You Are Everything I Wanted
NOTES: I first heard Cary Brothers on my Pandora station (more on that later), with the song "Wasted One." From the start I really liked his voice, and there's something about his style of guitar playing that reminds me of another musician, but I can't place who it is. So I bought this EP, Waiting for Your Letter, from iTunes and haven't stopped listening to it. "Ride" has become my favorite track (mostly on the strength of the guitar), although "Forget About You" is a close second. iTunes classifies Cary Brothers as folk, but I'd have to disagree. I think he's more of a combination of Pete Yorn (whom I also love) and Low Millions, with a little Nick Drake thrown in. His lyricism has been compared to Glen Phillips (ex-Toad frontman, whom I still love and adore) and I can get on board with that assessment. I also like this guy because he rocks the scruff while wearing a Wilco t-shirt. Yum.
You are everything I wanted
The scars of all I'll ever know
If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride…
You saw all my pieces broken
This darkness that I could never show
If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride…
