I'm not really sure why I decided to look at the lyrics of this song tonight. In all honesty I have never heard the song before. However, I have heard a song that has many interesting parallels to it. "Motorcycle Drive By" written by Third Eye Blind also talks about going to Chelsea, and while you may think that isn't the most interesting comparrison, the lines "Summer time and the wind is blowing outside, in lower Chelsea and I don't know, what I'm doing in this city, the sun is always in my eyes." are very much like Counting Crow's "Is there anything different these days? The light in her eyes goes out, I never had light in my eyes anyway." I'm probably looking into this too much, but it was the first thing that came into my head when I saw another song that spoke of Chelsea New York and light in your eyes. Not to mention that 'Motorcycle Drive By' is a very catchy song... "You know all of this shit, just sticks in my head". Anyways I'm sure plenty of people have relationships that turn sour in Chelsea, it just so happened that two amazing bands had bad stints in the city.
And even if the two songs aren't related at all, I think it is still kind of interesting that the relationship, be it intended or not, is there.
