Together by The Fray

I decided to play The Fray's Together EP and listened to the first track. Fortunately I discovered my love for this song. I like how the bass is played, with it's rests and short attacks. I'm not sure if that's a guitar that plays in the intro, but the this features some neat guitar playing as well. I also like how he sings the 2nd "We go together", which I've italicized in the lyrics below.

As the spring in its bloom
The summer stars and the moon
Come and dance with me my love
And we will be...

One, we go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you. We go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you.

As the leaves and the trees
The oceans celebrate you and me
We will live to see many days
And we will dream, we'll dream.

We go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you. We go together,
I promise forever,
everyday together,
I live with you.

Polly by Nirvana

I just finished reading a Kurt Cobain bio by Charles Cross entitled Heavier than Heaven. Also with news about Nevermind's 20th Anniversary, my appreciation for Cobain and his songs have increased alot. I like the sound of the guitar on this song, as well as the multi-layered vocals. It's amazing how something beautiful can come out of something that's really terrible, as the song was inspired a news article about a girl that was raped and tortured by a blow torch. In Charles Cross's book he highlights the lyric "It amazes me, the will of instinct"... and somehow I just can't get that off my head.

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself


Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She ask me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself

Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some my help
Please myself
I've got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some my help
Please myself
