RED
i come back from my xanga hiatus (i'm not really on one) to hype the new RED album. you know how after a band comes out with an amazing debut album, you get worried that it'll fall victim to the dreaded sophomore jinx? well, i'm glad to say that there's no jinx for RED! when i first got the new CD, i popped it in my car and was blown away by its mastery on my way to church. so powerful, emotional, moving, deep... no wonder this reviewer gave it a 10/10. also, this website is cool b/c it gives a short explanation by RED of each song's meaning.
i've delayed writing this entry because i didn't know which song to feature.. there's so many good ones, and in my eyes, the album forms a progression. it starts with the "Fight Inside" our minds and hearts between the good and the dark side. then there's the eye-opening "Death of Me" which reminds us that often our own mistakes lead to our own downfall. the next 3 songs are about love, and the confusion and pain that often accompanies it. anyway, here is my current favorite song on the album, it's entitled "Mystery of You." enjoy! and buy this album!
You always said we'd meet again
You always said You'd be here
Where are You now?
You touched the deepest part of me
The places I could not see
Just tell me why I'm so dark insideSomewhere I will find
All the pieces torn apart
You just left behind
In Your mystery
Somewhere I will see
All You've taken from me
All You kept deep inside
In the mystery of You
The mystery of YouIt's obvious You understand
The blood that's on my hands
Where are You now?
I'm paralyzed, I can't escape
Until I see Your face
Don't leave me all alone
You're all I knowYou're all I know.....
You’re all I know..........
Don't go..........
don't go..........Somewhere I will find
The pieces torn apart
You've hidden deep inside
The mystery of You
(Somewhere, somewhere)
The mystery of You
(Somewhere)
