Early Winter

Can't get this song out of my head. I LOVE IT. And I'm not even that keen on Gwen Stefani (can take her or leave her either way). But wow. I just love this song, it gets in my head and haunts it!

Why?

I think it's that chorus and perhaps the bridge.... it's so beautiful and yearning. You can't really hear it on tinny computer speakers in this YT version, but she really sings it like she's crying by the end and oh, man, it just gets me there in my heart. Ouch. And it's much more punchy through a set of awesome speakers (thangewe, Steve, for your sensible if not cumbersome circa 1970's "They don't make them like this anymore" subwoofer and banging bass speakers - I know I complain about the fact that they are 15 metres long, ok slight exaggeration, and I wish they weren't black and so dense that I'd break my toe if I stubbed it accidentally on one of them... but wow they make songs sound so much better, you're right).



You, you know how to get me solo
My heart had a crash when we spoke
I cant fix what you broke
And you, you always have a reason
Again and again this feelin
Why do I give in

And I always was, always was one for cryin
I always was one for tears

[Chorus]
The suns getting cold, its snowin
Looks like an early winter for us
Looks like an early winter for us
An early winter, oh why did you deter me over

You said the map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The seasons escape you

And I always was, always was one for cryin
I always was one for tears
No I never was, never was one for lyin
You lied to me all these years

[Chorus]

Why, why do you act so stupid
Why, you know Im always right

Looks like an early winter for us
It hurts and I cant remember sunlight
An early winter for us
The leaves are changing colors
Starting over and over and over again
Starting over and over and over again
Well it looks like an early winter for us
It looks like an early winter for us
