| The Smiths – I Know It's Over Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
When I hear this song, I think of my mother. Love doesn't come naturally between us, we're very different people and things have always been difficult between us. When I first heard this song, it was right after I got into a huge row with her. I cried that entire night, listening to this song, over and over again. The next morning, I hugged her and we cried and I missed her so much, even as I held her. I listen to this song every day to remind me that I can be weak and fight and hate and distance myself away from her but it takes strength to be honest and gentle. And on those last days, when I myself know it's over and the dirt is burying me, the first person I will think of and the person I will be crying for will be my mother. "Love is natural and real, but not for such as you and I." "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate. It takes strength to be gentle and kind." |

| Jeff Buckley – I Know It's Over (The Smiths cover) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I cried all night, the first time I heard this song and Buckley's version of it. I love the Smiths, but this cover is what I believe repaired the relationship between my mother and I. "Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head." To me, it seems that even at your very worst, when you're dead and lying in a casket and you feel the soil falling over you, the person you will always cry to and remember the most is your mother. They are Morrissey's words but Jeff sings it so naturally and so purely and so so beautifully. |
