Porcupine Tree – Shesmovedon

"Shesmovedon" as written by and Steven John Wilson....
You move in waves
You never retrace
Your newest craze
Straight out of the Face by the bed unread

I'm left behind
Like all the others
Some fall for you
It doesn't make much difference if they do

She changes every time you look
By summer it was all gone, now she's moved on
She called you every other day
So savior it it's all gone, now she's moved on

So for a while
Everything seemed new
Did we connect?
Or was it all just biding time for you?

    General CommentThis song totally reminds me of Jamie... a girl I really liked a lot, and she seemed to like me a whole hell of a lot as well, but now she wants to be back with her ex-boyfriend. This all happened this summer, too. Sigh :/

    General CommentThis song is just awesome! Very bitter...it's obviously about a girl who's used you. Just the bitter resentment towards the whole deal...I can definatly relate. Good job guys!

    General CommentGreat song, I love the little guitar solo in the middle, it's probably the most emotional one I've heard, and probably my favorite.

    It's about a guy writing about a girl who used him and then "moved on" just as quickly as she came

    General CommentPretty obvious what the song's about, I just got out of a relationship like this myself. Six months together to be taken for granted and ditched without a care after everything, very similar to what NickBush said. Ah well lol.

    Two small things I didn't like about this song... the sudden accidentals at the end of the first two stanzas kinda caught me off guard and sounded totally out of place, the guitar does the same thing a few times as well if I remember. That and the line "she's moved on" sounds too rushed. Just my opinion, all around though I enjoyed it.

    General CommentShe changes every time you look (All Gone Away)
    By summer it was all gone - now she's moved on (She's Moving On)
    She called you every other day (All Gone Away)
    So savour it it's all gone - now she's moved on (She's Moving On)

    i love that part, i could sing to it for hours.
    it is so emotional and it brings up that old feeling everyone has had at one time or another of being left. Very Melancholy Song.

    It's a question to the girl, with witch i spend very delightful week, after that she returned to her boyfriend. What a pity :>

    General CommentThe second re-recoreded version of it, that's hidden in Deadwing, is way cooler than the old one.
