I sensed a hesitation
The first time that you held me
So I closed the eyes of my heart
So I didn’t have to see
That I was pretending
I was pretending that you loved me
Did you love me?
And now I’m still hoping
My own private torture
I keep a door open
I keep a door open..
And tell me was it so hard
Tell me was it so hard
To be a little kind now?
Believe me I tried so hard
Believe me I tried so hard
To keep you in my life now…
Oh why…
Why….
Why can’t I forget you?
Forget you
So why…
Why…
Why can’t I forget you?
Forget you
I want it all (14x)
I’ve felt alone through my whole life
Every hour, every minute
I want to relive you
But I need to forgive you
I need to forget you
But I don’t want to lose you…
And tell me was it so hard
Tell me was it so hard
To give a little tenderness?
Believe me I tried so hard
Believe me I tried so hard
To keep you in my life now…
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
