Day 05 - A Song That Reminds You Of Someone

When I was in college, I wasn't very much into alternative music. I usually listen to pop songs, mostly sung by boy bands and groups of girls. Then one fine day, I was introduced to someone who shared to me his taste in music and my life had never been the same again. I remember that this person lent me a tape of his favorite songs. I remember that there were Sarah McLachlan songs and Rage Against The Machine, but one song that I listened over and over to was this song from the original soundtrack of 10 Things I Hate About You. It's called Your Winter by Sister Hazel. Every time I listen to this song, I remember him. I remember Michael. I remember the guy who watches the same TV shows that I like ( Felicity, Dawson's Creek, Ally McBeal), who buys from the same record store where I buy, and who has the same friend whom I consider important. We had many things in common actually, but I was a jerk, and I pushed him away. When I look back to that time, I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I let him in. Sadly, I wouldn't know. We're not even friends anymore.

Your Winter

by Sister Hazel

The grey ceiling on the earth Well it's lasted for a while Take my thoughts for what they're worth I've been acting like a child In your opinion, and what is that? It's just a different point of view What else can I do? I said I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry , but for? If I hurt you then I hate myself Don't want to hate myself, don't want to hurt you Why do you chew your pain? If you only know how much I love you, love you Chorus I won't be your winter I won't be anyone's excuse to cry We can be forgiven I will be here The old picture on the shelf Well it's been there for a while A frozen image of ourselves We are acting like a child Innocent and in a trance A dance that lasted for a while You read my eyes just like your diary, oh remember, please remember Well, I'm not a beggar, but what's more If I hurt you, then I hate myself, don't wanna hurt you Why do you chew your pain? If you only knew how much I love you I won't be your winter I won't be anyone's excuse to cry We can be forgiven I will be here
