What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



The Washington state bands fifth album, and first for me. Thought it would come out a bit higher. Suffers with that
sameness label I think, a lot of piano based soft rock, which doesn't vary much. Bought this after hearing I Will
Follow You Into The Dark on some tv show. Don't remember what it was, but it was one of those death bed scenes. I
was mush by the end of it. If that wasn't enough, the real life scene, sitting in the hospital room, watching my
sis die of cancer, I was singing this to myself. Obviously I chose not to follow sis at that time. I'm sure she
made it ok, and I'll see her when it's time. A couple of other death related tracks here also. Only one other track
I love, Crooked Teeth. Two I don't care for, rounding it off to a like. The album got them two grammy nominations
and went platinum, reaching #4 on the chart. Surprised to see that the song I mentioned did not even make it on the
pop chart. Only one that did was Soul Meets Body.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Stable Song

Best Track - I Will Follow You Into The Dark

Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of the spark

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me "Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about 'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
And I'll follow you into the dark.
