i certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
and i certainly haven't been spreading myself around
i still only travel by foot and by foot it's a slow climb
but i'm good at being uncomfortable so i can't stop changing all the time
i notice that my opponent is always on the go
and won't go slow so's not to focus and i notice
he'll hitch a ride with any guide as long as they go fast from once he came
but he's no good at being uncomfortable so he can’t stop staying exactly the same
if there was a better way to go then it would find me
i can’t help it the road just rolls out behind me
be kind to me or treat me mean
i make the most of it i'm an extraordinary machine
i sing to you to seek a new disaster everyday
you deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
i’m here to prove i’m here to move in my own way
and say i’ve been getting along for long before you came into the play
i am the baby of the family it happens
so everybody cares and wears the sheeps clothes while they chaperone
curious you’re looking down your nose at me
while you appease curtious to try and help but let me set your mind at ease
if there was a better way to go then it would find me
i can’t help it the road just rolls out behind me
be kind to me or treat me mean
i make the most of it i'm an extraordinary machine
do i so worry you
no need to hurry to stay this far and kind (? - any other interpretations?)
but it’s to no avail
i don’t want the veil of flowers
no everything will be just fine
if there was a better way to go then it would find me
i can’t help it the road just rolls out behind me
be kind to me or treat me mean
i make the most of it i'm an extraordinary machine
Review: Well, I'm listening to the song for the 5th time now. The first time, I really didn't like it, and still I'm not too impressed. The music isn't great at all. It sounds to me like Rogers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma music. Clarinet, flute, other instruments I can't identify, but very wind and string ensemble. Don't get me wrong, I love music like that (I'm even in my school band), but it just doesn't seem appropriate here. Don't expect drums or guitar. I think the music is a big problem I have with this song. I'm liking the song a little more with each listen, but I don't know. The music seriously needs a makeover. I think I am fairly with Fiona's voice, and I'm content with the melody line--it's catchy to me. This song, though, certainly doesn't highlight Fiona's talent. If the other songs on the album are similar to this, I can see why Sony shelved it. (Btw, is it official it's shelved for good or is it still in limbo?)
Give this song a listen (or more, which I suggest) and tell us what you think!
Again, tremendous thanks to
vacntilkreation for supplying us with this!
