Be Strong Now by James Iha

I found out about this again, from MTV. For some reason, I'm the only one I know who didn't listen to NU when during my formative years. But yeah, saw this in MTV. There must have been a quirk in their programming that day. Unlikely, maybe they were just trying to take advantage of being able to sell James Iha as a former Smashing Pumpkins member.

I didn't know his name when I actually saw the video, but I liked the song enough to take note. And here I am now presenting it to you.

Little darling belle with such a fragile shell
In the powerful way that love seems to make her
All regret it now
and if she'd only say what's wrong
She can't go on

You've got to be strong now
And if I come and hold you now
You'll be safe and sound


Little lonely face that no one ever sees
You see the thing she believes is life is bittersweet if
She'd open up to me,
And its the only thing she dreams,
you gotta believe

You've got to be strong now
And if I come and hold you now
You've got to be strong now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now
if I hold you now

Ooh God if I could change a thing tonight
We won't be lonely
Ooh god if I could change a thing
Why does it have to be this way

You've got to be strong now
And if I come and hold you now
You've got to be strong now
if i hold you now
if i hold you now
