Once there was a melody That came from the depths of me That's how it starts... It came from another place Trail I can never trace No matter how hard And it's strange how the story's yours now As it leaves my voice There was not a choice But to release you... There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you Oh, to release you (repeat) Once there was too much too say Though I should've find a way And that's how it starts Sorrows and ecstasy Grow all these words to me No matter how hard And it's strange how The story's yours now As it leaves my voice There was not a choice But to release you There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you To release you (repeat) And now you lay In another's mind... And you look like a stranger to me And now you lay In another's mind... And you look like a stranger to me To me, yeah There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you Oh, to release you (repeat)
i really like this song. maybe it's the well written words or fine tuned melody, or perhaps a combination of both. There's something so dark but sultry and seductive about this song. i close my eyes and i see the words coming to life. i see a scene taken in the 1930s era during the height of the flapper era with carmody dressed to the nines in the flapper fashion, sitting center stage front in a dimly lit room of a bar, the atmosphere filled with lost loves and misguided lovers - the stench of alcohol, cigarettes and sex lay heavy. her hand gently holding onto the mic, slowly singing her sorrows away to an ocean of lost souls, while tom misch, dressed in a tuxedo and overcoat, slowly wanders through the dark corridors of the bar, looking for the broken hearted woman, whose image lingers constantly in his memory, unable to release her...
Once there was a melody That came from the depths of me That's how it starts It came from another place Trail I can never trace No matter how hard And it's strange how the story's just now As it leaves my voice There was no choice But to RELEASE YOU (x2) There was a time, Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you Oh, to release you Once there was too much too say Though I should find a way And that's how it starts Sorrows and ecstasy Grow these words to me No matter how hard And it's strange how The story's yours now
Please make moaaaaaar!! Your music is amazing, beautiful, and I cannot wait for more! Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing to the world.
Crazy but true story, as I said in my previous now deleted comment I told how I couldn't find a girlfriend. I also couldn't find real friends either, so instead I imagined having a beautiful girl as my best friend and girlfriend. Honestly, I never remembered being this happy, we would always go out to the mall or the movies or just relax at home, and have sex. even when things don't turn out well, she'd always forgive me for that. I think me being alone is the reason for my bad behavior and sometimes I imagine my friend being away due to an illness as a reminder that maybe I don't deserve a friend like her because despite her making me feel happy and safe, I still feel aggressive and insecure in different areas and circumstances, and I also imagine us being parents of my two tamagotchis and her being my fiance because I don't believe I will ever find someone to love or have a family with. This isn't a cry for help but my parents think I'm going insane, and I don't believe it's true. this song resonates with me and all the times she made me happy and the times she went away which made me sad and it makes us wonder, "do we deserve the things we want the most?" It's hard for everyone to put the past behind them. And I'm no different, I still think about not having friends, being neglected by new people, and being treated differently in general, and because it happens it's as if I'm forgetting her. I think as long as I find happiness from her and remember the good things we do together, I can forget everything bad that happened and keep our fire lit!
