lyrics

Soon as the pills started kicking in
She decided to go for a drive
The sun was shining through the afternoon haze
And she felt more alive

She had pictures of her children
She remembered all of their names
She knew it was much better for them now
But it hurt just the same

And there's so many reasons for everything
And people who just talk without listening
And people who spend their whole lives waiting
Like Mary

Put 50 cents in the jukebox
A-11 came up
So many years trying to do her best
Was it really enough?

He loved her like a sister
He loved her like a mom
He remembered what it was to fall in love
And then he was gone

And there's so many reasons for everything
And people who just talk without listening
And people who spend their whole lives waiting
Like Mary

In her dreams there were people watching
As they lowered her into the ground
In her dreams she was lost at sea
And never found

In her dreams she found another lover
Who never knew her before
In her dreams she was beautiful
Lying on the floor

And there's so many reasons for everything
And people who just talk without listening
And people who spend their whole lives waiting
Like Mary

everything is alive
by Slowdive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
