"Just when I thought the coffeehouse phase was nearly finished...Marysia sounds sooooo much like Jewel in her early years, wayback in 1993, before Pieces of You. If you want to know what Jewel sounded like before she got popular, listen to Marysia. She looks like a CK model and writes and sings like Jewel."
Story behind the song
This song was written about Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and his obsession with the Slayer, inspired in particular by the episode Fool For Love. It was recorded live in July 2001 using what crude methods and bad guitar playing were available to me :)
Review - "Very beautiful voice, acoustic guitar, and dark lyrics. All of this will sweep you off your feet and takes you on a journey."
Lyrics
Dark, so much darker than this.
I'm trying to find a way close to you,
Cannot get close to you
Soon, it gets darker than this.
I just wanted a word from you,
Tried to believe in you
Thought about changing the world,
About changing my world,
Aabout changing for you
Begged you to show me the way,
Just to ask me to stay,
But you never would
CH: And you won't leave me alone,
Won't let me go free, I need to go home
But I don't know anymore,
where it is I belong, when my heart...
Dark, need to bleed you all dry
Need to rip out your heart, but I can't see you cry
I'll beg you to show me the way,
And you'll stand there amazed and you won't hear a word I say
I've changed, and I did it for you,
But you won't let me find a way close to you,
Cannot get close to you
Soon, it grows darker than this,
Always darker than this
And I am just dreaming my death away,
Dreaming your life away
-Chorus-
Lost, I'm a fool for your love
Never learned how to play, only know how to fight
I tried, though I knew I would lose
Threw my old life aside and I asked you to choose
And now it grows darker than this
Cause you won't let me find a way close to you
Cannot get close to you
Soon I'll be colder than this
So much older than this
And then I'll be draining your soul away
Able to walk away
-Chorus-
