New Music

[bcholmes]

Gordon loaned me a coupl'a CDs I'd never heard before. Two CDs from a Toronto-area performer named Evalyn Parry. Very funny stuff:

You've got me in your dominion, baby. I am fresh obsessed with you!
...
But your heart is deep frozen, I want to walk you down the aisle
aisle one, aisle two, aisle three, aisle four... we are in the dominion of love!

- "The Dominion of Love"

(That's probably only funny if you live in Ontario)

She is obviously someone that I'll never be
but I want to know her, so I go over, I know it's too soon,
I know it's rebound, but the bar is noisy and I draw nearer
I want to feel her skin under my hand

She says "Boyfriend. I had a boyfriend. But it's over, it's really over."
And I say, "really?", but I know over, and I know over isn't really til
you don't have to say so.

She's saying things that should be warnings
She's saying things that should be warnings
warning bells are ringing: "wake up!" They say "wake up!"
They say "wake up before your crush crushes you."

- "warnings"
