| Stars – Lights Changing Colour Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think this song is about Amy joining the band and how they all really came together and clicked as a band. Amy's released a solo album called, "Honey From the Tombs," before she joined Stars, and the Evan Cranley, the bassist of Stars (and Amy's husband) worked on it with her as well. Although it's sung by Amy, I don't think it's from her point of view; I think it's more the voice of the band coming together and speaking about this amazing thing they have. | |
| Stars – Calendar Girl Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Maybe someday I'll be able to listen to this song without crying. Not today, though. I've always found this song to be about a girl who's just been left by someone she really loves and tries to commit suicide. She's not successful, and when she wakes up again, she realizes how beautiful the world is, and starts to get better. If I am lost for a day Try to find me But if I don't come back Then I won't look behind me All of the things that I thought were so easy Just got harder and harder each day Her lover has already left her, and her depression is already strengthened enough that she can't see a way back to happiness. She's lost but can't turn to anyone for help to guide her back. December is darkest In June there's no light But this empty bedroom won't make anything right And out on the landing A friend I forgot to send home Who waits up for me all through the night The months pass and get increasingly difficult and painful. Friends wait for her to get better, but she can't bring herself to find the light. Calendar girl Who's in love with the world Stay alive Calendar girl Who's in love with the world Stay alive I dreamed I was dying As I so often do And when I awoke I was sure it was true This is the stanza where she kills herself. Dreaming that she's dead, she's unconscious and very close to death, hanging in the balance. But she wakes up and is alive. I ran to the window Threw my head to the sky And said whoever is up there Please don't let me die She's slowly getting better, she realizes how close she came to losing out on every beautiful thing ever and regrets it, wants to be invincible and never come so close to dying again. And I can't live forever I can't always be One day I'll be sand on the beach by the sea The pages keep turning I'll mark off each day with a cross and I'll laugh about all that we've lost She realizes again that never dying is silly, everyone has to die someday, and resolves to always appreciate the beauty and amazing things in the world and laugh until her life ends Calendar girl Who is lost to the world Stay alive Calendar girl Who is lost to the world Stay alive January, February, March, April, May, I'm alive. June, July, August, September, October, I'm alive. November, December, yeah all through the winter I'm alive I'm alive The last verse, Torq and Amy sing it together, they seem almost surprised to be alive, like they just figured out that they had made it this far and the momentum will keep them going. It ends joyfully. |
