New iTunes buy

I'm going to talk about the acoustic renditions album, cover is the same only says "[acoustic renditions]" under "Lift"


So I've always been a fan of Sister Hazel, but hadn't really heard anything new, or looked for that matter, in a while. I get the iTunes music letter (mainly for the free download every week) and I saw a new Sister Hazel CD. I bought it, only to find out that there is another Lift CD and this is just the acoustic rendition of 5 of the best songs from the original Lift album. However, I really enjoyed it. This is basically a love ballad CD, catchy, some songs bluesy, a good buy.

The first song is "The World Inside my Head", it's got piano, fun chorus, great words, this song talks about how he feels better when he paints his days with "purple seams and left out grays", basically he's living in his own little world. "Where did everybody go without me?" this is the attatchement to the real world, he's seeing that people have moved on and he's still just where he was when they left him still fantasizing. Basically the song is about day dreaming, but on a larger scale... I think.

Second song, "Hold On", the guitar is almost a little too repetitive at first, then it gets better, trust me. It's about difficult love, I know this all too well, ups and downs, rights and wrongs.
"I wanted so much to fill you up
But your cup is full of me
I've left a bitter taste on you
But you say its bitter sweetly"
Love is exhausting, but you have to "hold on to every little piece of my love". Sometimes we love right and sometimes we love wrong.

"Firefly", the girl that we all want to find. The girl where "everywhere is better with her", she's "not like anyone". Now I know a few girls like that, but the ones that are so different are hard to please, the one who knows more about art than you do and you are fascinated when she talks, she lights you up like a "firefly".

I love "Another Me" when we all think there is something wrong with ourselves.
"And I'm waiting for another me
One in between the burn and the lessons learned
'Cause being me ain't no way to be"
We are all living one big lesson and sometimes it seems that no matter how many lessons we've learned, we still get screwed and learn a new one. I feel you.

My favorite song on the album beecause its the most fun is "All About the Love". It's my favorite because its the most uplifting. When you are in love, nothing else matters, well at first. It is a little short but the song has fun lyrics. For instance:
"Have you looked at me lately
I've been standing around here waiting
Isn't it so fascinating
When loves, in love, with you"
It's all about the love. Stop, close your eyes and think about it. It's nice isnt it?

I recommend this album, although the acoustic renditions, which I have, only seem to be available on iTunes. So get an account and get it. These interpretations are mine and loose at best. Listen to them, look for your own and enjoy some good music. Have I said that hangovers make me lazy?
