This day's a spinning circus on a wheel

"Ashes And Wine" by A Fine Frenzy

"Don't know what to do anymore
I've lost the only love worth fighting for
And I'll drown in my tear storming sea
That would show you
That would make you hurt like me

All the same
I don't want mud-slinging games
It's just a shame
To let you walk away

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?

Don't know if our fate's already sealed
This day's a spinning circus on a wheel
And I'm ill with the thought of your kiss
Coffee-laced, intoxicating on her lips

Shut it out
I've got no claim on you now
I'm not allowed
To wear your freedom down, no

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?

I'll tear myself away
If that is what you need
There is nothing left to say
But...

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?
Reduced to ashes and wine?
Or are we ashes?"

this song is the newest addition to my list of favorite songs, which is rather long i must admit... (i'm actually thinking that i should split the list up with subsections based on why i like the songs) some of the songs on my list are there because of content, some are there because of the instrumentals, and others are there because of the way the notes flow from one to the next. this song is on my list for that reason; for the way that the notes flow together from one to the next. as a singer i am drawn to these types of songs because i find them more fun to sing, where the flow of the notes is unpredictable and unique.

A Fine Frenzy is one of my favorite artist, right up there with Billy Joel and Celine Dion, and i have had her songs stuck in my head since before comic-con. but now i know... i absolutely have to get that album!
