Immeasurably beautiful and heart-wrenching, slowdive = love, love = slowdive, I've played this song a thousand times over the years and it never fails still to take me to a place in my heart and mind reserved for only the most portentous and amaranthine thoughts and feelings.... When there is no other reason to live, at least there is always Slowdive...
@xroyceyeahx I'm guessing because it sounded too much like "Allison". At least in the verses. Man, I miss these guys. Back in the day I bootlegged their shows, bought every import I could find and drove around with an huge Slowdive sticker on the back of my truck. Ha! Ha! I still love them and will listen to them until the day I die.
Halstead has a clever way of using simple words to give maximum meaning. My fave is "Sleep when I want you" at the end of "When the sun hits". We've all been here haven't we folks?
They weren't particularly loved at the time, most journos from Select, NME, etc had little time for them. Listening to them now seems so fresh because they are so underplayed and there is always a circumstance which they've seemingly conveyed the feeling of. I sincerely hope they get due acknowledgement but not overplayed because they were /are truly wonderful and I listen to them daily still.
rainy afternoons. dark,quiet room. book. tea. Slowdive. Heaven.

I don't understand why they didn't add this to the album,
maybe there were personal reasons to why?
does anyone know?

@Babyshamblers I totally agree. This is also evident with the majority of Mojave 3 stuff.

@Babyshamblers I agree, but the lyric is "sweet thing I watch you". I believe.

@escriticapop that's what I thought too. perhaps the true lyrics were meant to remain a mystery

@Babyshamblers Isn't the lyrics "sweet thing, I watch you"?

Its amazing how much meaning and emotion ïs created by those 3 simple words "miss you always" when set to this music

Bother versions of this song are brilliant. How this never made it onto an album beats the hell outta me?
Babyshamblers 1 year ago 3
@Babyshamblers This and "Joy" are both absolutely brilliant. They should have been on a separate album after "Souvlaki" and before "Pygmalion" =]

il givea shot at the lyrics
Thinking good
you dont look so good
theres nothing here that makes you feel like you should
The summer is gone and you lost your way..
why hide you heart when its only such a waste
seen you cry and it makes me sad
makes me think i should have called you every day
miss you always......
