by something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
Something is beautiful and true, there s something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
I m beginning to think baby you don t know, you don t know how you move me deconstruct me and consume me Myself, dream come into play
I don t know if i ll find a way, i don t know if i ll find a way Sweet, there s something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
and i m beginning to think baby you don t know
something is beautiful and true
Just to make this, you don t know how you move me deconstruct me and consume me
In a world that s ugly and a lie, there s something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive, something is beautiful and true
I ll throw away, there s something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive, i am starstruck
the room to breathe
i m beginning to think baby you don t know
Just to make this, it s hard to even want to try
Something is beautiful and true, cause i m sick of myself when i look at you
You don t know how you move me deconstruct me and consume me, in a world that s ugly and a lie
And i m beginning to think baby you don t know, i am starstruck, i ll take or leave
there s something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
The choice to leave you, in a world that s ugly and a lie
And i m beginning to think baby you don t know, i don t know if i ll find a way, in a world that s ugly and a lie
And i m beginning to think baby you don t know, i ll take or leave, i don t know if i ll find a way
In a world that s ugly and a lie, and i m beginning to think baby you don t know
i ll throw away
It s hard to even want to try, something is beautiful and true, but i m sick of myself when i look at you
a chance at greatness
About a year after this album came out I worked for Apple's Tech support (It was my first full time job as a teen). Matthew Sweet called in twice and I helped him both times ( I was in a paid support line for people who paid extra specialized help). I remember what a generally shy and nice guy he was. After the weird marriage proposals, I'd say this is the most memorable part of that time working there...
You don't know how you move me
Deconstruct me
And consume me
I'm all used up
I'm out of luck
I am starstruck
By something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think baby you don't know
I'll take or leave
The room to breathe
The choice to leave you
I'll throw away
A chance at greatness
Just to make this
Dream come into play, I don't know if I'll find a way
'cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think baby you don't know
This song and album will always be the soundtrack to the first love of my life at age 19. Just hearing this song gives me that lovesick queasy feeling again at 43.
We had so much fun shooting this video, and Matt is such a sweet cat, his wife is a darling, and Roman crushed it as usual.
Our 9-cam welded steel box to hold the 9x super8’s was soooo heavy, but it came out great. Our main camera was a 35mm Cameflex, lensed with Zeiss primes pretty wide open. Fun day at Matt’s.
Damn, I'm happy I was a pre-teen/teenager when amazing songs like this came out. But always makes me realise how much we're missing now. (What's an instrument anymore?! Who needs a good voice or something as stupid as an instrument when you've got AUTO TUNE?!)
I remember being 17 and singing this when it would come on the radio to my girlfriend Amy and her just laugh and blush..this song is bittersweet now because we never got the chance to marry because she had an aneurysm and passed away but I can still listen to this song and smile and think about one among many good memories
