| M2M – Eventually Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song manages to reach a feeling of depth rarely found in teen pop music while hardly using lyrics, as Marion's vocals and Marit's acoustic guitar work breathe emotion into a calm melody. In my opinion, this is M2M's masterpiece. According to the girls' interviews, the song was written in Chile, with Marion and Marit both in love and recognizing that they were feeling the same emotion. |

| M2M – The Day You Went Away Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The song was conceived as a standard but very sincere mourning over a lost relationship. Despite the question near the end "why do we never know what we've got till it's gone", the singer and her boyfriend did recognize what was lost as it was ending, but the mystery of the song is that they couldn't stop (or perhaps on some other level decided that they shouldn't stop) what had become inevitable... "the day you went away" is already within them, and the singer is left to struggle with its implications. The meaning of the song is compounded by the fact that M2M was broken up by Atlantic Records on Sunday, September 22, 2002, years after the song was written. Intentional or not, this adds new perspective to the second verse and has perhaps contributed to the song's status as a continued M2M fan favorite. |
