Modern Rock Tracks charts.http://www.jimmyeatworld.com/
I like the song because it gives me hope and makes me feel like I can to do this... social outcast or not...
The lyrics are pretty simple but it's more in the way he sings it. Can't really put into words as to what makes this song great so just check it out for yourself.
** There are two more songs that I recommend which you can find on my blog in the August: Reformation Theory.
