"Thinking About Tomorrow" as written by Ted Barnes, Beth Orton, Sean Reed and Sebastian Steinberg....
Tired but I ain't sleeping
Thinking about some sad affair
And why I should be leaving
'cause some of these thoughts only seem to take me outta here
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
Well these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
Thinking about tomorrow
Tired from all the time I spare
On what I still believe in
When none of my talk ever seems to get me anywhere
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
Well these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
So easy
So long
Bye, my friend, so long
So long
Will it ever happen again?
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been created for you
So long
You know the light ain't fading from you
Nothing could save me from you
So long
Tired but I ain't dreaming
Falling into solid air
And why I must be leaving
Or one of these days I'm gonna pull out all my hair
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
Well these habits are so hard to make
And they're so easy to break
So easy
So long
Bye, my friend, so long
So long
Will it ever happen again?
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been created for you
So long
You know the light ain't fading from you
Nothing could save me from you
So long
Thinking about some sad affair
And why I should be leaving
'cause some of these thoughts only seem to take me outta here
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
Well these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
Thinking about tomorrow
Tired from all the time I spare
On what I still believe in
When none of my talk ever seems to get me anywhere
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
Well these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
So easy
So long
Bye, my friend, so long
So long
Will it ever happen again?
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been created for you
So long
You know the light ain't fading from you
Nothing could save me from you
So long
Tired but I ain't dreaming
Falling into solid air
And why I must be leaving
Or one of these days I'm gonna pull out all my hair
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
And they're so easy to make
Well these habits are so hard to make
And they're so easy to break
So easy
So long
Bye, my friend, so long
So long
Will it ever happen again?
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been created for you
So long
You know the light ain't fading from you
Nothing could save me from you
So long

"Will it ever happen again?" is the question that seems to run through my mind, nonstop...
Anyway...enough with my pity party! This song is hauntingly beautiful and sad, but I also can see a bit of hope in the strong way she sings towards the end. It sometimes hurts a bit to listen to music that hits home so intensely, but maybe I can feel that hope soon as well, like she seems to.
Such a lovely, lovely song.
amazing
With all the contradictions she has of herself (I've been waiting for you, Nothing can save me from you)the song teaches a thing or two about balance: between heart and soul, theory and method, insanity and sobriety, talking and walking.
I'm amazed how she recognizes her demons (Bye, my friends so long), but I'm dumbfounded how she manages to make a resolve on an emotional level that few of us ever achieve.
The last verse befor the chorus is:
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make,
These habits are so hard to make and they're so easy to break.
So easy yeah
"So long, bye my friend, so long
So long, will it ever happen again?"
'Can we just be friends ?'. Ever heard that before ? I think after great deliberation she realizes that they CAN'T be friends, or at least can't carry on that type of relationship. Her feelings are still too strong. So...it's time to say 'goodbye'...for the good of her 'tomorrows'.
Unless you've lived in a cave your whole life, pretty much anyone can identify with how hard it can be to let go of people, places, and even things. But somehow or other we gotta move forward. And despite the fact that the music itself has kind of a sad lilt to it, there's also a resonant strength in the harmonies when she says 'So long'. It's got the ring of hope to it.
Very moving track...
no it's not.
