![]() Under These Rocks and Stones (1996) [ larger cover art ] |
I was there when you
shone as bright as
Bethlehem from afar
I was there when
you were young and strong and perverted
and everything that makes a young man a star
oh you were a star
i was there and i swear to god
and on my mother's grave
on everything i have
or ever will embrace
i was there
and i saw it with my own two eyes
And now it's all around me
It's all around me
I'm surrounded
Now it's all around me
It's all around me
You surround me like a circle
I was there
C'mon and tell me i wasn't worth
sticking it out for
Well i was there
and i know i was worth it
Cause if i wasn't worth it
that makes me worse off then you are
And now it's all around me
It's all around me
I'm surrounded
Now it's all around me
It's all around me
You surround me like a circle
But don't you lose sight of me now
Don't lose you sight of me now
Cause i was there
when they dropped the bomb
ya' know i remember the bomb
and i still hear the bomb
and i still fight the bomb
you know i still fear the bomb
you know i still hate the bomb
sometimes i still get the call
So don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now
You know you're all around me all around me
I'm surrounded (So don't you lose sight of me now)
You know you're all around me all around me
I'm surrounded (Don't you lose sight of me now)
You know you're all around me all around me
I'm surrounded (So don't you lose sight of me now)
You're all around me all around me all around me
I'm surrounded (Don't you lose sight of me now)
You surround me like a circle

| MrGreg (Out West) | Posted: Jul 25, 2005 - 16:45 Jeez, what does she have against the bomb? |
| jnhashmi (Venice/Los Angeles) | Posted: Jul 25, 2005 - 16:44 Great song. My friend said she could do without the bomb, though. I don't mind it. |

During the first verse, she sounds like earlier Rickie Lee Jones. |

Alanis wishes she had that voice. Jonatha Brooke, though... |
| Nuance (Winnipeg) | Posted: Aug 06, 2004 - 12:11 She's from my hometown of Winnipeg, MB Canada :) She also does an awesome "leaving on a jet plane" that was in the movie Armeggedon. |
| StabnSteer (Houston, TX) | Posted: Aug 06, 2004 - 12:11 Yep...but crossed with Paula Cole. 'Tis very good stuff, 'specially since I like both Alanis and Paula. Alanur wrote: Does anybody think she sounds a bit like Alanis Morissette? Or is it just

| apd (Toronto, On) | Posted: Jul 23, 2004 - 14:18 This has been played to death on Canadian radio but you can't deny the strength of her voice - gorgeous tone, beautiful control, wonderful confidence, and so little vibrato. When she throws her head back and let's go on "...and don't you loooooose...", it's quite awesome. |
| PattonFever (wherever i go, there i am.) | Posted: Jul 23, 2004 - 14:09 this song came out when i was 12. it feels like so long ago, but it really wasn't. i loved it then, i like it now. good stuff. |
| Tabbycat (Calgary) | Posted: Jul 23, 2004 - 14:08 This is an amazing song, made all the more so by the fact that she was only about fourteen years old when she wrote it, following the suicide of a close friend. It gives me chills... |
| matink (Cola, SC) | Posted: Jul 23, 2004 - 14:07 Who is this and why have I never heard of her before? She's fantastic |
| mig7 | Posted: Jul 23, 2004 - 14:07 No listener comments on this song yet. Why not be the first? Are you sure you want to know? |
