![]() A New Tide (2009) [ larger cover art ] |
Little piece of me you can't have
And I know that it's driving you mad
Little part inside you can't reach
I'm afraid that's the way it's gonna be
There's a part of you that wants to fight
But I never really had the appetite
I feel my feelings won't speak
Words that will be taken upon the breeze
The wind is always blowing
Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
I've never felt so complete
Pieces falling from me
Though you try your best you ever fight
Little pieces that have left been behind
Last, last piece of the jigsaw
All the others scattered upon the floor
So you try to pick them all up
Little pieces falling in the dust
Little part of ash we don't need
So leave it to be taken upon the breeze
The wind is always blowing
Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
I've never felt so complete
Pieces falling from me
All this background noise that has clouded never fell
It's half the reason why I left
Time to make another plan and never lie
There's a fine line what you want and what you need
Standing right there in between
Never been that kind of free, I've never lied to me
Ah, la, la, la, ah, la, la, la
Ah, la, la, la, ah, la
Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
Never felt so complete
Never be what you need
Something missing from me
And I'll never compete
Never less than complete
Pieces falling from me

| cherokeechi | Posted: Mar 14, 2012 - 08:49 Can't wait to check them out (for my 1st time) in Atlanta. |
| deepwoodskev (In a town west of Chicago) | Posted: Mar 14, 2012 - 08:47 Fantastic show in Chicago last week. And they did this number. Sounded great. |

Oh, I guess we can hang on 10/11/12 or 11/12/13, but they're not as much fun as the perfect—tho' entirely fabricated—confluences of our penchant for counting things and marking the passage of time. Now that we're digressing completely from the topic here (Little Pieces), I read that 11/11/11 was a special "corduroy day" for a group that celebrates all the dates with ones in them. (No kidding.) You can imagine they must have been orgasmic last November 11th! |

| scrubbrush | Posted: May 07, 2010 - 11:00 Singer's voice is excellent and these guys have a lot of great songs. I've been listening to them for about 6 years, all thanks to hearing them on RP. |
| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: Apr 30, 2010 - 14:22 Good voice. All good. First time listen/instant fan. |
| Johnny_Wave (California, baby) | Posted: Mar 17, 2010 - 17:00 Ehhhh... not interesting |
| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Jan 13, 2010 - 16:28 I really like these guys. I like the singers voice. Don't know quite what it is. Seems very genuine,very different without seeming affected. |

| peter_james_bond (Lunenburg, NS) | Posted: Sep 01, 2009 - 05:03 Today this reminded me a bit of the Goo Goo Dolls. |
| wally42 (Between a Rock and a Hard Place) | Posted: Aug 25, 2009 - 10:12 I'm liking this new Gomez |
| derekd (Just Visiting This Planet) | Posted: Jul 31, 2009 - 16:01 Dggin this particular track—like where it went. |
| deadfdr | Posted: Jul 31, 2009 - 16:00 Most of what this guy does I find original, effectively moving in some way |

| Relayer (Gainesville, FL) | Posted: Jun 08, 2009 - 20:30 OK song....but this band just hasn't put out anything as great as their "In Our Gun" album....which was incredible. Since then they have just been mediocre songs packaged in somewhat poppy formats. I miss the old Gomez. |
| thewiseking (New York, New York) | Posted: May 22, 2009 - 08:16 ya can always rely on good stuff from Gomez |
| annersjen (in the rolling hills of New York) | Posted: May 18, 2009 - 09:49 Hey, a pretty good song from this album! Missing old Gomez |
| Proclivities (Carrboro, NC) | Posted: May 02, 2009 - 07:44 I like what I've heard from these guys, though I hadn't heard much about them other than their band name, (which made me think of John Astin on the Addams Family) until I listened in here. Well, that's part of the reason I tune in at RP, to hear different stuff. |
| akmegan | Posted: Apr 27, 2009 - 11:47 Im just so glad to hear something else off this album other than that damned 'Airstream Driver'. ![]() |
