Billed as a christian alternative band, Canada's Dakona wasn't around long. This is their last album of the three
made. Sort of reminds me of that Creed album I posted recently. Not really sure about the christian label. If you
profess your belief in God, it sticks I guess. Other than the obvious In God's Name here, nothing seems overtly
faith based. There may be some covert lines though. Better watch out, I may be influenced to lead a christian life.
Anyway, some pretty good kick ass rock on here, the best for me being the leadoff track, Waiting. Couple of other
love tracks in Richest Man and Good. Two that didn't make the grade. The picked up Goo Goo Dolls producer Rob
Cavallo for the effort and the sound certainly matches. I hereby pronounce this a good album.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Revolving
Best Track - Waiting
So youâve packed up all your makeup
And you grabbed your magazines
And youâre leaving in the morning
On a train
I guess Iâve taken you for granted
I guess I messed this up again
I think Iâve finally learned my lesson
But too late
One thing always leads to another
One foot slips and down goes the other
One and one is two but it's just me
So until you're here
Chorus:
Iâm waiting, Iâm waiting here
Iâm waiting
Any day, any night, anyplace, anytime
And I made this bed I lay in
But I shouldâve called the maid
Such a heavy-handed lover, such a shame
Iâm not too proud to say Iâm sorry
If itâd bring you back again
If itâd mother all the orphans in my head
And one things always leads to another
So until youâre here. . .
Chorus
Sheâs setting like a sun on the horizon
Iâm running through the fields to chase her down
Iâd stare into the sun âtil I am blinded
Just hoping for a glimpse of where sheâs bound
Iâd rather lose my sight than all my feeling
Iâm better when I feel my way around
Iâm better when I got you there beside me
Iâll be waiting, Iâll be waiting
Chorus
Iâll try to remember forever and ever
Is only as long as you plan to stay here
So come and remind me if you got the time
Any day, any night, anyplace, anytime
