I tried to feed the hunger of an empty grave.

"Nobody like you"
Echobelly
(On, [1995, Rhythm Records])

Inside it harbours,
Desire bruises my skin,
So near I'm hungry,
I'd like to have more,
In control,
I've lost it,
l'd like to try it again,
It warms inside me,
We're moving one step closer each time.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway,
oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway,
Everyone knows.

We fall, slow motion,
I taste your breath in my veins,
Like waves, vibrations,
It's coming up again,
Let me climb inside you,
Caress your fever tongue,
Spread my wings around you,
And we can slide.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway,
oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway,
Everyone knows.

I've always craved,
I tried to feed the hunger of an empty grave,
You've shown me secrets I've not forgotten,
l'll give you all the love that I take,
That I take.

Inside it harbours,
Desire bruises my skin,
So near I'm hungry,
We're moving one step closer each time.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway,
oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway.
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh,
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh,
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh.

Just a quick post tonight since I've got two map midterms tomorrow. Argh, maps.

When I was in high school, Echobelly was my favourite band. I found about them through my cousin who worked at Tower Records. He's seven years older than me, and in high school, nothing couldn't convince me that he wasn't the coolest guy ever. He has a mohawk and wore leather and chains-- his fellow employees called him Mad Max. And I wanted to be just like him when I grew up. (You know, except for the whole being a guy part.) His girlfriend was really into a band from Britain. Consequently, Echobelly was the only music he listened to that wasn't a metal band.

Already being somewhat of an outcast at my own high school I adopted his complete catalogue of music as my own. I couldn't have cared less about Boyz II Men, Wu Tang Clan, Celine Dion, or the Spice Girls. There was no way I would ever fit in with the popular crowd anyway, so why bother listening to their music?

When I got my driver's license I had to beg for six months to get a tape player for my car. ('Stupid American radio stations', I'd think. 'They never play Echobelly!') I finally convinced my dad that I stood a better chance of not crashing my car while messing with the radio because I'd be listening to my own mix tapes on the stereo.

Echobelly never made it big here. I believe they toured back in 1995, but it's not like I could go to the clubs in San Francisco and see them. One of their songs was on the "Dumb and Dumber" soundtrack, and that was pretty much it for their chance at the American market.

Sonya Aurora Madan has such a beautiful voice. In my opinion, there was never a band who deserved stardom more than Echobelly, and never got it. (sigh)

My ribs still really hurt but I've decided just to lie about it to my friends. I'll just tell them I'm fine. A part of me thinks that I should be able to be tough and cope with this. It's not like I'm ever going to get any help from Shmizer.

So, yeah-- it's really hurts when I breathe. But I'm just going to keep it a secret.

I get hungry from time to time, but when I actually try to eat, it's like my appetite disappears. Time will tell, I guess.
