SummersRadio™ Classic! Slowdive!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Slowdive - 'Alison' All this talk of shoegaze the last couple days got me thinking of one of my most favorite songs of the genre - and Christian Strobe mentioned Slowdive as well - so I simply must post it! 'Alison' is the first track on Slowdive's 'Outside Your Room' EP and their third album 'Souvlaki' - both released in 1993 on Creation Records.

In addition to the amazing production on this track, I also love the lyrics:

Listen close, and don't be stoned
I'll be here in the morning
'Cause I'm just floating
Your cigarette still burns
Your messed-up world will thrill me
Alison, I'm lost

Alison, I said we're sinking
There's nothing here but that's okay
Outside your room, your sister's spinning
But she lies, tells me she's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere

And the sailors they strike poses
TV covered walls, and so slowly
With your talking and your pills
Your messed-up life still thrills me
Alison, I'm lost

Alison, I'll drink your wine
I'll wear your clothes, when we're both high
Alison, I said we're sinking
But she laughs and tells me it's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere

Most songs sound like they move up and down - but this one goes more sideways - in circles. To me this song sounds like how floating would feel - if humans could literally do so physically. I wish that there was an extended version of this song - like an hour long! ♥ This is 'Alison'... Enjoy!
