As I mentioned quite recently, I remember you submitting that track to a members compilation here and I liked it so much I grabbed the EP that was uploaded to Last FM and I listened to that too. A few times. After a brief discussion around it recently, I listened to it again.
From listening to it I was always able to feel as though I had an understanding of what it was about, despite knowing very little about you. Now I know more I feel I understood the song correctly, but obviously not quite everything about it, the background, and the reasons for the lyrics. I am very glad you decided to write about it. Knowing more about it, knowing more about you, just makes me appreciate it more.
How old were you when you wrote it? I always felt you must have been quite young, but certainly not because of the song itself or it's content. If anything, these things would suggest you were actually a few years older than you must have been when you wrote it. You seem to have a firm grasp on lyrics and song writing, and as personal and as emotive as these lyrics are, they are delivered without a hint of angst or anything like that, but rather a maturity. I honestly was kind of blown away by that track. I really dug the members compilation, I thought it was solid and opened my eyes and ears to a lot of the talented people here, but your song stood out for me.
I'd actually love to hear more of your music, and as far as Why? go, I haven't ever listened to them. I've seen their name around here a lot, as you hinted at, but you've at least given me a reason to consider checking them out after writing such a personal entry about them and what they mean to you.
Good work
