Heh, by Oasis. Outside of the songs Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, and Champagne Supernova, I hadn't really gotten into them. At the time they were popular, my musical base was Jamiroquai and anyone with a similar style. Warren introduced me to them, and I downloaded their discography a while back...December last year or so. My play list is on shuffle and Windows Media Player autoloads my music memory card for my phone, so slowly I've been hearing other songs from them. About once every week or two I seem to find a song that really strikes me and that I like. Curious, because they're sorta outside of my typical musical realm. Though, I like The Verve, and they're kinda similar...sorta.
Anyways, in a strike of cruelty, WMP loaded this on to my memory card, and while listening to music at school it came on....and my heart broke all over again. I spent an afternoon recently listening to it on repeat just straight bawling, screaming, and crying. As it's an Oasis song, it was basically guaranteed there's a guitar tab for it, and I tracked one down. I learned the song in fucking record time. Less than a day. While looking for a tab, I found out Oasis did a few acoustic versions at concerts and such. Youtube, being the treasure trove it is, had some posted.
Now, there's the two brothers in Oasis, Noel and Liam. (Who fight. A lot. Noel actually left the band recently.) Liam has kind of a harsh voice that almost sounds whiny. Noel though, I really love his voice. It's more smooth, at least to my ears. (I think he's the better singer but whatever.) When I found out there was an acoustic version of Noel singing the song, I listened to it over and over and over and over and over....and over. More hysterical crying ensued.
Music is very important to me, my connection to it is interesting. I can't really explain it, but I need music in my life. Depending on how I feel, I will trend towards music that reflects that. Rarely do I find a song that says everything I want to say or feel. It's happened once in the past year. Well twice now, because this song is every thing I would say....want to say....need to say....but can't and didn't. I hope this song comes up in his playlist, and maybe he thinks of me.
Me and you whats going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong
So don't go away
Say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
Cause I need more time
Cause I need more time
Just to make things right....

A familiar retreat behind well worn walls,
regretted mistakes as the kingdom falls.
The battle is over as is my trial by fire,
the damage was done and the loss was acquired.
They say what cannot kill you will help make you wise,
and that after all nights the sun has to rise.
When the sun rises it will find mirrors and smoke,
carefully formed in a well woven cloak.
Thus I stay hidden, protected, and covered,
and hope that my guise does not leave me discovered.
Perhaps the most unfortunate victim of such a war,
the heart of the kingdom lays crushed on the floor.
Hidden behind words, the cloak, and the wall,
"Never again," I shout, "will this kingdom fall!"
